Has anyone ever encountered the objection to being promoted based on number of years out of law school vs meritocracy ie only those that are X number of years out of school get to be Senior Counsel , AGC, DGC etc? If so, isn’t that an indirect form of age discrimination? Or is this acceptable behavior because law seniority is different and special from all other professions?

What changes (if any) would you make to your life once you reached Coast FI? Mid 30s, no kids. I like my job but the intensity is unsustainable in the long run.

I have got 10 years of experience in project management with solid records and I had to leave my last employer after just 8 months due to a restructuring.

Should I look for a job already? How bad will it look?

How is the job market for FPA Managers? I transferred into finance 2 years ago and I’m having trouble getting interviews for an FPA Manager role. I’m a CPA with a Masters degree.

Is it the covid economy or are Manager level jobs harder to get?

First time landlord with a house in an unattractive part of town. I’ve found I can rent to young professionals by the room for a total of $3200 or rent the whole house for around $2800. The problem is young professionals end up wanting flexible leases, and in the whole house rental market, I end up relying on vouchers. What’s the better strategy?

When I get deliveries, I always ask the delivery person to “just scribble” instead of a signature as it’s not good for either of us to be touching their screen. I then ask “ha how did you know what my signature looks like?” Always puts a smile on their face 🤣
