But don’t you think it’s worth it to get into this mindset yourself and have control of your finances?
I suggest you start to read some personal finance blogs and YouTube channels.
All the info that you want to pay for us out there for your free consumption.

That info is definitely out there. I’ll pay for someone to do that. That’s why I’m asking for the referral out there. It’s not something I want to do myself. I’ve got my basic calculators and am comfortable with my FIRE path. I want a second set of eyes and validation.

Letsmakeaplan.org is a good start, I think something like 30% of CFP designees are in that directory

He will give you common sense advice and keep your expectations grounded.

Cool. Thank you.

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction.

What are your thoughts on the Scrum Master role? I’ve worked with a few now and out of 5 of them, only 1 seemed to be of any help.

I feel that the role should be reserved for employees with experience in the systems they work in.
