EY 🐟- when do we lose our vacation carryover?

$2k into XLV or VHT?

hiya fishes. happy friday! sorry if this isnt the right bowl, but this is in regards to vacation time. i have an interview process starting next week, and wondering when it would be good to mention i would be OOO between the middle of the month in september? its for a week. im unsure if i can twist this to have a start date once im back. going back and forth on being transparent vs. mentioning it later on. thoughts?

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

Job A - no career path upwards, high functioning team, generous benefits and unlimited time off. TC 185

Job B - clear career path, new team, chaotic corporation, but lots of room for growth and budget to hire staff. Ok benefits. TC 220

Can i get a decent 2bhk in HSR layout sector 5 or HSR layout sector 6 under 25k with maintenance?

Or should i go for 1bhk in this budget with this locality?

Hello, I’m looking for help filing my tax information for a new job. I’ve been in nyc for close to two decades, and am moving from the city for a new job. I’m wondering what to claim.

I am starting personal investment now- please tell me if this plan looks good:
- Already have a 401k plan with max matching form my employer
- invest in 5000$ in S&P ETF
- invest 5000$ each in AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL,MSFT
- invest 1000$ each in Netflix, ADP and Home Depot
- invest 500$ each in Intel, Nike,Walmart and T-Mobile
- small amounts 100-500 in Merck, GE, Coca Cola , Altria and Samsung.

Thoughts? I plan to invest a little bit each month (200$) in ETF. Any suggestions?

Hello Fishes,

I am new to the investing world. I have invested some 80k in Nifty fifty index funds. I wanted to increase my investment in other MFs and stocks.

Can you advise how to start it considering short term and long term financial goals.

Short term goals - like for 2-3 years

Long term goals - like for 5-6+ years or more depending upon the performance

I have seen multiple you tube videos but seems to get confused on how to start and which funds to pick.

Thank you!

Am I black listed because of PIP? Please share your insights.

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.
