Hey 🇬🇧 🐠,
Has anyone ever invested in an EIS or VCT?
It appears to be very tax efficient and was wondering if any had any experience (returns, good fund manager, ...)to share ?

No direct experience but my question would be have you maxed out your pension contributions? If you want something more personalized perhaps SIPP? ISAs?

Thanks A&M1.
Pension maxed to get company’s contribution. Not keen on doing more for different reasons.
ISA maxed each year.

Fair enough but EIS/VCT are inherently more risky I'd imagine. Pension limit is 40k so I'm sure that could be allocated to more risky investments via SIPP?

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?

I’m going to be making an exit soon to a company that’s working hard to recruit me in. I’m in an AE position. I’d be forfeiting $18k in RSUs vesting, President’s club, and $200k+ in pipeline if I do move. I’m inclined to leave because this would be a step up in a role and I really like the team.

My question is: is it reasonable to ask for a $40k sign on bonus to account for what I’m leaving here? How do you go about negotiating that?
