In weird spot. I have a side hustle and love it. The spouse? Not so much. In fact, it often causes many arguments and the lack of support is stressful.

Recently, years of hard work paid off w/ a production deal. I should be excited, but the first thing she asked was how much $ I was planning on sharing? I was always planning on taking us on a trip and putting money down on a home, but this entitlement feels wrong. Especially since its not something she supported in the first place.

Thoughts?

I have been a Sr Product Manager/PM/PO for over 15 years, and I am finding it impossible over the last few years to find a role with an organization that actually uses Product management concepts regardless of how many PMs/Directors of Product they have. My current company just hired a VP of Product Management to whom I had to explain the differences between strategic and tactical work.
Does anyone have any ideas of different careers I might try outside of PM work?

What are u guys doing during quarantine (fun answers only)

So I applied to a couple of jobs to gauge my market value and now have a 3rd interview with both of them. I enjoy my current job but am willing to leave if they are unwilling to match. Either job would require me to relocate.
How do I approach this with my current employer? I have this feeling they will take it as me trying to corner them. Do I bring up the interviews or wait until an offer is on the table?

Tax question! (Massachusetts)

I just started a new job. From my old job, I would like to convert my prior 401k balance of $25k into a Roth IRA and then roll it over. I understand I would need to pay taxes for this.

Two questions:
1) How much in taxes would I need to pay?
2) Do I have to pay any early withdrawal for the conversion from 401k?

Wouldn’t it make sense to buy Slack stock tomorrow? I read an article that Slack shareholders will receive $26.79 in cash and 0.0776 shares of Salesforce for each Slack share owned. With Salesforce’s after hours price at $229.75, that means Slack shareholders would receive $26.79 + (229.75*0.0776) = $44.62. Though Salesforce stock can continue dropping, with Slack’s after hours price at $43.56, it seems like investors can earn over $1 per share by buying tomorrow. Am I missing something?

Thoughts on $WKHS?

Bout to open a roth ira with CS. Just wanna make sure ive considered and understand the mechanics:
1) As long as I earn less than 124,000 i can contribute 6k
2) I can withdraw my contributions at any time
3) After 5 years, I can withdraw my gains too for buying my first home
