I had walked into a best collateral store and sold a few unused electronic items. I had to give my drivers license and finger prints. Now, I feel very vulnerable that I had to share a lot of personal information. Does anyone see any risks disposing old items in this manner and sharing their personal info? It would be good if anyone can share their own experience. It would help alleviate my anxiety.

$325k TC at MBB in a non-generalist (still partner track) path. Love the intellectual variety, smart colleagues, flexibility (WFH has let me take occasional 2-3h windows during the day for personal activities) - can’t take the stress anymore. Are WFH industry roles at the $300-500k TC level really that much less stressful?

Are my crypto profits taxed?

Well yes. Crypto is taxed like stocks & other types of property. When you sell for a profit, you are required to pay tax on the gains. It’s called capital gains tax.

1. Create a competitive shop that will steal all of their clients in the future, forcing them to acquire you today.
2. Become friends with every person at the agency and have them all refer you on the same day.
3. Just win all of the awards.
4. Start showing up to their office with big ideas, and complain about HR not being able to find you in the system occasionally.

What do you do with your decent clothes when closet cleaning? I have mostly 18/20- 22 sized clothes to give or sell given I’ve lost some weight these months. I recently sent clothes to Buffalo Exchange (I’m in NYC) but they only send you one bag at a time.

Helpful guidelines:

Selling posts should include
1. Pictures
2. Brand
3. Size
4. Price
5. Condition

Payment method to be decided by the buyer and seller, but PayPal goods and services is recommended for protection.
