Does anyone have, or is in touch with a reputable scholar, that has in-depth knowledge or riba? I’m very interested in real estate, and currently use Guidance Residential as a lender, but have been reading two majority opinions recently. 1.) Conventional mortgage is not the same as Riba as interest in conventional is typically fixed versus the ability to balloon in Riba or 2.) Islamic Finance just mirrors conventional so it’s still Riba.

I’m at a loss and really starting to struggle with what is correct so any knowledge opinions or references here would be super helpful

Neither of those are majority opinions, where are you reading this?

Well I’m surprised by that. Neither of those are majority positions in any of the major schools of thought within Sunni Islam - there are recent arguments put forward on this subject which distorts the views perhaps, which focus on either 2 points of disgreement: 1) the “necessity” of a mortgage or 2) whether the rules apply in the first place while living in non-Muslim lands. Argument 1 falls down quite quickly because there can never be a necessity when you have a choice and the 2nd point goes deeper than my knowledge but from what I understand, if that position is to be accepted then the implication of that position is that it is haraam to stay in that location for an extended period of time so you “sin” anyway by their logic.

I can’t comment on Shia Islam.

I recommend reaching out to Sh Joe Bradford, you can book a session with him online on his website

Is it more worth it to go into FDD at a regional firm now, or hope that my current big 4 will transfer me come spring 2021?

I'm kind of in the mindset of only doing FDD at big 4, otherwise I'll go straight to industry. Am I being too down on mid-market FDD experience and the related exit ops?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).

My wife makes good money, but I don't want her to carry our finances for long as we are a team. What jobs could I look to pivot to if I pivot? Thanks fishes!

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
