Has anyone else’s workplace completely shut down until January but are receiving the occasional work messages/emails etc. Not that I am checking as such, I simply tapped on my work phone screen and see a load of emails - I wish everyone would just take this little time to rest, as I’m sure it can wait until January.

I've gotten a few stray messages like that and none of it seems important or timely. It really does seem like it could wait until we pick it back up in the new year. Let's be honest, if you email me now, I'm not going to remember it in January, so you might as well keep it till then.

That’s exactly how I think haha, I’m not in work mode so it will go in one ear and out the other.

Good for you, being able to set boundaries like that. I’m supposed to be off until the first week of January but I can’t help but check my emails. I’m just paranoid about what’s going on when I’m not there.

I take it your company is still in operation and not shut for the festive period?

I have started setting clearer out of office messages and sticking to them myself.

I would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense? I’m guessing it could take me to 170ish with that schools I’m looking at but wondering if the 40-50 retirement range makes an mba not make sense since I’d only have 10-20 years to save vs 12-22.

Would have to finance the whole thing myself. Current net worth is 140k. Thoughts?

Currently 25 y/o making 70k/year in Boston. I grew up pretty poor and I have minimal financial education. A lot of my salary now goes towards helping my parents get out of debt. My parents are no longer able to live on their own, so considering selling my grandmas house where they live (maybe 550k), paying off their mortgage (100k) and buying a duplex (between them they make about 55k/year). Is buying a two family home a good investment ? How much can I afford to spend on a new house?

Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons
