Didn’t get promoted. Instead got a nice bonus and living wage increase. CD says he’ll help me try for a mid-year promotion. More smoke up my ass? Feeling flummoxed & played 😐

Hi Fishies,

I hold two offers, one from Capgemini (14F+1 Joining Bonus) and UST (12 F + 1 Variable). Which organization should I choose? Which is better from career perspective. If I ask for Counter offer from UST will they match Capgemini's offer?

Hi Fishes,

Hi Fishes. I got an offer in UK for 44k Pounds. Work location in UK is Birmingham. My current CTC in India is 19 lpa. Is this offer good enough? Please advise.

Looking for guidance. My fiancé and I are saving for a house (hoping to buy after we get married in June). I liquidated most of my stocks a while back and now we’re each contributing as much as we can to an HYSA. Outside of 401k and $100/week I throw in BTC, I have nothing in investments which feels very weird, but I simply don’t have the cash with a wedding and house coming up. Should I still be trying to put $250-$500/paycheck in an investment account if I can swing it? Seems like nothing

I'm coming to the end of a contract term and being converted to FTE.

The offer was presented to me by the hiring manager and not HR/Recruiter. To me it is a lower base salary offer than expected, so I asked for info on the total compensation package (base, benefits, bonus, stock/rsu, etc.), which I was told about when they took me on under the contract with the intention to convert.

Hiring manager sends me an email with only standard benefits, no bonus, etc. Are these red flags?

If anyone went on the WORK 40 puts, I suggest taking 25-50% profit here. There is enough volume to get a good price.

Hello Everyone! It has been three months since we moved after 20+ years in New York City suburbs. We probably bought our home at the peak. However, we are so glad we did it. Austin is a fantastic place and has so much to offer. People are so friendly and interesting. Lot of things to see. We live in Steiner and you can’t really can’t go wrong with bee cave, west lake, Leander or any of these suburbs. I highly recommend a home with a view and going into the city. Enjoy, If u are already here!

The most interesting research topic you've come across....?

We need to make colored shirts more acceptable at work. Pastels, faded colors, and specially light blue only looks good on people without skin pigmentation. 😞

How much do your personal beliefs influence your work, and in what ways? For example, if you were a Bernie Bro, would you ever represent Trump or a Trump-endorsed/affiliated person/entity, and vice versa? Do you think you have an obligation to turn down work for a client whose beliefs you personally find repulsive? Or do you think your obligation is to set aside your personal beliefs and act in your client’s best interest regardless of how distasteful you may find them to be?

I started a new job (with a huge bump) and they just don't really have much work for me (like max an hour or two a day and nothing billable) it's been almost a month. Am I right to be worried?

FCB wins Hershey’s from Anomaly… congrats FCB. Just want to say that, as an outsider looking in, I think that Anomaly you did a lot of good work on that account, like the 4:25 O Henry campaign and sending those Reese’s Pieces into space for ET. Sorry to see it move.

Hi Folks, any one in the group working as SRE or Devops roles in Jpmc

What do you think is the actual income ceiling for software engineering, broadly? I'm genuinely curious and don't even know what's possible

Having a really hard time with bar prep. Tried writing out an essay on a subject I'm relatively comfortable with and couldn't get beyond a couple of rule statements per issue. I've watched the lectures, read the outlines, and worked with flash cards. I was already a bit overwhelmed with how much I need to cover but I'm freaking out now. How do I get past these mental blocks?

Someone pls educate me on 401ks! If I earn 80k and my employer does a dollar for dollar match up to 3% of my contribution and then 50 cents on the dollar match for the next 2% I contribute, would the breakdown look like this:

3% employee contribution: 2400
2% employee contribution: 1600
First 3% employee match at 100%: 2400
Second 2% employee match at 50%: 800

Or is it based on the 19,500 401k max amount?

For the first time, maxed out my 401k contributions with 3 months to spare. Not sure but feels like an accomplishment

Is taking a loan out of your 401K for a down payment a good idea? Why or why not?

And we officially enters Bull market!

How do you do backdoor Roth? I’m thinking if it worth risk of doing it

Fresh immigrant here, moved in 2015, got gc in 2017. Current net worth in the US 169K (401K, investments). I make about 220K a year, but my spouse doesn’t work, and we have a kid with special needs, not much savings there. Currently live on rent - $3K. I’m selling my apartment in my previous country of residence, and it’s gonna be around $350K. What do you think is the best to do with those money? Buy a house, buy investment property, invest into market?

Quick question on Personal Capital — I just downloaded and set up the app. It looks like only 3 months of my Chase credit card transaction history will import to the expenses. Is this right? I can’t see a way to get any more data than that, which is fine, but just wanted to make sure this is normal. Thanks!

Other than the S&P 500 what other safe options do people invest in? Currently, maxing out 401(K).

Does the statement balance remaining on your card, even though it doesn't accrue interest, reflect poorly on your credit utilization?

Has anyone used PayUSATax to pay their federal taxes with a credit card? They charge 1.96%. I think some of the credit cards will give you effectively 4%+ back. Is it worth it to use? I owe $150K so the effective fee will not be small ($3K).

Anyone thought about switching fields to trading to get super good at it? My thought is that it’s a pretty lucrative field with lots of upside and even if you don’t do as well it’s easy to do from home casually and make some money if you’re a trained professional, which could help with FIRE if you need a low effort high reward side gig.
