Anyone interested in having a meetup in NYC in April and exchange our FIRE experience?

For those who use via fairly often: do you tip your via drivers?

How’s the pay and WLB at the corporate finance/IB subsidiaries of the big 4 compared to traditional MM IBs?

McLean or Dallas? (no family ties or other bias to either)

Any tips for how to better implement feedback on drafts? My work is so heavily redlined that I struggle to consistently follow through with every comment/feedback. I am in patent prosecution, so it is a lot of detailed technical writing, but is also fairly formulaic, which is nice. Thankfully the partner I work with is extremely patient and a very good teacher, I would just like to be better at learning from his very thorough feedback.

Feeling like my life is racing by being on the road 20 years, and saddens me that when I get home tonight my SO leaves on a business trip.

Is there another bigger bowl for all IBm employees ? Can anyone please share the link ?

What is the work culture and opportunities at CBA for a Salesforce developer @commonwealthbank

Can anyone share the salary structure who works remotely for the US, UK or any other foreign company?

Interested to see whether we get the same tax and other benefits as we do get in local jobs like car allowance, medical insurance, internet allowance etc.

Have interviews coming up for McKinsey- any suggestions on how to prepare? Also if someone would like to case me?

Hello all!

I have my final interview which is a 1-hour presentation this week for an AE role. Any tips please? Thanks!

We've started doing basic check-ins on patients through ipads, particularly for small stuff. Good way to preserve PPE

Best way to get an interview as experienced hire at other big 4

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

How’s Salesforce market for a senior technical architect with 12 years of experience? Which city is best and what salary to expect in US?

Can a company apply for an h1b transfer if I’m not in the country ? Im planning to travel internationally and expecting the h1b transfer process to be initiated the same time…

This is gonna sound stupid, but I’m honest - I can’t do math. Calculating a tip is as advanced as I get. Thank god for excel formulas and a math savvy husband. At the end of the day, I pay all the bills (I know- but I’m more organized) and make double his salary, what low stress effort (on my limited math capacity brain) can I do to increase wealth?

I feel like I should be doing more with extra money to help us financially, but I’m scared of having to study stocks and understand the numbers. 😖

Anyone here from NYC? Be cool if there was a meetup.

How do you invest and save for your children? I’m thinking about setting them up with custodial brokerage accounts but don’t want them to have a heyday at 18. Did you create irrevocable trusts or?? They are too young for earned income and I don’t own a business so no IRA investing opportunities here.

Question about what to do next. I’ve maxed out everything—401k, HSA, IRA, backdoor Roth 401k. My bills are all paid. I’ll probably make about 16,500 more this year to do stuff with (ie money that isn’t going to taxes or insurance or anything). What should I do with it? Crypto? Set it on fire? Get a hair transplant?

Turning 28 and hit $300K NW today. Never formally FIRE’d but want to set out a plan for here onwards. What’s some good material / easy reading to start with?

Thoughts on potential business ideas or investment opportunities where I can live the life I deserve now and not in retirement? I’m always trying to think of potential business ideas and come up with nothing. As far as interests, it doesn’t matter what it is. As long as it makes money I’m interested.

I consolidated grad loans in ‘15, kept federal separate from private (w SoFi @6.75%). Can I refinance w SoFi or w Earnest? Should I combine the federal and lose the protections for better %?

Is anyone else worried about an upcoming market crash, similar to the dot com bubble?

Just watched office space again and realized it’s actually about the FIRE movement (without explicitly saying it)

Any good ideas to keep your day job and start a business that allows for enough freedom to take taxable income from 350k to 0?

I'm a Canadian on the TN visa working in the US and planning on maxing my Roth IRA (6k) and will have enough left to max my 401k this year, but am not sure if I should just use a taxable account over 401k due to tax considerations when I move back to Canada (likely 1-2 years from now). Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.

What is your socioeconomic background and how much NW do you consider “enough” to be able to live comfortably?

For any real estate investors

22 years old and currently focused on using my left over income to invest and pay off my debt. I am set to pay off my college loans by next year and, when I do, I want to look into investing into real estate. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get into/learn more about real estate investing? Or how I can have enough knowledge on the topic to be able to invest wisely when the time comes?

Any books? youtubers? etc. How did you all learn about it?

I would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense? I’m guessing it could take me to 170ish with that schools I’m looking at but wondering if the 40-50 retirement range makes an mba not make sense since I’d only have 10-20 years to save vs 12-22.

Would have to finance the whole thing myself. Current net worth is 140k. Thoughts?

What is your savings rate for the year?
I am saving 66% of my take home pay and I’m pretty satisfied with it.

Does anyone pursuing FIRE actually like their current job? Trying to get a grasp of how much of the FIRE movement is driven by escapism from unfulfilling work.

I’ve been reading a lot of FIRE books lately and want somewhere to discuss. What are the biggest takeaways from your FIRE journey/ research?

Which is the best brokerage to get into Pre-IPO?
