Alix partners, can anyone share the 401k match or any other retirement benefits please?

In a 50% marginal tax bracket. Feeling demotivated to chase any future raises. Government is going to take half anyways. Effort reward just isn't there anymore.

Is it worth buying a BTC now or should I wait longer?

Hey guys, Im 25 and I have about 35k in the bank, 21k in retirement, 41k personal invested, 5k in crypto. No debt. Is it smart to invest more during this down market or save for a house/wedding or something else that’s smarter?

Hey fishes.
There has been a lot of hype for Data Scientist and Machine Learning Engineer.
Peoples saying that we can easily retire at 40 being in such roles. Could someone please share the range of salaries, asking out of curiosity 🙂

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.

Do we have to pay zakaat on 401k and other pension plan investments?

I just got PwC health insurance and is it true that I’ll have to pay for doctors visit? With no option to just pay a co pay?

I am classified as an agent selling health insurance but there’s a private email I recently gained access to showing the company is using my broker license and I suspected that since I’m the agent of record on a lot of business. They pay for everything including leads but I’m working as an agent in one email whereas there’s another showing I’m using my license as a broker. I get $43,000 salary plus commissions so averaging $80 K a year. Any advice?

Should I get a new real estate agent? I feel like she isn't really listening to me, because she keeps showing me houses that are not anything like what I'm looking for; but it feels rude to replace her because she's taken me to three different homes

Good morning friends, I’m currently working in a clinical healthcare role but want to transition into change mgmt (healthcare). How could I bolt onto a change mgmt engagement as an assistant or facilitator? I’m near the end of an unpaid volunteer role in an OD engagement and it has worked great because it requires low hours of work while still providing me with experience. Does anyone know of similar opportunities? All input is appreciated!

What eft or stocks are you holding in your 401k?

Lots of 2-year-old posts here talking about their uncertainty of buying a home or investment property. I hope you did! Looking to buy my first flip in the next couple months, does anyone have any advice on flipping vs renting? My original plan was to flip and buy rentals while keeping my capital base up with my flip homes and slowly building my rental portfolio. Any thoughts on this?

Need advice on buying my first home. I recently moved to Canada and like living in downtown city vibes. I’m looking for a 2Bed and really confused if putting all my savings and 60% of salary towards mortgage payments for 1.2M condos is worth it. Does it make sense to buy condos with all those monthly fees and live in city or buy a house around GTA for much less ? Which is better from an appreciation and resale point of view ?

Has anyone heard of Steadily Landlord insurance?

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?

I have an opportunity working for my dream company but I was told my salary expectations were too high. I was using my last job as a reference since this is a lateral move (I was laid off a few weeks ago). Was I overpaid or is this company just cheap?

Former TC: ~140k (125k base + 30k sign-on paid over 2 years + 50k RSUs w/4 years to vest)

YOE: 5+ years total; 2 years as PM

I need to maximize my savings next year. Any tips for solid investments?

Getting ready to study for the CAMS exam. Do I need anything extra besides just studying the study guide and practice exam over and over. I’ve read online about people using AML assassin; is it worth it?

Anyone tried the new Sanctions Certificate (CGSS) offered by ACAMS? Trying to see how difficult it is considering I don't have a lot of experience with sanctions compliance. I have CAMS & work in AML

CBV vs CFF Vs CFE as additional professional designations to CPA pros and cons?

We hiring that girl from a law firm as a Manager in forensic with no experience (and no CPA or CFE). How do you think I should react? I am 2Y SC on my way to Manager this year

I’d like to work for the FBI either as a Special Agent or Professional Staff as a Forensic Accountant. I am currently a Senior Forensic Accountant at a public accounting firm but we mainly handle commercial damage calculations, business valuations, and SOME investigations that one might think of as “was there fraud? We’re not sure, please Mr. Forensic Accountant can you take a look at our QBs?”
Question: is this experience preferable to the FBI? Or do they prefer the AML professionals? CPA + CFE

Just began studying for the CFE exam. I have access to past editions of the ACFE Fraud Examiners Manual. Does anyone have recommendations on where to get good practice questions? I’d like to avoid spending a fortune on the ACFE kit.

Hi Fishies!

Is anyone hiring for senior level roles for forensic data analytics?

Applied for a B4 senior forensic role, but was not even granted an interview after my initial phone screen with HR; I’m confused why because i thought they needed bodies. My background includes 4 years of forensic experience on multiple investigations and program oversights, 5 years in other professional, non-forensic roles, and i have both a CFE and a CPA under my belt. The phone screen was basically HR asking if i have used google suite and tableau

Are there firms out there that focus on plaintiff-side litigation or investigating corporates with the intent to find wrongdoing rather than protecting them? Or is that exclusive to government work? I feel like a lot of forensics is in support of the bad guys…

Are there forensics firm that doesn’t do federal claims work?

Can anyone provide some guidance to taking the CFE? As in which membership option to choose from followed by when exactly can we take the exam, if the entire amount is reimbursed or not? Just a generic timeline and additional required info. Don’t want to sign up yet if the exam dates are not flexible. Thank you.

Anybody work for ZeroHash??? Had a interview for a Surveillance Analyst and can’t really find any reviews from employers.

Cram studying for CFE. Is it recommended to study for one test and take one at a time, or study for all and take the 4 on the same day?

Do you consider dispute advisoru( litigation consulting) more finance or accounting?

For those who have obtained the CFF certification:
I was asked to put together a working plan to obtain my CFF credential. I’m aware of the 2 certificate program (Core and Specialized) through the AICPA that will lead to the CFF. Does anyone have experience in how long it would take to complete the certificates and if there are other necessary or helpful study materials that would be useful? For background, I’m 6 months into working at this firm and have touched a variety of cases.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
