Hi Fishes,

Is WFH ends for PwC India. I am supposed to join in 2nd week of July and recruiter said that WFO started and all onboarding are doing physically.

I really like finance, but I want to be a sole proprietor. Any ideas of what I can do besides making my own hedge book?

Hi Fishes,

I joined TCS 1.5 years back only in Oct20 as an Asso Consutlt (C3B).
in Jan22, I appeared for Tech Mah interview process and got selected as a Project Manager position, they have offered me 40% hike.

Currently I am on notice period, resigned from TCS last month but still not very convinced with my decision there is still a 2nd thought like whether should I join TechM (obviously bcoz of leaving TCS and its facilities, job security and no hire back policy).

Please guide me.

Anybody here belong to Midtown Athletic Club? Just joined a couple months back, I love it.

I'm switching jobs and considering whether I want to roll over my 401(k). I have about $220k in my plan. Considering rolling it into an existing Fidelity IRA with a balance of about $50k. Since October of 2020, I've paid about $880 in "plan administrative fees" to my 401(k) provider as well as the fund expense ratios.

It looks like Fidelity does not charge administrative fees on IRA accounts, so that seems to make it a no brainer, plus the investment options are much broader.What am I missing?
