I went from making $70k the last 7 years to now started a new job a month ago making $130k plus $10k bonus every year, and $60k in RSUs. I have $70k in my 401k and around $50k in savings. Want to get out of the Silicon Valley which has been home my whole life and buy in TX or AZ a ~$400k house. I have about $20k in student loans which my dad has offered to pay (wants to make up for never supporting me) but I’m waiting to see what Biden decides for student loans. Is this feasible? Credit is ~615

Any insight on Ruder Finn? How is their healthcare practice? Is the work environment healthy? Typical VP salary?

SO and I are debating contributing to 401k this year since the rate of return is around -11% on our portfolios this year. I believe it would be better off saving the cash in my account.

I'm thinking of contributing again when/if the market picks up next year. Thoughts?

Anyone get a verbal offer where the hiring manager tells you they will be sending a formal offer letter, but be patient. No details on compensation, benefits, PTO, etc shared at all. It’s been a week and I’m still waiting. Not sure if this is an ominous sign.

I have been living in my midtown apt (condo) since Sep 2021. There wasn’t a COVID discount when I signed. Lease is ending 8/31/2022. I would love to sign another year and stay. What’s the best way to navigate this for the lowest amount of price hike? I don’t think it is rent stabilized.

My landlord has multiple apts and has not mentioned price inc. to me yet. Doesn’t seem to be on top of things. Heard there is a 30 day notice rule for landlords to increase rent by more than 5%. Please advise!

Recession aa gya bhaiyo

Today, I officially have enough money to pay off the entire balance of my student loans. Won’t pull the trigger until SCOTUS issues a decision, but having the ability to do so is such a weight off my shoulders that I had to tell someone.

Final McKinsey generalist Associate interview coming up. I understand the base is standard across North America but to what extent is the signing bonus negotiable? And/or if the base is negotiable?

Starting at Google soon in UK and wanted to know about WFH equipment.

Can anyone shed some light on what type of equipment Google will provide or that I can expense?

Hi fishes
Any idea how much it costs to upgrade to 700 sqft laminated flooring from carpet in Southern California ?

Guys I am planning for a business to set up in my spare room(Completely new home). Please suggest some ideas like renting a room, converting room to photo studio or so on. FYI I can’t do airbnb in Anaheim California as doesn’t allow short term rentals due to competition for hotels.

Plan is to purchase some time after 2 years or so. Primarily to save up for a larger down payment.

Here’s my plan of attack:
- $30K saved right now ($20K in IBonds and $10K cash)
- $90K saved by July 2023
-$130K saved by 2023 and target a $800K home

Location: Suburbs of Boston, MA

Any recommendations for a good water softener/filtering system which keeps the overall salt level low post-softening ?

Hi All,
Really need some input. We have our new construction done by April 2023. Builder is giving us 28,000 credits which can be used towards closing cost and buy lock rate for 6 months from now and giving us the interest rate for 6.75% for 30 years from US bank. But I also spoke to credit union they give us 5 ARM for 5.5% but can lock rate in feb 2023. So should go with the US bank with 6.75% plus incentives or wait till feb 2023 and thn lock rates(us bank doesn’t give us ARM rates).

Hi! European here who moved to New York and trying to buy a condo apt. Any tips on the mortgage process, any good providers here with good rates and no crazy costs? Condo is $450K and putting $200K down if helpful

In my market, you have to waive financing and mortgage contingency to even be considered. Annoyed this is now common practice. 😞

Anyone here willing to connect/talk about buying a house in Toronto. Would really appreciate it. I am just overwhelmed thinking about it and not taking any action.

What are people doing in terms of stashing money away for your first house? I want to buy within the next 3 years and I'm looking for any type of budget tips, credit card recommendations, safe and solid bank loans, or whatever you did that worked. Thanks!

What do you wish you knew before you began the home buying process for the first time? What would change if you could go back to the beginning of the process?

When do you know you've toured enough houses and should pick one from the list you've got? I've seen probably 15-20 homes, and put in one offer. How many homes should you tour minimum, and how many offers did you put in before you closed? I don't want to be too hasty and choose something just because, but I also think continuing to see homes isn't really making my decision any easier. Thanks!

Any good recommendations on home (single family, 2-storeyed) security camera systems?

For anyone in this bowl. How crucial is it for you to have a formal dining room separated from the kitchen? My son and daughter-in-law are buying a house for their future family and I'm trying to convince them a formal dining room looks better and makes things less chaotic in the kitchen, especially with kids. Am I out of touch? Or is it still important?
