Hey, visiting Austin from the north and think I wanna move here. Looking for a house . Single family 3 bd + and 2ba + . Wondering what good affordable neighborhoods to look in! Ideas and housing advice are more than welcome !!

Wife and I updated our 2022 financial model of income, stock vests and bonus payments (an exercise we used to do regularly and had neglected to do so far this year) and for the first time our expected taxable annual income crossed $1M for the conservative estimate (she makes more than I do).
Feeling shocked as I don’t think I ever expected us to be people making more than a million a year!! Just the amount of tax we will pay this year is shocking!!

Fiancé wants to buy a property in Manhattan right now…I’m not overly comfortable with it but i hate moving and can see the financial value in paying mortgage instead of rent.

Is this a bad time to buy / if so, should i pull everything into cash while we search? So hard to know what’s going on with the markets right now.

Help me understand: If you are Married Filing Jointly with MAGI >$129k trad ira deductibility threshold, but under the $204k MAGI Roth IRA income limit, why might someone contribute to any IRA if it ISN’T Roth??

Note: I understand you can contribute to Trad and then do a Roth conversion, but isn’t this the same as just contributing to Roth IRA if you’re in this MAGI range?

Someone works in RSM ?

I’ve been fired twice (2017 and 2021) and I always have the lingering feeling that it can happen again so I jump jobs before anyone gets the wiser. It’s not healthy and can impact me professionally. Any one else every experience this ?

Anyone works at PJT Park Hill PE? Would love to have a short phone call to know more about the company if possible. Thank you so much for your help!

Thoughts on Nautic in RI? Comp, hours, etc.

From the outside, I always thought of PE firms to be well-oiled machines where everyone is working hard but with a clear purpose. Now starting at an LMM as a senior associate I feel kind of lost. It’s chaos - every person above me wants something else and there are constant discussions, bickering and politics being played. Is this representative of other (LMM?) PE firms, or did I get unlucky? It feels like a tech startup lol.

Currently in ibanking as an associate and want to see if I can make the move to PE. Is the CAIA viewed favorably at all?

How hard is it to get carry and/or make partner at a PE firm? Does it pay more than MBB at non-partner levels?

Leaving MBB after ~18 months to join a MM GE fund as an associate on the deal team. I’m seeing some people leave MBB after ~3/4 years join PE Ops with higher comp ($400-600k+). Does Ops comp surpass deal team if you’re leaving from MBB instead of banking?

Have a first round interview with the VP of Talent Management at a PE fund tomorrow. What kind of questions should I expect? Would it be more technical or more focused on discussing my background and interest in PE and the firm? TIA!

What do you all make and yoe? PE associate. 1.5 banking, 2 in PE. 125 base. 165 bonus. No carry yet. Curious what your numbers are?

Curious if you guys have thought about opening your own investment funds.

I'm personally going through the process. I'm going for long-only/options strategy fund on 20-30 U.S Equities and ETF's. I have a couple of billion dollar fund managers on my advisory team simply from reaching out to them on LinkedIn. Happy to share my experience. Just about to go through legal.

Does anyone have any recent compensation surveys? I've seen the LitCap Survey and the Odyssey Search Partners but wanted to see if there were any others available? Trying to find market compensation for AvP and VP roles. Thanks in advance
