Rejection timeline?

I had a final virtual interview today with two managers (virtual position).

I usually assume the worst and think the interview went okay. There are some things that could've gone better but I don't want to dwell on them.

After the interview, I emailed my recruiter and asked for the managers' emails. I got even more anxious waiting for his response so I ended up finding them anyways and sending them thank-you notes. I interviewed on a Friday afternoon. Am I overthinking?

Hi, I have been with big 4 consulting for past 10 years. I am in talks with Novartis india on salary part. May I know how much one can expect for a BA role?

I’m in a rather peculiar situation. I have been in the HR field going on 4 years, I have over 11 years of management experience, I got my PHR last year and I recently graduated with my MBA with a concentration in HR this month. I am ready for a more challenging role. However, there doesn’t seem to be much available at my current company. However, I am going on 5 months pregnant with the expectation of being out in October. I feel like once I mentioned my pregnancy I was in a holding pattern.

Hi fishes. Can you tell me how to negotiate an early release from my manager? My np is 90 days. I told the hiring person that I can get relieved early since I really wanted the offer and also got it but now worried about it.

I’ve been in life underwriting for over 20 years and honestly have never enjoyed it. The strictly production related work is hard for me to stay focused and be interested in the job. Any ideas on what else I can do and still make decent money? I’ve always found it pretty stressful and would prefer a less stressful position.

Thinking about exiting tech consulting to work as a contractor and build my own consulting firm. Has anyone tried this? What were major roadblocks?

My dad used to run tech consulting firm in India, so I’m familiar with how things work, and I also have the connections (and infrastructure) there to start an office without too many problems. However, I don’t know where to find clients. Would I just respond to smaller RFPs (in the $50-250K range) and go from there?

Hello people,

I have received an offer letter. But they are checking my background, not doing my onboarding. 2 times my onboarding got postponed. It's been a long time. I have tried to reach hr multiple times. My career got stagnated.

What should I do?

For the past month I’ve been feeling more like a Personal Assistant than an IB Analyst.
Wondering if anyone can relate or if it’s just me?

My ctc shows 10lpa + 20lac esops. But I'm not sure if I'll get this 20lac stocks for free or do i need to buy them by paying? Distribution is 4lac per year for 4 years. Pls explain.

For those in longer relationships - does the sex life fizzle out? We’re a couple years in and it’s almost nonexistent. Everything else is great.

And how did you discuss an open relationship? Did that help at all?

I need more insight. I just got done with my on-site interview (flew 1,000 miles) they paid for everything. I had interviews with the director, CNO, and fellow managers. The CNO was fourth coming with all information and said they would develop me to reach my career goals. The managers were telling me the good school districts etc. and we’re agreeing with my answers during the interview. I’m probably going to end up over analyzing everything until I hear back. Any thoughts?

Hey guys, Im 25 and I have about 35k in the bank, 21k in retirement, 41k personal invested, 5k in crypto. No debt. Is it smart to invest more during this down market or save for a house/wedding or something else that’s smarter?

New to fire, started my first year in the workforce last year putting 13% + 1.5% employee match into a Roth 401k. This year I upped it 1% so 14+1.5% total now. For reference I made in the mid 80s in year one. Is this a safe contribution early in a career? Any tips, or suggestions on how to allocate my savings?

I don’t think I have enough saved (80-100k) to justify a financial advisor. But I also was never taught/learned about money management and planning. Are there any good resources or books in which I could learn about how to invest in my retirement?

Any good articles or some other related fire posts talking about how the year 2020 has impacted them?

If I roll my old employers 401k into an IRA this year, am I correct in thinking that what I contributed this year in that 401k still counts against my 401k contribution limit?

Will have a kid soon. Are 529s a good investment or better put that money in something else like ETFs? Has anybody done something else other than 529s. Would love to get some perspective. State offers tax savings

Anyone do FIRE after doing an MBA in a HCOL city? I’m curious how people who graduate from top mba programs and work in NY or SF as consultants and manage to do FIRE

What’s your recommendation if my new 401k does not accept pension rollover? I think the only 2 roll over options left are traditional/Roth IRA, right? If I first roll over the pension to traditional IRA, and then immediately roll over the traditional IRA to my new 401k, will I still trigger the pro rata rule when I do backdoor Roth in the future? I have never contributed to a traditional IRA or done backdoor Roth so far.

Should I throw my entire $6k of Backdoor Roth contributions into VTI or DCA in case of market downturn (ex: $2k per month)?

Fire friendly car? I have a bmw and it’s paid off but it’s a ticking time bomb. I want something more reliable. Should I trade in and get a Toyota? For purposes of fire, I could get an older model since they last forever. But the new ones are tempting and I would pay maybe $200/mo. Worth it or just keel the bmw?

Has anyone invested in TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities) before? I’m considering opening an account for my children and have read something about interests from TIPS can be exempted from federal income tax if used for higher education. What’s the pros and cons of investing in 529 vs TIPS? TYIA!

Where can I find a financial coach/planner that doesn’t charge $1500/yr? I’m not looking for a full on advisor to manage my money, just someone to help me look through my investments (401k, HSA) and other accounts to make sure I’m taking advantage of the right opportunities and have the right allocations & risk assigned. No trolls please. I’m somewhat new to this and come from a very financially-illiterate family, so I’m trying to get started on the right foot. Thank you!

Anyone here own multi unit rentals as a source of supplemental (or main) income? Looking to enter the space and would appreciate any wisdom/learnings you may have to share 🙏🏼

I am in my early 40's and have about $300K invested and some in cash. I have $70K in credit card debt (no lavish lifestyle, just 2 bouts of unemployment and some major medical expenses, even after insurance).

I live below my means, LCOL city, used car, max my 401K, save my bonuses, etc.

I am going to get a large bonus where after tax, I'll get a couple hundred thousand.

Should I prioritize pay off all credit cards or pay down half/some of the cards and use the rest for a house down payment?
