Taxes suck

It sucks! Which state OP? I am in CA..and it's worse😰

NYC

It only gets worse from this point... More taxes more taxes more taxes... Salary hike is a myth

Should I expect my tax return to less this year too?

OP it did for me last year after I got my H1B... Just gonna say don't make big plans with your future tax returns.. You might be disappointed

E1, How big of a decrease was it?

Welcome to America!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Ugh I don't want to pay for stupid SSN and Medicare

OP, your tax returns are huge only when you're on the student visa (which I assume you were on, before H1b kicked in) after that you're fucked.

Sorry for the multiple replies, my brain is kinda slow today. I would like to add that till oct you were non H1b, so that might save you a bit.

Thanks for the insight, D1... At least now I know what to prepare for... UGH I'm so f'd😩

You haven't been paying SS and FICA.

My salary increased $7500 and I was actually getting $400 less each month

Exploring finance roles (program finance, FP&A) in the Northern VA / DC area (HCOL) after 9 YOE as an active duty financial management officer. I am usually being offered senior financial analyst roles at about the $120K mark.

Does this sound like a reasonable entry point and salary or can I reach for higher?

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
