How much is in your emergency fund? General rule of thumb is 3-6 months expenses but curious what people in this industry/city’s actual numbers are.

Whoever says have a 3 months reserve is grossly underestimating reality for most. Plan on having a 9-12 month cushion. Seriously.

I knew ageism was a real concern coming into this industry so I’ve been fiscally conservative from day 1. I have at least a 2 year cushion, thankfully. Was laid off last year and it’s looking like I’ll need it.

I approached it differently. When I was making less and have less net worth I had around 4-6 months of saving in my bank account. Once my net worth passed 500k mark I started invest everything. The way I see it is that those 6 months of fund will be wasting away in my bank account by not putting them to work. If I need money when I’m laid off I will sell some stocks.

I have roughly 6 months in cash. If needed, I could liquidate stocks. Trying to build up the cash reserves now, but it’s hard. I agree with Critical, 3 months is nowhere near enough. I think everyone should have a year’s worth.

For the past several years I've had about 6 months worth of critical expenses in my HYSA. Now I'm working towards 18 months and beyond. I have a family and it would help if I slept well at night knowing that I can take care of them for a full year with zero problems.

Big fat zero. Salaries have to keep up with cost of living in order to make any progress in savings

A year of emergency fund is a lot of cash laying around… I have maybe 4 months currently working towards 6

Hello all! I am looking for a job in finance/investments, but I’m having trouble attracting attention from employers. I have a finance degree from UGA, but all of my experience (3.5 years) is in sales (tech and real estate), so no relevant internships unfortunately. Any advice on how to market myself better and where I should be looking would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Fishes,

Joined LTI recently in P3 band. However not allocated any project. Got a call from the resource management team to relocate, which I rejected upfront as I was promised a role in the location I am posted. It has been over 2 weeks since I am in bench. What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.
