Hi, seeking guidance for my job search after 4 yrs of career break. Was working as a TL Financial Analyst in 2018 but then had to move to US with my husband on H4 visa which didn’t allow work (hated it). Got EAD work permit recently. Now as much as I am confident that this gap won’t impact my work as I have been constantly brushing up and acquiring new skills, I’m struggling to generate recruiters interest in my job applications. Would appreciate any guidance on how to kick start my career again

Called Chase to set up an appt to open a business checking account for my crypto mining business. Rep talked to me like I was on a no fly list, said she would get back to me before putting it on the books. Anyone have experience banking with a crypto biz?

Hey Team

I'm on a H1B so I am supposed to pay Medicare and SS taxes, but my employer has not withheld anything- my hnr block advisor caught that but she just completed my returns assuming I don't have to pay those taxes

What is the right protocol in this case? Do I owe SS and fica taxes?

Did most of the companies shut their doors for H1B holders? Anyone still hiring people on H1B?

I've reached peak churning levels. Can someone make this pandemic go away so I can focus on the art of redemptions?

Chase UR: 437k
Amex MR: 325k
Capital One: 260k
BA miles: 363k

Discover CB: $970 (most of this was arbitraged back in 2015 with the 10% cashback w/ Apple pay)

Anyone know if google sponsors US visa for EU citizens not living in the US? (Planning to move to NYC)

How do you get a discount on personal Amex card annual fee with a corporate Amex? Heard it’s possible.

If you’d like a referral to the Amex Platinum card with a welcome offer of 100,000 points and 10x points on restaurant spend worldwide in first 6 months, let me know. DMs are open too.

Do @masterCard gives international relocation? Or visa sponsorship for internal job transfer ?

I used to live in the US for 7 years with H1b and left it in dec 20. I still trade stocks on Robinhood and TDAmeritrade but not sure what should I do for taxes for 21. Do I file it or not ? Since I haven’t let my brokers know that I’m outside of the US they send me tax forms. Any thoughts? Advices?

Recently got the Amex blue cash preferred card with 6% cash back on groceries.

How is this applied? I can't seem to figure if the money is coming off statements automatically or if I have to do something to gain the value.

Also whats the easiest way to see how much you've earned from this?

I'm finding Amex hard to navigate

Question based on another’s recent post. Are there any firms in the U.S. that focuses on forensics within the Oil & Gas space for or with connections to the Middle East?

Long story short, had done Arabic language classes in school and was an Alternate recipient (no real merit and I ended up withdrawing) for the Boren / NSEP fellowship in the Middle East. Funny enough it was actually supposed to be in Qatar. Would love to explore that again.

Something that severely gets into my nerves :

I advise clients on tech and sometimes help them debug stuff. This client told me they tested the solutions I gave and that it didn’t work, and requested a meeting to sort it off. We schedule a meeting. I just inspected their account and they haven’t tested shit, I can see the same code mistakes, they never tried to change anything.

I’m pissed. They’re basically wasting my time and I don’t even see the point in meeting with them.

Advice?

I worked as a Treasury Payment Coordinator for 5.5 years, my WPM is over 66 with no errors and I can consistently answer over 200 emails a day, with great KPI scores. In August I was let go with no warning, citing “budget cutbacks” but they kept my teammate with low scores on everything.

so I just had my quarterly feedback meeting w my boss and my negative feedback was that I never turn my camera on so it comes across like I’m unprepared.... it was partially due to circumstance but also in part because I’m insecure about being seen as less than without makeup and professional clothes..thoughts?

Did anyone see the post in the Work-Life bowl posted by the analyst? Saying that he(26M) was scared to be judged at corporate events for his gfs(19F!!!) hair color & tattoos? If you didn’t, please check out the comments. And then remember that these are men in the financial industry, that could very well be your coworkers. The grooming. The objectification. I am disgusted, but not surprised.

Any ladies work in FinTech? Interested in what your salary is. I work for an insurance carrier but manage our relationships with our platform partners, manage firm relationships to leverage those FinTech partners, do training/webinars, create marketing, develop strategy, collaborate across multiple internal business partners to create opportunities while also being the SME for the platforms. My job is so new and so random? That it is hard for me to determine what my true worth is.

Would you say this was unprofessional, or would you have done the same? I was called out to present on a call mon night on which I got humiliated with questions: such as why are you telling us this, what even is this that you are sharing, kept getting cut off to explain myself. I was of course the only woman in the meeting. I literally cried after that’s how awful I felt. So today, similar call was scheduled, I just rejected, said I had something urgent come up and didn’t go.

Hey all! Recently I got a message from a recruiter from Morgan Stanley to apply to some roles. For those who work there, how do you like the culture of Morgan Stanley? Do you feel there are a lot of growth opportunities?

In a few years I am hoping to start a family and would like to stay at an organization for at least a couple of years. So I’d also like any input/comments on the benefits Morgan Stanley offers.

Currently I work at Citi and I am a black woman so that’s why I ask about culture

Hey all, what’s your opinion on providing 2 Week notice? Do you think it’s still standard or depends on the situation.

I quit my job at a bank call center (MF dealer) didn’t give out a 2 weeks. I’m finishing up my licenses and school starts in 2 weeks. I’m 22 with 3 years of banking experience, 1.5 years of investment associate experience. Do you think that leaving without giving a notice will follow me in the future? It’s a call center, and I was not able to control my schedule so we always got it 2-3 weeks in advance but couldn’t plan ahead. Will school/scheduling be a good excuse if my next employer asks?
