Having a hard time since putting my two weeks. Feel that there’s some petty, negativity happening but I’m not sure if it’s real or if I’m imagining things. I wish people would just be happy for you!

My jaded experience is people are rarely happy for someone else’s good fortune/opportunities.
Two weeks will be gone before you know it. Onward.
Be nice and humble and generous with your kindness on your way out the door. It’s not you, it’s them.

Most of the time, their response is less about you and more about them - their unhappiness, their frustration at losing a good partner and teammate, etc. keep your chin up, take the high road, and you’ll be outta there in no time. It is a crappy experience but is also an important life lesson so you don’t treat others the same way in the future, too

This happens all too often. Which is why I NEVER give more than two weeks. One week would be ideal although frowned upon. Hang in there. It’s awkward but you’ll be gone before you know it.

Do people tend to age out of wanting to FIRE?

In your 20s-30s, you don’t know much, you’re told what to do, you have few financial resources so you are tied to your job. Under these circumstances it makes perfect sense why you would want to FIRE asap.

But eventually you advance up the ladder, you are now the boss and your people do all the grunt work. You also have built up expertise which makes the job easier. And you are making the best money of your life. FIRE is no longer so pressing.

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?
