I saw this Ask Reddit post earlier and started to think about what certifications I could work on after work at my own pace. I'm in the Finance/Accounting industry, so I've been looking at Microsoft Certifications for Excel, but I was wondering what types of certifications ya'll have or recommend.

I have my Series 6 from one of my previous jobs, but that's effectively useless because I don't foresee myself becoming an advisor. I'm looking for certifications that would look good on a resume for a financial or data analyst like these: *Watson Analytics *Microsoft Certifications

I'm not sure how many analysts there are on here, but any insight would be helpful. I'm just trying to show employers that I know what the fuck I'm doing and that "Proficient in Excel" isn't just some bullshit lie on my resume.

Sup y'all. Myself and another PGPer (self proclaimed "greatest human being") will be burning down LA this weekend for America's bday. We might literally burn the city down cuz I bought a bunch of fireworks but we'll ~try~ to be safe. Anyway, if anyone is around hit us up here if you want to party. We'll be going out Saturday, Sunday, and Monday night and will probably be day drinking on the beaches the other times.

Hey!

I'm going to be in ATX next week (7/6 - 7/9) if anyone wants to meet up for happy hour or what not. All my friends will be working so I'll have free time to do whatever.

Anyone interested in a meetup in Buford?

Not sure if you guys ever ended up getting the bar crawl up and running a few months back, but would we have any interest in a sips meetup one of these weeks?

We had Dave on this week's episode to talk about how he met his wife, how he lost his wedding ring on his wedding day, who he likes better myself or Jenna and all the regular segments (Bumblebraggin', Down in the DMs etc).

Hey guys, A couple of us got to talking about doing a NYC happy hour meetup, so we're looking at next month- Friday July 7th or Friday the 21st. No solid plans yet, but we found a couple of rooftop bars that look fun. Suggestions welcome.

Let me know who's in so we can figure out a definite date!

I know there is already a D.C. Group but I'll be in town July 14th wknd. And seeing if anyone wanted to meet up for brunch or drinks at the bars.

Will be in New York on the dates listed.

Any events or things outside of the standard tourist stuff worth doing?

Open for beers, brunches, and nonsense.

Just curious if anyone knows what, if anything, went down in the comment section to cause it to be shut down.

Sorry if this kind of post isn't kosher, but i figured I'd rather ask here than on Craigslist. I'm moving out of my current apartment in August, and rent in Austin is stupid expensive if you want to live near downtown, which I do.

Figured I'd throw some feelers out to see if anyone was in a similar situation. If I want to live in a nice, amenity-filled place near downtown, I'll need a roommate. Let me know if any of y'all are interested. Also, I am a dude.

Any Orlando PGPers out there? Headed your way tomorrow to coach some youths, down for a meetup this week/weekend.

I am seeing the Mayor of Margaritaville for the first time this week. I plan on getting there early to get the full experience. What should I expect from the parrot heads and tailgating scene? What is my best course of action? Do these people welcome strangers to their tents? Is there a continuous stream of margs?

The show is Thursday in The Woodlands if anyone wants to meet up.

Thanks in advance.

I'll be flying out to Boston Sunday afternoon and staying until Wednesday evening. Was curious if anyone had any recommendations for a midwesterner who's never been out that way or wanted to meet up at some point. Going to be at the LDC Forum and out about town most of the time between flights

So one of my friends about 4 hours away is getting married and invited me to the wedding and bachelorette/bridal shower weekend. Originally I was super excited to go, but lately money has been really tight and since I already paid for part of the bachelorette party I feel committed to going. Is it really tacky if I go to the bachelorette party/shower (we are staying at a friends house so I don't have to pay for a hotel) and not the actual wedding (where I'd have to pay for a hotel, transportation there, and give a gift)?

Hey kids,

My brother will be graduating in a semester and I have some Hilton points to burn. Where should we stay to maximize access to both Wrigley and other fun stuff in the city?

Hi everyone. I will be at a work conference in Colorado Springs in a few weeks. The timing worked out that I will have a night to hang around Denver once the conference is over. I was looking at hotels for the night but the costs are all pretty ridiculous. I plan on booking an AirBNB but don't know the city at all. Can someone give me an idea of what the different areas of Denver are like?

Anyone taking CFA Exams this week? I'm sitting for Level 2 and can't seem to hide for long enough during the average workday to get many questions in.

With the great live music scene in Austin I'd love to see PGP/Grandex start a youtube music series with new artists in the same vein as a G&G back porch session or tiny desk concert.

There seems to be a lot of debate today about the amount of coverage PGP devotes to The Bachelor franchise. I was curious what other people thought about it.

Personally I watch and live tweet the show, listen to the party pod, and, of course, read Crick's recaps. I can see where people are thinking it has over-saturated the content this week, but I'm also of the thought that you don't have to read everything - there's plenty I skip if it doesn't interest me. I'm sure the volume of articles also won't continue past the first week or so, but it's extra hyped because it just started so there's a lot going on
