For 780k, in NYC greater area would expect your house to be turn key - meaning no major repairs (plumbing, a/c, electrical, etc)

25 and a year into having a brokerage account. How does one build a strong portfolio? I’m currently doing well based on stock picks but understand that it’s really just luck based on this rollercoaster year. Holding for the LT

Looking to put 10k into ibonds (maybe another 10k next year but not sure yet). Is treasury site easy enough to use? I initially stayed away because I heard it's awful but if set up is doable then I'll reconsider.

Also, should you have a separate emergency fund until you can withdraw your ibonds? Can't withdraw if you have an emergency in the next 12 months.

So after you max your investment accounts (401K, IRÁ, emergency savings. etc) what do you do next?

A little context: 24M, started in the pandemic, moved back home and paid off my student loans.

Do I move out? Can I start spending on myself? Am I missing anything from a saving perspective?

Apologies in advance if this comes off entitled/arrogant, really just looking for some advice and wanted to give as clear a picture as possible.

Today I lost out on a house because my offer of $90k over the list price was beat out by another bid. Everyone else having an equally crappy Monday?

Has anyone successfully claimed that income from a NY big law firm is not NY income based on TSB-M-06(5)I (May 15, 2006)? I think that my situation meets all the factors necessary. I am going to claim that the income should be sourced from Texas—I worked out of the Houston office from time to time while there. I was in Texas for more than half the year.

Heading to Buenos Aires and Montevideo tomorrow. Will be in each city for 1 week. Are credit cards widely accepted or do I need to exchange cash before I go. Thanks!

Recently sold my car on carvana. I had initially bought it using a loan from DCU. Now that carvana has paid me the balance after paying of the loan, i still see on the dcu app that I owe money to dcu. People that can relate, can you take me through next steps?

If I had a traditional IRA before being employed in a 401k eligible role, can / must I roll that IRA into the 401k or can I leave the accounts separate without deleterious tax consequences?

If I invested a small amount through a SAFE and the company is now kicking off a seed round that will be a priced round, should I invest in more in the company before or after this seed round? Assume I have the money and the risk appetite - just want to know if my money buys more before or after the priced round.

How hard is everyone pushing their corporate clients to authorize nonresident assignees whose only 2020 US compensation was the value of their 2019 tax preparation?
My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

Does anyone carry a driving iron? If so how do you find it?

Thinking of dropping the $ to buy a Titleist U500 2-iron... 10 handicap and wondering if I'll be able to actually hit it solid. I see my scratch/plus handicap friends hitting bullets with theirs

Is it okay to buy a home worth 660K for a couple earning 325K TC together? The HOA and taxes for this home bring the monthly payment up to ~4.8K which is ~32% of our monthly take home after tax…we’re first time home buyers, any advise is appreciated!

Thoughts on buying pre-construction homes in markets that are popping and flipping selling them when construction is complete?

My uncle does this (he’s a realtor) and usually gets 2-3x return. Obviously there is huge risk because property prices can change a lot in 1-2 years, but at the same time the upside is hard to ignore.

Anyway I protect myself against the downside risk? (other than loosing my down payment)

Has anyone taken up the Personal Capital investment management service that they offer?

They say they will manage my 401k but to do that they will require my credentials that I use to log into fidelity. Is that normal? Has anyone here done that before? Any feedback or experiences of using them?

I am sick of being a realtor! I've been trying for 5 years and have only sold 3 houses. Where I'm from (small Southern town) nobody is buying. Most people's families already own homes and it's just a bummer to see all these nice houses deteriorating over time.

What states have a big law market where I can get the most out of my dollar? Also currently work for CA firm, if I move to another state does the state tax rate switch to where I live?

My son will be turning 1 soon and I would like to present a gift and thinking of investing on a watch so that it will hold its value 25 years down the lane, any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Budget is around $7k.

Tax question: married filing jointly for 1st time next year. Company recommends/requires me to fill out its tax calculator. Is this required? Can I just leave it at 0? What are implications if I skip this exercise? Overpay? Underpay? Enough to maybe have a penalty? Me and wife are ~$250k/$150K=$400k total.

In a Big4 deal Analytics group that’s not premier with no path to partner... should I try to move to MBB/T2 to gain traditional consulting experience or try for tech/FAANG... I just wanna make money

How are the salary hikes at nagarro? I heard the hikes has decreased! If yes what can I expect after a year? I am 4 year experienced

I joined Nagarro as a trainee at 3.5 LPA how much hike could i expect??

Does nagarro deducted tax from first month's salary, as company is saying that we can only show our investment once first salary is credited.

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.

I want a baby 😭

Hey Fishes.. any idea on Monthly Overseas Allowance (MOA) . Is it part of Fixed salary (net as mentioned in Offer) or and addition to it.

Went into a multi family property 50/50 with a relative against my gut. Things are going horrible. Need to get out. Best options? Buy him out? He invested maybe 4-5K in time (demolition work) and 2K in cash. I’ve managed the whole thing for 9 months. 10% of gross rents (as a management fee) would be about the same (6-7K)). Bought at low in market just after COVID hit. I want to keep the building. Seems fair to give him his initial investment back + some additional money for market gains. Help!

Is it safe to resign IBM-ISL(Python dev) for a startup who is ready to pay a hike of around 30%.
Given notice period of IBM is 3 months
Or I should wait for offer from some MNC or SME

Hey folks, how many of you in Big 4 here and what are the other firms that we have representation from ?
I will start EY :)

Hello team,
I know that onsite opportunity at Oracle(non oci) is slim.
But if someone has got that opportunity, could you please share your experience?
Do they sponsor L1B for ICs who perform very well and impress the manager?
Apart from USA, has anyone got international assignment to some other country?

Anotha one! Award-winning agency in LA hiring early MID-LEVEL to early SENIOR AD. Beneficial to be in the LA area but not mandatory.

DM me your books!

I know EY early promotes had their comp discussions and was curious what other big 4’s are seeing in terms of raises this year due to covid
