Have about $700K in various mutual funds that have just sat for a decade and about $500K in savings to invest. I don’t have much free time to research what to invest in and when. I don’t even know which funds to choose/which 401K option to choose (Roth vs Traditional) in my typical day-to-day.

Do people in a similar situation usually have a financial advisor or wealth manager?

Realize this is a newbie question.

I recently was let go (in lieu of accepting my two weeks) and I should have received my March expense check by the end of April per the employment agreement (submitted the report April 1, let go before mid April). I have emailed HR but haven't heard anything. I've got a feeling someone at the top is putting a hold on it.

How do I get my money from them? It's a few hundred dollars

Sorry if this isn't the right bowl for this question - I've checked a few.

Hello all, I hope you’re all having a fantastic day/evening. I’m a Case Manager for TZ Insurance, aka Tranzact. Does anyone know of anything I could apply for at other companies/positions with my skill set? I don’t want to be a sales agent, though I have a Health/Life Insurance License in my state (& a few others). I review new applications with clients. I’m sick of dealing with all the 65+ & disabled people who are always irate & impatient, inside the “Medicare” area of Health Insurance.

I have about $45k cash on hand. Job looks pretty safe but I want a fall back in the event of job loss and / or recession. I have student loans of about that same amount on pause but at an 8% interest rate once they start up again.
What should I be doing with it?

Hello,
How do I randomly pick one name from a list in excel that has identical names?
Example:
Warehouses names
Ana
Ana
Hou
Hou
Aus
Aus

Every name repeats itself several times. But each of them has different lot numbers associated with them. I only need to pick one lot number number from each warehouse randomly. Is there a formula for that in excel?

"I love Zoom because I can just turn my camera off and eat almonds while you talk."

Me: (8pm. Have a cocktail in me. Calming down after a busy day.)

Slack: Ping!!

Me: What’s going on?

Slack: Application XYZ has three IPs assigned. We need forty IPs.

Why are people not good at ending zoom calls? I feel like I’m always the person who throws in the closing statement (I.e, ok well sounds good is that all? Have a nice day! This was helpful thanks Karyn..looks like we’re at top of the hour already) 🤦🏻‍♀️

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

Are recruiters worth more than L&D specialists? We have a new recuiter that transferred in from another dept. & is already making more than me and has a higher comp range. We have same tenure & they have NO prev. recuiting experience. I should also add I have been helping cover recuiting in interim. I also help cover HR tasks, have my SHRM, 5 years of HR exp., and 2 degrees. Is the "value" for recruiters more than L&D? I feel a little taken advantage of, but want to know if I'm off base here.

I ended a 5 year relationship back in March because he was toxic and I was very close to depression. Since then I’ve lost 30 pounds and found happiness again. Now due to a serious of events, I’m falling back into that depression. I’ve already gained 10lbs.
This one seems scarier & no matter how many times I tell myself to get up. I just can’t. I feel defeated.
I know I don’t want to end my life because better days will come, but I can’t shake the thought. :/
Any advice would be appreciated.
