I had finance as a sort of throw in team I supported. Not much, then the pandemic hit. We dealt with lots of retailers so a ton of bankruptcy issues (letters of credit, deposit agreements, trying to avoid preference payment claw backs). It was all new to me but interesting. Add in some collection issues and pre-litigation letter writing and you have yourself a random mix. There can also be tax and audit questions and some overlap with SOX compliance if you are publicly traded.

How big is your company?

Depends what you support. Most should be straightforward and like working with any other team, finance isn't rocket science.

Kind of depends on how leveraged your company is, whether your company is investment grade or not, or if your company is active in the derivatives market. I worked for companies where it was a full time job and companies where it was a part time job.

Recalling my first onboarding meeting in-house with the c - suite. Thinking back now recalling that they would often mention if someone they are referring to is a woman.

They did not mention when someone performing a particular role was a man but they did point out when it's a woman, happened about four times. Odd, no? What would you make of this?

I'm a noob with bonds, can someone break down ibonds for me in idiot proof language?

Per what I'm reading the interest rate is 9.62% if I buy through Oct 2022. It's a 30 year investment, but I can withdraw after 5 years without 3 month penalty.

Questions:
(1) Is the interest rate fixed or variable over the term of the bond?
(2) Assuming 9.62% is annual return but definitely want to confirm 🤣
(3) Do most people actually keep it in 30 years? I'm looking at 5 years for now and re-assess

I’m currently at a medium sized tech startup. I was interviewing for a role that would be a bump in pay and title at a multinational public F50 company. At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so.
