I had a first interview last Tuesday with Amazon, which I think went well, although I still haven't heard back 6 days later and then got an OOO annual leave msg and a no response when I chased up the named colleague today. Is this typical behaviour others have experienced when dealing with the big tech company recruiters? I found Google and Facebook recruiters to be efficient and TikTok so-so, if not a little slow, but 6 days+ seems poor.

Could you Please DM me if any one working in AMAT


Thanks in advance

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!

Are there net worth checkpoints at which you should be adjusting your investment strategy (either motivated by taxes or returns)? If so, what are they and why? Not thinking for the super wealthy rather the average 🐟. Disregard the natural progression to less risky assets as you get closer to retirement. Just thinking more in line of "I now have $400k liquid, I should be doing x instead of y." Thanks

I was excited to cut cost and save but my townhouse HOA fees will be increasing significantly in 2022 (60%) to cover some land repairs in the community. We got this house in Dec last year. Did see mentions of land/wall repairs in the HOA document but was told by the agent that it’s extremely uncommon for the fees to increase by even 5%. The HOA tried passing this plan last year but couldn’t collect enough votes to proceed. This time around, the homeowners close to the land/wall are lobbing to ..
