I just hit $200k NW and it’s been 7 months since I made my post (link below) about hitting $100k NW in Dec ‘21.

I’m just mind-blown since it took me 2.5 years to get the first $100k and it’s snowballed from there. I’ve gone from $82.5k TC to $238k TC plus a $20k appreciation on a house I bought at the beginning of the year

Can’t really talk about finances with friends/family so this is the only place I can share milestones like this haha…we’ll see if I can hit $300k by EOY

How much hike did you guys get this year?

Idk if this is the right bowl, but it's technically comp related. What do people say when asked about current salary during interview process?

Any recommendations on anything apart from coinbase to buy BTC in usd? I am unable to find any platform using it. Please let me know if you guys are aware of any cheaper alternative. Want to try altcoins but looks most need BTC which in the end can only buy on coinbase. It takes higher fees and time for buying.

Sign on bonus for EYP post-MBA Consultant role? Strategy group if that matters

Plan to go to B-school in 3 years (1 year out of UG now). Long term goal is entrepreneurship. Have offers at a MBB firm for a generalist consultant role and at FAANG for a strategy role. FAANG offer is slightly higher (though both are a 50+% bump on my current comp). Both would have me reset to entry level. Which one should I take?

Etrade account- Can someone recommended some of the money market funds available with them? I have bit of cash money left which I don’t want to invest in stocks.

My investing strategy is just to DCA into an S&P 500 index fund and keep buying and holding. If I understand correctly, the sole disadvantage this has compared to a tax sheltered retirement account is that the quarterly dividends will be taxed? But even so, they’ll be taxed at a lower qualified dividend rate since I’m automatically reinvesting those dividends.

I don’t get why even the most reputable financial news still try to attribute market moves to people. It’s not individual investors who are in control of day-to-day moves anymore, it’s algorithms.

Thinking of moving $10,000 out of savings into a Vanguard mutual fund. Any recommendations for allocations? This $10,000 would most likely be used as part of a house down payment in the next 5-6 years

Went to a club yesterday and we paid $20 pp for cover just to find out that it was empty and there wasn't really a clubbing vibe. Bought a round of beers and we were so bored that we decided to leave in a few minutes... I feel robbed but at the same time I guess there's not much I can do, or is it? Im not sure if a CC charge back even applies in this case. Anyone had the same experience?
