CSP or Amex gold? Not spending $550 for a credit card, I only make 80k. Was thinking CSR but with their changes it’s not worth it to me. I travel 2x/year, dining... idk but it’s a lot. 6x/month

Associate Software engineer with 0 yrs of experience with 115k + 15% bonus. Is this a good starting salary? (Chicago) This is for JPMorgan Chase.

I came from China, you know why I came here? Because I hate being told they do things for my protection. Stocks there halt for the rest of the trading day if it moves more than 10%, because everything else must be too much risk for us little people to handle.

Vanguard vs. Charles Schwab - Maybe silly question, bit seems like everyone here and other places I see uses Vanguard. I've always used Charles Schwab and obviously Charles Schwab offers same products that fits my needs (e.g. total stock market index funds, etc.) Why does it seem like everyone uses Vanguard - just a coincidence?

Construction costs / inflation / Costa Rica: I am considering buying land & building a short-term vacation rental villa in Costa Rica. Sole goal is to get a 10%+ ROI (going there for holidays as extra perk). All is looking good and I have good planning/advisors, but the only thing that freaks me out is the construction costs increase we are seeing (+15-30%). It kills me that timing is going against me. Would you pause such venture and wait to see how things evolve, or move on to not waste time?

We all know how inflation can derail our Retirement Planning dreams!!Though it's better to start investing as early as possible,but HEY, all is not lost even if you start little late. We all have our family responsibilities when we start our career, so "INVESTING FOR SELF" takes a back seat.
Just a perspective, even if someone at the age of 45 years starts investin for his retirement, he can decently manage the same with discipline and regular investing.
Happy to discuss with anyone on this!!

Hello,

The immigration firm(for the new company I’ve accepted offer from) reached out with a link to put in my details for H1 transfer. They specifically mentioned that they won’t support dependent immigration.
My wife is on H4, how do I go about her immigration requirements? Does she need a transfer or amendment on current visa once I get my visa transferred?
Thank you

Getting married in the Caribbean end of February. Going absolutely nuts with the range of my RSVP emails. Young people “can’t wait, so excited!!!!”, old people “too afraid to travel”. If it were in January I’d prob postpone, but I kinda feel like end of Feb might be ok? And who’s to say if I move it there won’t be another variant. FWIW planning to require rapid tests, the country requires vaccines everywhere, etc but people are either v comfortable or not at all. 😑 no q, just commiserating

One of the worst parts about this job is being dismissed by other people who aren't in banking as some sort of demonic, capitalistic ogre. We are people too, the world needs Investment Bankers (actually tho), and we care about people too.

Hi all,

Need some advice on my next career move. I'm 31, have an MBA and am currently a SC in Risk Advisory with no M&A experience. I am good at risk consulting work but don't find it very challenging or interesting. That said, I expect to get promoted to M next year.

Recently, I interviewed with another Big 4 firm for SC in CDD M&A team and have got an offer. I enjoyed doing the CDD case study, and I believe I'd do well in the role.

Does it make sense to start afresh in M&A at this stage?

I still have a 35k Marriott free night set to expire 6/30 if anyone wants it.
