All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down. Think the people in this industry need to take time to volunteer or engage with some tougher parts of town and understand that by virtue of even having investment accounts, that they’re more financially safe than at least 50% of America. Sad to see

Can I get some real helpful guidance here?

Current finances:
-75k in the market (VTI,QQQ, ETFs and stocks)
-20k in Emergency find /Cash
-30k in Roth(maxing since 2019)
-60k in 401k (maxing since 2019

I don’t got much money expenses and wanted to know where to put my money during this market for the next couple months. Is it smart to DCA? Put limit orders in? Just hold cash?

Additional info:
-minimal rent / expenses (~1000/mo)
- started HSA this year
-130k, 3 YOE

Hello!

Any advice on how to request a 20% raise? This is my first career out of college. I signed my offer letter knowing that I was being underpaid by 10%, as per the posted position salary. My 1-year appraisal is close and I would like to request 20% based on an increased workload; I would also like to make up for being underpaid my first year.

My dilemma: Many companies only pay up to a 4% raise. However, that will not cover much in this economy, and I would still be still underpaid.

MBB AP about to exit to non-FAANG tech. Would you expect a signing bonus and/or pre-determined severance pay if things don't work out with the new company? Anything else that people have negotiated during their exit? I'd be leaving a large amount of bonus on the table to leave before the end of the year.

Ive seen Jr Engagement Manager, Expert, Jr Principal and can't make sense of it from the outside.

Does your firm form leadership group trainings? We usually do every summer but we are starting one these last 2 months. We usually read books or watch something and then discuss. If you do them, do you think they are effective?

looking for guidance on purchasing books of business. Succession Link has proved fruitless. Are their introducing brokers/consultants that can guide us? We are looking for any size book, in the Midwest.

My company has grown from 50 to 200, and my impact as an HR leader needs to grow from IC activities (recruiter, hr ops person) to.....hr leader. Any tips on doing that (and doing it well?)

I have been on a planned personal sabbatical this year pursuing personal interests. Now I’m ready to go back to work. I will have next week the second interview with an exec recruiter for a company for a Director level position reporting to the COO of the company. In addition to having relevant experience and accomplishments handy, I would appreciate any pointers for having a good interview at this level.

Hey, so I was offered a CDP position as an analyst in Accenture starting this fall, but today I just found out I got the Fulbright scholarship to be an ETA in Thailand for a year. It’s an honor of course, and I’m thinking about asking my recruiter if I could delay my Accenture start date for a year. Would it be worth it to do so? Is it even possible?

Currently interviewing and have been rejected by a lot of companies. This is either because I failed some assessment of theirs or fucked up their interview. I feel rejected and super depressed.. Any advice?

I'm a fresh grad and I thought this would be my dream job... I became the 3rd team member in this location and the regional team leader helped me understand and learned a lot... Until about 4 months down the line, he announced to quit. It's about half of year now since I started to feel ever so alone, hopeless and helpless in the team. The actual work is within my capability, but takes me ages to learn coz the overall team is not so collaborative and lacks communication... Maybe I need anew job

does dating or social apps work or are we all fearful of each other?

I was about to talk trash about my truck driving friends and blame them for my heatwave related problems. Then I remembered that I drive an SUV, not zero emission, and I'm not doing much better for the environment than they are. I'll just ask them what if the climate change believers are right and see what they say.

Several years ago a gay male acquaintance said he didn't date Black guys. It made me bristle but I was not surprised. Now he's married to one. I feel in a way vindicated every time I see his loving social media posts with his Black husband of like 5 years or so now.

How did he get over his apparent aversion to Black men enough to go and marry one? Where would he be if he hadn't had a change of heart?

I wish there were a tactful way to remind him he said that and watch as he eats his words...

I don’t like Chicago. It seems that I will have to move to Chicago in the fall. How do I survive this

Am I going crazy? I feel like my close friend is always trying to “one up” me in conversation. Any time I make a point, they will go out of their way to prove I’m wrong with some sort of stat or evidence. It’s like they need to have the last say.

They try to make me look bad at times without noticing. I don’t know how to approach this as we are all in a pretty tight friend group.

How old were you when you first took a blue pill/viagra? Currently 26 and a buddy doesn’t stop raving about it, tempted but feels too young to try?

PSA, you can transfer your car loan to an interest free credit card. Got 18 months interest free with BOA and a 20k credit limit. Transferred my car loan and I am no longer paying interest

The only reason I ever pursued casual sex (a couple times when I was 17-19) was to not get my heart broken. It always sucked and was so boring. I don’t understand when people say they want sex with no emotions. It’s the best part.

I have to keep reminding myself that I don't need validation from certain people. It's hard.

Hello fam! Hope you’ll are enjoying your Sunday!

I faked my resume I mean my contracting firm did and I didn’t have choice and I got the job. Now my client wants to offer me a full time position. I kind of feel like they trust me with the work I’m doing and also considering my past experiences to offer me a full time and moreover it’s only been 3 months.

I know it’s a little unusual but what do you guys think/suggest me to do in this situation?!

Has anyone else hit the airplane mode button on their laptop when they get asked a hard question by the client they simply cannot answer. Hoping someone else will answer while I get "reconnected".

I was tired of asking people to go to concerts with me so I booked 5 of them to go by myself, starting next month. Hope I’m gonna have a blast

Who let the dogs out??????

When I’m in a heated argument with someone close to me, I want to isolate from them and can be perceived as giving the silent treatment or being short. But on the inside, I go through sad thoughts such as feeling like my presence is a burden, that I’m an annoyance, and dont want to bother you again by reminding you of my presence, and would rather leave you alone😢.

Guys I got my first badgeeeeeeeeee
