If you’re saving almost 40% of your post-tax income, I’d say that’s pretty damn good in NYC

Cmon D2! Be nice! When there are people on fb bragging about 200-300k salary figures, OP is not doing anything remotely close to that. He is just looking for an opinion, maybe a little validation

Damn good OP. Hopefully you’re maxing out on 401K as well? With no debt, now is the time to save so seems like you’re on right path.

Keep that up and before you know it you'll make more from your savings than your work.

I hear this cited from time to time, but it’s so hard to imagine that being true until you are late in the game. The only exception I can think of is heavy real estate investment, but that takes a lot of time and energy to set up at the level we’re talking

Question re: salary. I’m thinking about accepting an offer at a small (4-6 attorneys) transactional firm. I would primarily be working on NDAs for clients. The role sounds great (no billable hours, fully remote, flexible hours/ can work from anywhere); however, the salary is $70K. I’m a new attorney, with only one year of experience. Does this salary seem low? If so, any advice on what someone in my position should ask for?

Curious how other marketing teams like to share resources internally. I'm considering creating a centralized hub where departments can access news, branding information, logos, premade materials and basic templates like letterheads. I'd also like to be able to give specific users access to specific things (ie I don't want everyone to have the logo vector).

Any suggestions or thoughts? Know any software for this? My instinct is just to build a website or page with logins, but open to options!
