How is everyone managing the inauguration at work? With all the changes and possible impacts on government jobs, I’m feeling a mix of anticipation and stress. Are you planning to engage in conversations about it at work, or do you prefer to keep things strictly professional? How do your departments typically handle the transition periods like these? I’m curious to know how others navigate these significant events, especially considering the direct effects they might have on our roles and responsibilities.

For the folks who do freelance work, do you do more consulting / advisory (get on the phone and talk) or project work (deliverable based work)? What are your thoughts on a platform that focuses on video-conference based advisory work - and not the bid on project type of work?

I have significant equity in a property (300k+) and maybe another 200k across other properties. I have a decent amount of money in cash and already 200k or so in stocks. Would you consider pulling money through cash out refi and using it? I get nervous for stocks being so high. I have a few properties in pipeline already. How would you suggest using it (if at all).

I have 100k to my name. I’m thinking of investing in by going in with 3 other family members and buying commercial units. I was taught to rent where you live and own your investments so your not tied to it and restricted. To give context I’m 22 years old, and I see other family members having a headache selling their home. My question is do you guys recommend owning where you live vs renting ?

Any thoughts on West Hampstead as a place to live in late 20s thinking about kids in the next 5 years?

Anyone else having trouble focusing today? Every time I have a long break and come back to the office I’m reminded how much I don’t like my current job. ID Associate and I have such a hard time concentrating even after a week off. I find it mind-numbing and unfulfilling. I’m never excited to come to work anymore for the past few months now. Just found out from a legal recruiter that I’m also way underpaid here. Hopeful I’ll get a job in a diff area of law or find another calling altogether.

I have applied for several remote jobs for Elevance health in several different roles. Does anyone have experience as a nurse reviewer and know the salary range and if you work there do you enjoy it? Are the work hours flexible?
