Hi! Hows the new wk going??? Anything exciting?

If I’m paying first month rent and security deposit now for a May 1 move in. Do they give me the keys now or not until May 1?

Laying on the couch and watching TV all day sounds so much better than doing these tax returns. That is all , thanks for listening to my Ted Talk

My CSR just renewed earlier this month. Last year my first $300 of travel expenses was deducted off my credit card (including Uber’s) but that does not appear to be happening even though I just renewed. What gives?

Have 1M sitting in cash. Would you dump it all into VTI or DCA?

529 prepaid tuition plan: Anyone here who has purchased this? Would be great to discuss pros and cons. I’m thinking about this using Illinois Bright Start 529.

Capital gains tax rate - I know there are diff rates (0/15/20) depending on income threshold but is the threshold based solely on “earned income” (i.e., wage)? For ex. if I quit my job and hv zero earned income and sell my stocks with 5M gain in the same yr, there would not be any capital gain tax?? It doesn’t seem right but is that the rule?

No washer dryer or refrigerator included
Added these at cost, downgraded to basic grey paint throughout, removed blinds and builder accepted 460. Feeling cheated :/

What would have been a better offer?

Anyone wondering what digitization and disruption of banking and lender relationships will look like? If at some point regulation allows customers to borrow directly from central banks, then will banks and buy side direct lending shops die out ?

Is there anyone from Canada here? I’m looking for some information on working out of the country, but selling insurance.
Thanks

Haha Merrill just reduced the pc payout grid by 3% for advisor below $2m in production

Hi all - I'm on a £100-110k base + bonus at a tier 2 firm. This is in the region where personal allowance for tax starts eroding away..
Wondering what options I have to make this as tax efficient as possible (legally), considering a salary sacrifice pension and student loan.
Also what are you investment recommendations? Stocks and Share ISA? What are the good alternatives?

Currently maxed Roth 401k, Roth IRA, HSA, and ESPP at 23 YO, should I consider an after-tax conversion? I’ve read about back-door Roths but I’m still far below the income limit as an analyst. Definitely looking into early-ish retirement, should I just invest the rest in a regular brokerage account until I reach the income limit? Am I even allowed to do a conversion? Any advice is helpful :)

Anyone following what's happening in MKR? A bit going on recently including investing in real world assets and breaking up the teams into Meta DAOs. 🐂 or 🐻?

Has anyone driven between big sky and Jackson hole in the winter? Trying to figure out if my rental car needs to have 4x4 or if just “intermediate SUV” is okay

Not career advice, but life advice:

You get what you pay for with cruises. If you want to be surrounded by white trash, go with Carnival.

I live in VA, been married for 6 years and have no kids. My spouse and I are just separated and about to get divorced in a month. My spouse left their job a year after we married due to which, I need.

I’ve recently learned about invoice discounting and want to understand how good or bad is it from short term investment perspective. Is there any other instrument that I can look for apart from stocks or liquid funds?

Housecleaning services?
I’m in midtown west and need a new housecleaner. Looking to pay $100/cleaning. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who is trustworthy and reliable? I would also need them to do laundry (laundry is one floor above and below me - every other floor in my building).

Applying for IT Audit/Technology Risk position with MorganFranklin Consulting from EY. Anyone have experience with both Big 4 and MorganFranklin and has insight to what the advancement structure looks like at MorganFranklin? Also interested in WLB, travel expectations, etc.

Anything cool going on for 5/5? 👀

So who else here is experiencing plummeting billable hours and exponential weight gain since this whole WFH thing started? Bought snacks for 30 days, finished in 48 hours.

I'm at a smaller MM bank. My original goal was to start here and hustle through into a BB, but I wasn't expecting to really like the people (my team, my direct seniors). I think the work we do probably wouldn't differ a crazy amount (we close deals, just smaller of course) and I'm wondering if I really have a reason to try to move into a bigger bank.

Perspectives?

Any tips on how to get started on prepping for VC interviews

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

Hi all! I’ll be relocating from NYC to Orlando, FL. I was hoping to get an idea of the average salary range for outpatient pediatric clinic positions. Thanks in advance !!

How is the work culture in ADP?

Any EY folks with questions and answers on IVF or Pathways to Parenthood benefits before Annual Enrollment period ends???

I like using Artsonia to catalog/preserve student work digitally. But I end up spending too much time walking students through how to upload or taking the pictures myself. Does anyone out there have a really great set up or recommendations? Or other digital platforms they really enjoy using?

IDN up 15% today, was a great call out

Can someone look into their 🔮 and let me know if you think it’s feasible to go to the Grand Canyon or Zion late July/early aug?

Is ARKK still a good ETF to invest in?

Who’s up but who’s checking their work email 😆

Everytime I see this bowl name. I read it as wife confessions and keep getting scared.

This bowl fell off. Typical 35+ behavior 🤭😄

Bowl is getting awfully quiet…must be past 8pm Zzzzzz

I’m showing my age I guess but it’s really hard to tell who’s on the cover. It’s Usher right?

Gosh i just posted on the wrong bowl how do i undo or move to this bowl? 😣☹️

I just hate seeing people at work - takes all my energy not to throat punch someone. Just go away Janet, I really don’t want to hear about your kids soccer game or your quilting club.

If anyone has a remote job referral, DM me - willing to do anything to prevent me from being arrested for hurting Janet

Hey hey you old fogies 😂

I just discovered that scheduling a call for 7 am the morning after a boozy team event is the best way to get easy agreement and consensus. No debating for the sake of debating when everyone is sleepy! 😂

Am torn between: Master of Business Administration with a Concentration in Operations and Supply Chain Management and Master of Business Administration with a Concentration in Human Resource Management. Can anyone of my wise peeps give some insights? Good, bad?

How's everyone's back and knees doing

How many of you woke up with hangover this morning.

Why do partners feel the need to speak when they obviously have very superficial knowledge about the topic? So exhausting pushing back on stupid ideas, needless analysis, unnecessary credit taking attempts and spending time making their input sound coherent with what was already aligned with client. Let me manage and please just get out of the way…

Well, I threw out my back trying to roll off my foam roller. Welcome to the ripe old age of 39. I’ll be on the floor if anyone needs me.

I'm actually happily married with a stable, normal life now, but I like lurking in the confessions bowl because I love all the messy drama.

I could be watching the man burn right now but I was too jaded to get up there this year.
