How much do you have in savings (cash, 401k, etc.)? And how old are you?

For any real estate investors

22 years old and currently focused on using my left over income to invest and pay off my debt. I am set to pay off my college loans by next year and, when I do, I want to look into investing into real estate. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get into/learn more about real estate investing? Or how I can have enough knowledge on the topic to be able to invest wisely when the time comes?

Any books? youtubers? etc. How did you all learn about it?

I told myself I wasn’t going to do it. Re-assured myself I wasn’t going to do it. Told myself you’d know what would happen and still ended up gambling away a bunch of money I know I couldn’t blow. I don’t understand.

How do you guys set up your 401K accounts ? Since a lot of vanguard funds have bonds and I’ve heard bonds are haram to invest in? Would like opinions

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits. I actually think this could be a whole separate class for students of all ages. Learning about conflict resolution, growing your own self-regulation skills...it's really important.

Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of. I don't want to be plowing through our savings for selfish reasons like my mindframe at work, but I don't want to make our lives worse by being miserable. It's a matter of really ruining some of our financial future if we don't get money soon.

Medicaid plans are so dysfunctional. Has anyone else experienced this? I feel like I’m being gas lighted after working for big commercial enterprises and now working on a Medicaid plan. I’ve never seen so much resistance to change or legit resistance to doing anything to improve operations.

Starting to see a lot of compensation threads and even within the same city, the variance of salary is really noticeable. I didn’t expect the spread to be this high, especially in high COL areas.

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 !!

Recruiters. You tell me a range, I tell you it’s low.

Do you think, “he’s trying to game the system?” Or, “if his agency is paying that much he must be doing something right?”

Let's say you work remotely full time in private/group practice. Mental health or Wellness.
What's your maximum client load for a week? 20? 30? ... 10?

This bowl is literally a watering hole for thirst traps and I am here for it. 🙂

How many times a week do you ask yourself why you’re so terrible at advertising and why is it 1 billion?

Has anyone tried LinkedIn Premium while on a job search? Is it worth it, would you recommend, and why?

Been asked to present my current client’s plan and PCA in second interview for a role. Am I being over cautious by not feeling comfortable with this?

Empty calendar. Hungover. Chick-fil-A breakfast. Fuck yeah, Friday.

Has anyone worked on the creative team for Hilton corporate? As someone who loves travel (and Hilton hotels) this always appealed to me. Wondering if anyone can shed some light on the reality of working there.

Just got turned down for a job I really wanted. No interview. I even had a referral, but they didn't even look at my book! Feeling empty and worthless right now. I know I have inherent value as a human being but I am so desperate to succeed and can't seem to catch a break. Just wanted to vent. Thank you for reading.

Who’s negotiated severance? Any tips?

Advice/suggestions please:
Let’s say you were interviewing for a global client lead role - at the holding co level - for one of WPP, Omnicom or IPG.

What questions would you ask in the interview phase?
What concerns would you have?
If you had your pick of essentially the same role at all three of those holding companies which would you pick? Or not pick?

If you have any insight/two cents you up for sharing to help me out, thank you!

Now I’m curious.. BEST clients you’ve ever worked with? I’ll start - Disney, Fox theatrical.

Any tips for losing weight when you work 70 hours a week?

My #1 peeve about agencies is the old school habit of emailing everything. The most efficient offices leverage task/mgmt platforms to manage workflows/bandwidth. Crowded inboxes of nonsense = WASTE.

Anyone think the long hours in advertising are a turn off? Still young enough to leave the industry and make a change. Anyone see anyone do that before because of balance?

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️
