I have a start date with the DOJ in July. Does anyone know if the debt ceiling will affect this, should it not get raised?

FWIW, I asked a former US Attorney I’m close to, and I was told it would certainly slow things down (if you don’t have your interim clearance yet), but things would still be moving along. Start date unlikely to get pushed, but if it did, not talking about months and months or anything. This was in reference to the Criminal Division but I suspect Civil would be similar. Of course every USAO and (and perhaps each section at Main Justice) will have some of their own discretion to handle things like this, but this is what I was told USAOs and DOJ have done in the past during government shutdowns, generally speaking. Now if we have an unprecedented default along with that, I would think it would amplify things a bit.

Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:

-One LLC, so only one PPM
-Multiple investors that can be onboarded anytime
-Multiple investments that investors can determine whether or not they want to invest in
-One K-1 per investor based on their investments and income
-Ability for the Sponsor/Fund to invest directly, indirectly and in equity, debt, Pref, etc.
To me this seems extremely cumbersome and would require multiple classes of (cont’d)

Can someone point me to some material where I can read about profit sharing vs 401k. I get the concept, but I am trying to understand is 10% profit sharing vested over 5 years better than an employee 401k match of 6%?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?
