Looks like it. Funny we come here to find answers like this. I'm trying to use it as well and get the Unknown Error Occured message.

Next time tell the scheduler that you can accept it if they can help you get there. They have given me positive space to get there.....at least for an out of base GS. Don't know about in base but it doesn't hurt to ask!

Ultimately, I'm trying to figure out if you can fully-fund two Roth IRAs ($11,000) for the calendar year via a tax-free input, and then if you'd be taxed on the remainder at the nominal rate.
IF you can still put into your ROTH, it's post tax and advised because generally your tax bill will go up in the future and you will soon make too much money to put into a ROTH.

I've gotten PS to base for inbase GS more than a few times, just depends on how bad they need you. Once I just hesitated saying yes to a GS and the sched says "are you coming from your home" and I said yes, then he said can you be at your airport in 1.5 hrs, I said yes, he said then PS boom, done. I didn't even get a chance to ask.

That's the best cause then you commute right into a sign in, no wasted time!

But don't quote me on that. I recommend researching to confirm. Also. If you're over the 185K you can "backdoor" into a Roth IRA. Talk to a financial advisor.
Cue the backdoor jokes.
Don't have a backdoor joke yet, it's about a week early....

Just pointing out that the backdoor ROTH doesn't work if you have a previously deducted IRA in your name already (either transferred or through contributions). This is because the IRS uses all your IRA balances when converting IRA contributions to a ROTH, so even after tax ones go in proportionally with the tax deferred ones, thereby preventing most of the backdoor.

Just figured out though that the remaining rollover IRA that was tax deferred can be transferred into an old company plan and that will allow my deductible IRA balance to go back to 0 which will re-allow the ROTH backdoor to resume.

Wow, what a wonderfully complicated tax system we have.

I'm amazed by the accuracy and thoroughness of the financial advice. Luv, you can't possibly be an airline pilot.

Sorry. This was the best I could find. Is an eye test part of the interview? :-)

Just a matter of time until they bring this one back.

Thx for the thought. And thanks for the clip. I could use a some humor right now.
Makes me want to watch the movie again.

Answer: If "10" is in the lower left corner and "11" is in the upper right corner when you select "10" it will change to a different number but "11" which will be the next one to select will still be in the upper right corner. So you can "predict" where the next box will be. It goes the same when you get to the alphanumeric sequence. So you select "a" in the upper right with "1" in the upper left. After you select "a" you will select "1" so you already know that your next selection position after the upper right is the upper left. However the bottom two positions and the position selected may/will change.

Practice in the instructions until you are comfortable before going on to the test. It is much easier to understand after doing the practice a couple times. And don't get frustrated if you hear the "sad sound" when you make a mistake on some of the tests. It's amazing how two notes can effect your mood.
Hey, man, THANKS! Pls check your PMs.

This.

I practiced on one of the tests at least 10 times until I was sure. After all was done, I went to the proctor to apologize for how many times I asked for a reset and he laughed. He said he didn't care if somebody asked him 100 times to reset. He would do it until someone came in to tell everyone to go home. Like everything else on your interview, this is big. Make sure you're comfortable before proceeding.
10 times? Awesome! Nice to know they won't get beaked if you need a few more practice runs! Probably will need a couple, like on the slider/teeter-totter thing when you do the "same/different".

Waldo, yeah, I watched it numerous times but the clip is too short to see if where he moves to is actually some kind of a repeatable pattern. Thx for all your help, guys!

Can you clarify for me? I hear people say this a lot, but I was under the impression a GS isn't a proffer(i.e. if they call and you answer its yours). How can you answer a GS call and tell them only if you help get me there? Isn't it on you regardless at that point?
