Yes absolutely. But aren’t you at an advantage if you’re an attractive person in general?

In my industry we have a healthy skepticism for anyone that looks a little too polished haha.

Jokes aside, I think pretty people are treated more nicely, but I do not think they are inherently trusted more. (Specific to Cybersecurity)

Depends. Attractive women are sometimes prejudged as being dumb. You have to know how to play it and establish credibility early on.

not really if you're dumb or lazy.

Yes, but you’re also at an advantage if you’re one of the following:

- Smart
- Competitive
- Politically aware
- Hard working
- Etc.


Will looks give you a leg up - sure. But play the hand you’re dealt.

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
