Hello! For those of you in the US on visas, obviously we are tied to our visa and not allowed to work for other companies or start a business, but what about investing? Are we able to invest in the stock market or is that not allowed with being on a work visa? I am new to this. Will be speaking to an accountant shortly

Anyone been able to work from Dubai for a UK/US firm and benefit from no taxes? I know if you are a US citizen you pay taxes where you are globally, but if you are British, then you only pay income tax on UK income - so if you live more than half the year abroad you are classed as non-domicile resident, but wanted to hear if anyone’s done this or heard about it?

I am considering moving from US to Canada within EY if my visa doesn’t work out. Joined EY TAS- OTS from MBA as a Senior last year with base of 150k. How much salary should I expect in Toronto?

How do you manage your money?

I only bring in a little over $2,600 a month. After paying all my expenses, I get to put away $500 a month in savings but don’t have much wiggle room for anything else, including going out money.

I’m very privileged to have a significant inheritance and zero debt of any kind. I really wonder how my peers who have student loans, car payments, and even children manage to pay their bills and live so comfortably. Please share if this is you!

Fishes, need some guidance.

Recently laid off and looking for recruiters that specialize in media/strategy/advertising (both agency and client side). Sure there are others looking as well - would greatly appreciate any info.

Four years out of rehab today. Mostly sober since I “graduated”. Sometimes I want to act out and be caught, so I can be punished…because I don’t believe I was punished enough or suffered enough (divorce, losing a house, suicidal thoughts aren’t punishment enough apparently). In a meeting tonight a couple shares brought me right back to when I hit rock bottom, to the pain that I inflicted on others and myself. I need to remind myself every day that I am worthy of love and recovery.

Suggestions for a romantic bday dinner spot in NYC? Preferably veg-friendly. TIA! (will be end of September/early October so guessing most outdoor patios will be closed).
