Hi All,

Need a help urgently..I received an offer letter from Cognizant 10 days ago but haven't received a mail where I can accept the offer letter and proceed with BGV. Can someone tell what can be done? I had applied with an experience of 3 years.

Thanks in advance.

At what point does it make sense to buy a home? I have ~700k in the stock market and a lower than average salary currently (80k) and pay 1800 a month in rent.

Did not sell some of my underperforming stocks before end of 2021. Can I sell now but include them in 2021 tax return? Remember there is some grace period for this.

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA
