Am I stupid for doing a Roth 401(k) instead of a regular 401k during my BigLaw stint? I'm risk-averse and just love the idea of never having to pax taxes on whatever grows in that account.

Girlfriend got into med school at BU. She will be coming from Chicago. Limited budget but I was just wondering if anybody had any tips for the Boston market besides working with brokers as that’s not showing results. She’s looking south end area.

Skip the pre-tax 401k in favor of mega Backdoor Roth? Thoughts?

Rationale is building up a tax advantaged nest egg for retirement and then using brokerage for more med term goals (5-8 years). I can afford to pay taxes now and compounding benefit is high.

Income ‘22,190k. ‘23, 295k. Age 26

I would be capturing company match with either 401k contribution. I wouldn’t be maxing out mega Backdoor, probably about 25-30k. Want to put another 50k in brokerages

So I just started at a new company about 5 months ago. I’m already looking to leave. My boss should not be in the director of HR role she in, she does not have the experience for it. She was put into that role because the prior director left and she was the senior most person on the team. I’m also not connecting with anyone on my team. I don’t feel fulfilled or happy here. Should I be leaving so soon? I assume if I do apply to other places, my short tenure here will be a red flag. Thoughts?

Which city in the US is best for spotting luxury cars/supercars?

Started dating a girl- she’s got her shit together and to be honest, could probably do better than me. I thin she’s still dating other people - we have plans for tomorrow and I wanted to decide what we would do. she just told me that she can’t talk because she’s having dinner with a ‘friend’ and her phone is about to die. Don’t want to jump to conclusions but seems like a date

Guy I am dating for last 3 months asked me to attend Mother’s Day lunch/dinner with his whole family. I haven’t met any one of them on a 1-1. While I am somewhat comfortable with him, I am an introvert and don’t like to be around groups of people. We usually spend a weekend night together. However, after I gently said no and told him I d feel comfy to first meet his family members 1-1, he seemed to be a little aloof and left early. I like the guy a lot. We aren’t at the typical marriageable age

Which is good to join..Publicis sapient or LTI?

Currently working at AM100 firm as a 7th yr litigation associate. The goal is to go in-house but haven't had a lot of luck getting past the first or second round of interviews. I have an offer for an in-house contract position (12-18 months) working on a project that's heavily regulatory and would require a lot of work drafting policies and procedures. Any thoughts on whether a contract position might be worth taking to get the experience I need for a real in-house job?

I had a baby a few months ago. I’m currently at a midsize regional firm with 1750 billables and $140k salary, that does not allow regular WFH. I’m considering lateraling to a firm that would be 1900 billables (with 200 “development” hours on top of that) but potentially allow full WFH and the salary would be at least $50k higher.

Any advice on deciding between the two? My thinking is that the WFH and higher salary would make up for the higher billables, but I go back and forth.

Partners, senior associates - why do you phrase things as “what about this? Why havent we done this?” Isnt it obviously bc nobody thought about it?
