Any billionaires on here who want to give me like five million dollars

I have an expiring British Airways credit I need to use in January or February. Options are Lisbon, Paris, Rome and Athens. Anyone have thoughts on any of those in the winter/off season?

I'm coming from the US - my flight credit is use-it-or-lose-it so I'm trying not to spend much more than the original credit.

Tax Senior Manager and Bowl Creator have thrown out WPF, SVOK, and AVAN recently. With these all barely above $10 (and SVOK actually temporarily below), what’s the downside to investing in these? Am I missing something? Don’t they offer you the opportunity to sell back the shares at $10 around the merge date? So max loss would be $0.12 per share on WPF (at current pricing) and $0.19 per share on AVAN?

Are there other SPAC plays that people like that seem like no brainers at these levels?

How do you help client's figure out how much life insurance is the right amount?

Closing on my first home. Advice for anyone with student loans in administrative forbearance per the Cares act: once your offer is accepted have you student loan servicer put your account back in repayment status.

Accounts in forbearance, even administrative forbearance, are calculated at a higher monthly payment by the underwriter.

My fictitious debt to income ratio was too high for them to approve me, and it took seven days for my loan to be officially back in repayment. So just a heads up.

I recently received an offer for 200k€ in Amsterdam. Includes travel, 30% ruling, holiday pay.

Any idea if that is enough to cover a mortgage on a flat within biking distance from the city center without over spending on housing?

Is it worth moving to western countries if you have a stable life in India and the household income is close to 3 lac per month?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of this move?

I’m leaving my job soon but I’m wondering if I should be truthful when I hand in my letter of resignation. There’s a ton of reasons but it boils down to: I’m worth more than they can pay me and I need to pay off these student loans. What should I say?

Anyone been able to work from Dubai for a UK/US firm and benefit from no taxes? I know if you are a US citizen you pay taxes where you are globally, but if you are British, then you only pay income tax on UK income - so if you live more than half the year abroad you are classed as non-domicile resident, but wanted to hear if anyone’s done this or heard about it?

Pro tip: live close to poorer people to feel rich. The feelings of wealth are extremely subjective and is mainly based on comparison

This isn’t relating to investing but we are looking buy a SFH in South Orange NJ. We are have a 2 yo and we are moving from Sacramento. It is a close to a train station to New York.
Does any one here have any info, good or bad things to know about the area. We toured 3 different homes and they were relatively affordable by (600-750k) and it seemed like a small town community but we are not familiar with east coast/ New England. It’s going to be our first move there.

If I see one more article on how millennials are ruining the economy or housing market by not buying enough homes or selling enough homes I'm going to scream. We were saving for 3 years before Covid and had to use a solid chunk to take care of ourselves and our families during quarantine. Now that we're ready to save again inflation and COL are at an all-time high and we're headed into a recession. And somehow this is my fault for what...not being a boomer? Bffr.

Thoughts on SPY $240p for 5/4? Keep or sell? Already at -51% , the dip today did not make a dent at all

Noob question - bought a call debit spread 195/197.50. PayPal is at 199 today - if I hold till expiration I get the 250 correct? Or can I exercise it now and get the 250?

I'm a masochist. PRQ tied up a ton of my assets during the last run up in early 2021 while crabbing and dumped just as bad as other alts in May. I just heard whispers of a big cex listing and put some money back into it. 😬

Anyone in the foothills? Wife and I moved to CO last year and bought a home in Conifer. Love it up here, but would be great to meet some peers!

Does anyone think there is long-term viability in Cryptos?

How would you approach an interview process where the company sounds exciting but you feel confident the role would not be a growth opportunity for your skill set? Is there a good way to respectfully approach that topic with the interview team and find a role that might be more exciting for you? Or is it better to walk away?

Got an interview for a business system analyst role, does anyone here know what that career track can like? What could I do after a few years in that role?

Does TCS offer stock as part of bonus ?
Can employees (associates) purchase TCS stock?

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore? I’ve been at my (smaller) agency almost 5yrs and got one raise (a nice $12k bump) during that time—is that sufficient? Is one increase in that span normal? I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.

I’m struggling at the moment to gauge how much I should be getting paid in my position as i feel I’m heavily underpaid for the work I do, which includes managing digital marketing operations across 12+ countries, manage the studio/creatives plus lead on any campaigns and strategies, etc. I’m also remote UK-based although my company is international. So what do you feel a fair UK wage would be for the role? I love my job/team but the stress isn’t worth it for me atm. Thanks in advance!

Currently an EM at McKinsey, joined as a lateral hire after 6yrs in consulting (strategy boutique) and a short stint at a lesser known PE firm. What prospects would I have pivoting back to PE?

Going for a final round interview with OW Dubai. Can anyone share their experience?

Hi all, my name is Alex and I just joined the bowl :)
Im graduating in may with a BS in Industrial Engineering. Ive also held a Data Analyst Internship for 1 year with a small construction company. Anyone have advice where this combination of education and experience would make me most competitive in terms of roles/companies?

Sometimes I don't uphold the company mission 😱

Found out that global CEO is a Trump supporter. Was approached by an ex-client who wants to do a side project for the LGBT community, but had to turn it down because of that. Mixed feelings. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I can do my job better than 87 percent of the people who have my job title. Maybe 88 percent. Still unemployed

Anyone else’s boss make them work until 630 on a Friday every single week? Please save me.

When you think you have made a mistake in life, when you have regrets, be gentle with yourself. Remember that you have the power to make choices. I've learned a lot about this from my friend...

Client killed 8 months of work just a few days before the shoot. Feeling completely crushed.

Since disconnecting with past stories my reality has drastically bent. My stories programmed my reality, attracting what I told myself I was/wasn't.

Parents - do any of you truly regret having kids?

I was late to an interview.

I’m type A, never late, certainly not to an interview. I called & sent an email as soon as I knew I would be delayed. They had me come in anyway. Am I totally screwed?

First day back after a 10-day beach stint. Putting on pants was hard enough.

I’m 30. My friends’ weddings are piling up and I’m just... still very much single. Feel like it’s acceptable in NYC but also sorta depressing. Dating is hard.

Does anyone really, really love their job? Or do you just do it to pay bills and get to the weekend? I'm curious how many people actually truly love what they do

This open office plan sucks. Besides the constant din, we've got 3 agencies crammed on to one floor, sharing conference rooms and huddle rooms. Agency identity is lost and it feels like an ad factory

I’m tired of the arrogance and male techno-superiority. Where are the humans with feelings, vulnerability, joy in all of this?

I am stupidly rejecting recruiters with legit offers because I am waiting for The One. The offer to end all offers. But they are taking entirely too long to notify me. They keep telling me to hold on.

I absolutely HATE third party recruiters. They continuously waste my time, always slice my rate in half, and have never have solidified a project for me — PLEASE GO AWAY!

ahhhh.. I feel better now 💆🏻‍♂️

Getting sober has made me realize how bad my boss really is.

I am not ok.

People always compliment how soft my skin is, I honestly think it’s because I don’t shower daily so I never have to use lotion and my skin has a natural oil balance. I usually shower every other day or every 2 days. Unless I sweat or get dirty… Showering everyday is such an advertising concept, a whole industry is built on it, but we were not meant to shower every single day, 50 years ago most people didn’t

Hello! I just got promoted, but I can’t tell anyone yet bc I have to wait for it to be announced company wide. But I’m so excited, I could burst. So instead, take this anonymous confession and let’s celebrate!
