Anyone have a contrarian opinion on a trend / investment theme going on in the private investing world, particularly tech investing? Feels like everything is painted in the “huge growing market with tons of white space” lens.

Hi Fishes,

I have previously worked for Reliance Jio, couldn't withdraw my PF money. How can I get that now ?

Does anyone use the Alight Smart Connect FSA at your firm? My client is struggling with them- apparently their FSA MasterCard has a majority of transactions declined, even co-pays, unless it is at a national company like CVS or Walgreens. Curious if anyone else has the same experience or if this is potentially a setup issue.

I make ~150K & get 8K per month net.

Assuming I have 3K rent + 1K for (car + insurance) + 1K for (grocery + utilities + misc expenses), I’m left with 3K/month saving which is 36K/yr.

If I decide to buy a 1M house/townhouse/apartment, I’ll need to put down 200K deposit which will take ~5-6 years - IS THIS NORMAL?

Just curious if your crypto dives in value 80%, how will you feel? And for those of you who have significant holdings ($20k+) what would be the catalyst for you closing your position?

Finance lawyers, I’m a mid level suffering from imposter syndrome. While I generally understand financial covenants, it recently occurred to me that I have no clue WHY certain ones are included, or how they’re calculated. Like, why EBITDA instead of EBITDAX? DSCR or liquidity? Do I even know what I’m talking about?? Any good resources you’d recommend?

Hey guys anyone living in Abu Dhabi, can you please tell approx cost for 2 living in a 1 bhk apartment?? Is 8k aed sufficient for monthly expense?

Wife and I (about 33 year old) are immigrants working in Seattle on work visa and have 1 infant. Our combined household income is $450k with no debt and about $500k in savings (cash, stocks, 401k all inclusive). We are looking to buy a house but quite confused as to what should be our budget. Any suggestions on where to draw the line on how much to spend will be super helpful.

Engaged, and beginning to do joint retirement planning. I’move got IRAs, 401ks, the usual. My fiancé says she’s never opened an IRA because her parents started a program for her under New York life. Went to the website and it seems like it’s completely different - some annuities, some life insurance that you can withdraw early (?). Anyone ever go this route or have insight into it?

We're aiming to live long enough to spend it all. If we die younger there is a substantial estate and only nieces and nephews. I have three topics that I'm requesting your thoughts on before I engage an attorney;

Anyone made redundant noticed their P45 tax code as 0T? What to do to change it to 1250L? Started a new job and ended up paying more tax as they have used 0T as the code from the P45.

Hey Big 4 Partners, given independence constraints, I assume you buy investment properties. do you believe this to be superior to buying stocks, and what do you do to educate yourself in this process?

Any advice for a failed designer who needs to pivot? I want to be a copywriter at a digital agency. Unsure what to do in the meantime.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.

Recently lost your job due to the pandemic? Post what you do and what your looking for so people can see you! Let’s help each other out.

I learnt digital Marketing and started Interning at this Media House in Mumbai.
I am in the Paid Media Team. They paid 7k as stipend. Now they gave me an offer letter as Media Executive, the role of client coordination and basically a beginner account Manager.
But they've offered a monthly salary of 12k. They said the max they can do is 15k.
The problem here is, I was under the impression that Media houses generally pay higher, but 15k is too less I believe.
I want to know your real thoughts
