Hey guys... told ya so #MAGA

How’s the freelance market in SF right now?

Today I started looking into the benefits of owning a miniature pony. And I seriously considered it.

Let’s all defect and start a big gay consulting firm.

Hello S& 🐠! I was just approached by a recruiter for a senior associate role on the TMT Corp and business strategy team. Wanted to get a sense of the team, company, culture, comp expectations. Really any candid insight would be great! (I’m 2.5 years out of undergrad, ex-EY Parthenon, current on a strategy team at a large tech company)
Thanks a ton in advance!

How long did it take you to reach 800+ credit? I have a total of 4 credit cards (averaged 2 yrs) but always seem to hover at 750-780

How are we feeling about The Blues Clues 25th Anniversary promo?

All of us want the same thing! Money- Flex Timing- Great Culture- Respect - Value in what we are doing!
We, the employees make a organization. If all of us want the same thing, how come the culture of that organization still remains the same! Why can’t we be the pioneer? Thoughts…

Anyone out there who left their previous job for a new one have any advice or life experience to share? I’ve been thinking about it for months but currently feel comfortable in my job/the products I work on. I’d say I have a great work/life balance but I do know that I could be making 20-30% more and have better benefits if I left. I also feel a bit stagnant in my job but the job security has kept me put. Would love to hear if leaving a comfortable job for more money is always worth it.

After going from big agency to in-house, I have the chance to move to a smaller in-house company to be the only creative and eventually begin to build my own team. Ideal situation or terrifying one?

What welcome kit they will send?

Recently got laid off in the middle of my search for an exit from consulting. Will this come up in background checks? If so, how do I address if it’s brought up?

What happens if i didn't attend the 2nd day of the virtual onboarding session in infosys .

Currently I pay $1900 for a brand new & modern 1BHK in the Greater NYC area. Moving to SF later this year. Any recommendations on how much to budget for SF? Will be working in Downtown area & currently got a car. I am little bit divided on whether to sell the car or move it to SF.

Looking for a good neighbourhood and ok with 30 minute commute to work.

Starting the interview process at a competitor and the people I will be interviewing with know my current team members just from being in the industry and I think some even used to work together. Does it go without being said that the people I am interviewing with won’t say anything to my current team members or should I be concerned about this?

Dubai was liiit

Received an offer from JPM for a branch manager position, but afraid of getting the offer rescinded due to going through bankruptcy almost 3 years ago . I’m freaking out hoping this won’t be an automatic disqualification, has anyone been through this same experience and gotten hired in?

Lady Fish, I'm looking for a light weight, professional jacket to wear this fall. I haven't found anything that's caught my eye. Do you have any recommendations?

Who is more annoying Cross Fitters or vegans?

Compared to FRM, CFA is tough because it requires an enormous commitment to complete all three levels

Hi guys, I am working as an Investment Analyst for a boutique asset management firm in Toronto, Canada (4bn AUM) making 70k annually. I am 5 months into this role. Credentials: 6 months of prior experience in this industry at a small startup + 2 years of work exp in retail banking, CFA L2 candidate, part time masters of finance student, bachelors from outside of Canada.

Home for the weekend, and I'm find it more and more difficult to relate to my old high school friends. Anyone else feel this way?

I received a take home case study for a strategic finance position. They gave me historical statements for the last 3 years (quarterly) and asked for insights/observations and opportunities/trends. What should I be observing here? I’m used to just modeling exams but I’m not sure how to proceed here. They didn’t give industry but this looks like retail store financials when they are a software company....

Currently a part of the rotational program here and about to enter the trading floor but as I hit my two year mark I’m realizing I really wanna do more investor relations/product specialist work in the PE space. I am a little anxious about where to start and if there is a possible for me to get into due to the rotational aspect of my job

I am typically a high strung person, naturally inclined to stress and worry. It's so bad, people I barely know can pick up on it. How do I mellow out?

Can someone explain how to maximize the 401k employer contribution -- by when during the year should I have invested the full $18k to get the 1.5% match?

Pros and cons of being a specialist vs generalist?

What book has inspired you the most in life principles, or your career in finance?

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!

Curious. What's everyone's all in tax rate at year end (first and second years). Thanks. Looking for a percentage.

Transitioning from line of business familiarity (understanding financial statements) to... real(?) Finance (bonds and cap markets and other debt sales) any advice on books or resources to learn really from step 0?

How normal is it to be on a bonus plan at the manager level? I’m in FP&A, former CPA, and make $125k. I feel like I should be incentivized based on my team or personal goals. Thoughts?
