Hi,

A car accident a couple years ago resulted in shoulder surgery. I found out this week my settlement amount would be $80K+ (take home). I’m mid 20s + debt free already with a 50% savings rate. Having an internal struggle because part of me wants to enjoy some of it because of the pain that this chapter of my life caused me but then I realize how far ahead this can get me on me FIRE journey. Thoughts?

So I’m thinking of taking a pharmacy tech course at my local community college. I already work in healthcare on the admin side (authorizations, front desk etc) & looking to get a certification that’s quick & don’t have to go back to school.

How tough is it to break into a FAANG PM role at mid-level if you have less prestigious experience? I have 10+ YOE in product, but some was at a tiny meh startup that fizzled out, some was in the digital wing of a large old healthcare org, and though my current role is GPM at a “name brand” tech company, it’s on the smaller side. Went to a good-but-not-Ivy school. What qualifications and experience are FAANG companies looking for when hiring mid-level PMs? Can I break in at mid-level from here?

I don’t like my firm and trying to switch. I’m a licensed rep but not a FA, a 401k guy. Interviewers always ask why I am looking to leave. I try to explain the structure isn’t a good fit...

in a high paying sales job where i could do nothing and make 240k total comp or work my ass off and get capped at ~300k total comp, after taxes doesnt seem worth it. i have zero motivation to work yet zero motivation to leave. doesn’t seem right

What stocks are you following?
Personally a few I’m following:
-VERY: like Beyond but beans not soy, taste better, order wait time or 7 months, and not followed much
-MindMed: risky but for sure think psychedelics will be used at some point in next 5 or so years...Pathways IPO could be better though. Even if these aren’t the right ones, some of them will pay off hugely
-FSLR: solar panels are the future
