For UK based colleagues- has anyone done self assessment with HMRC although we are part of PAYE? Last year I switched entities and had stocks vest. So apparently went over £100k with sticks vesting. Superficially I made over £100k, but about 50% of vested shares go to paying tax and NIC. I’m a bit baffled as to how I fill out the self assessment form. I had no other income so one would think it’s straightforward… there are questions about foreign investment. Would RSUs be foreign investment? Amazon

Recommendations for best ways to save for retirement after contributing to 401k up to match and maxing out Roth IRA?

$530k HHI, $250k cash on hand, $1.2M investments/retirement. Plan to buy $800-900k house as our first home, but thinking of the best approach given rates today. My thinking is that we (i) put $200k+ down and get a 5/1 ARM. (ii) put everything we save moving forward toward paying down the principal (after maximizing retirement accounts). Should be able to do $100k per year. (iii) If rates go down below 4.5ish % for 15 year fixed, refinance and stop aggressive payment. Thoughts on this approach?

My boss won’t stop sexually harassing me. Verbally, email, texts - 400+. He even set up his office with a display of sex toys and edibles condiments to show me that he planned to give me oral sex.

He promises me none of his requests or my responses will affect my job and is just begging now to be friends with me. Tell me what would you do if you were me.

Hi everyone.
Just reached final on-site round for a Senior Manager position (non tech) in the logistics department (London office). Recruiter has just asked me now for my expected compensation (base salary + total comp) via email before scheduling the loop. Any idea what to aim for?

I don’t know the level but was aiming £80k base, +15% bonus. If I don’t fall under their budget, would I automatically be removed from candidates?

Background: 7YOE, 2 Masters Degree
Any tips are appreciated!

Hi guys - I accepted my offer from Amazon yesterday (via email). I received my Amazon Joiner Support email earlier today. I was wondering when was the best moment for me to resign and give my notice? Feels like they’re doing employer checks and visa checks before sending out the employment contract… Im currently pre-settled status in the UK, and wondering how to best approach this. Any tips are welcome. Thanks, x

Hi team. I received my offer from Amazon and signed my contract a few weeks ago. I also resigned from my current company after agreeing on a starting date mid-January. Seeing the news of the hiring freeze worries me though - do we know if this applies to roles where offers have been extended? Could they retract an offer after I signed a contract? Not sure what are my rights. Let me know if you have any tips/knowledge to share!
