Can anyone else subscribe to Spotify family plan?

MGIB99 — Fri, 25 Dec 2020 16:56:40 +0800

Every time I try to subscribe to family plan, I'm forced to subscribe with Digi/Maxis, not allowing me to even type in my Credit Card info. Paying with mobile is actually more expensive per month so I don't wanna do that, but IDK how to fix it. My friends and family seem to be having the same problem also.

Anyone have a fix?

Best budget popcorn in Malaysia

MGIB99 — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 12:05:12 +0800

Hey guys, planning to buy a big tub of caramel popcorn, maybe 500g or 1kg worth to put in the office for my co-workers. Any suggestions? Whether it's online or physical locations.

Would like the caramel flavour to be quite nice, not just sugar taste. Budget probably around 20-40 altho I'm not sure what the market price is, but as long as cheaper than those extremely atas popcorn brands Garrett.

It takes like 10 to 15 minutes just to start up the discord app, and I can't even login to the discord.gg browser app. I checked down detector and it seems like theres a concentration of problems from Malaysia.

As shown in the pic above, how would one get the opening price for this stock?

The example is BAT, at previous closing price of 10.16.

Best buy is at 9.92, and the best sell is at 10.24, so how are these prices matched to determine the opening price?

Does Rakuten take a cut off dividends?

MGIB99 — Fri, 20 Mar 2020 12:24:52 +0800

I heard from a friend that Rakuten takes a cut out of dividend payments, but he wasn't sure how much they take, whether its a portion or if it's a fixed cut.

Anyone know more info on this?

Working in UK, despite graduating in Malaysia

It's always been a dream of mine to work overseas, especially UK. Do you guys think it's possible to do so, after graduating in local uni.

What do you think would be the steps of looking for a job in UK?

I'm a finance and accounting graduate btw.

Higher basic vs low basic but high commission

MGIB99 — Tue, 05 Nov 2019 11:57:24 +0800

I just had lunch with one of my friends working in CIMB mortgage sales, and I keep hearing her say how much money her seniors earn once they hit their targets, with plenty of bonuses and good commission.

I also hear from another friend in Public Bank that its not uncommon to hear sales agents with 20 months bonuses every year.

That's quite insane, considering the management trainee positions are so much more competitive, but candidates could actually be paid less.

Just wondering, in the long term, would it be more lucrative to accept a lower basic salary job in a bank doing sales, but receiving plenty of commission if targets are reached, or going for higher HQ positions that have higher salaries but no commission at all.

Does anyone know anything about it? Salary? How to apply? I went through their website and it seems like there's no actual way to apply. Is it even still running in Malaysia?

Not sure exactly what the right price is for a real apple airpod, considering the amount of fakes online. Is the best way just through verified brick and mortar stores, or are there good websites to buy it from at a cheaper price?

What kind of job is appropriate for a 50+ aged wom

MGIB99 — Tue, 03 Sep 2019 22:19:13 +0800

My mom is 50+ and has been a housewife for a good portion of her life. Before she started being a housewife, she was an auditor in EY, and eventually climbed all the way to finance manager in Popular, earning 10k+ RM, and in those days, that's like equivalent to 30k+ now probably, using how much more expensive kopitiam food is nowadays.

She wanted to get back into employment, now that her kids are fully graduated and working, but it's tough for her to compete with younger professionals anywhere. What kind of jobs are appropriate?
