What should my requested salary be for a Senior Intelligence Analyst position with CrowdStrike ? I have a bachelors degree and 5 years of experience as an intelligence analyst. Current salary is 56k in NC, but when I was in DC I was making 86k (big locality change)… which makes me confused on what I should expect for a remote job.
Hi all,
I joined KPMG around 3 months ago but I am not getting work here. Although, I qualified some project's interview, yet due to some internal reason, they considered someone else, and I again came on bench.
I am unable to figure out what can be done now.
Should I start searching work outside.
(I hardly see any job openings these days)

How's the resource management here?
(do they lagOff?)
Any inputs will be helpful.
Thanks!

Just buy VTI
Borrowing against 20k? So you'll get 10k? Doesn't sound worth it

No. Most of us just buy the Index.
The beauty of this is we will get our share of the winners automatically.
S&P 500 does the heavy work for you. It’s always the top 500 companies.
Most managed funds don’t outperform an index. They spend millions of dollars on the best analysts and still aren’t beating the average. What makes you think you can be smarter than a managed fund?
No because I index fund and chill

No, I never get fatigue from trying to pick stocks. I just buy and hold the global index.

I mostly just index, both domestic and international ETFs. I own a few stocks with a small portion of my portfolio, but these are ones I have thoroughly researched and believe in the long term story. I don't have time for more than maybe 2 of those, hence I mostly index. There is nothing wrong with matching the overall returns of the associated markets.
Buying individual stocks is like starting a company. You only do it when you have the knowledge to recognize a great opportunity before anyone else. When you do, you tend to go all in given the level of assurance you have to do such a thing.
This should be, by nature, a rare event in life.
When you’re not aware of such opportunities, you either stay in VOO or bonds until you find one.
