I’ve always avoided anything with investment banking because I would think that they are a usual bank with interest dealings. However, I have been searching different IB and their descriptions and none of them seems like a conventional bank. They are more like a source of investment for a certain industry like healthcare or real estate. If I find a job at a ‘small investment bank’ who focuses on healthcare or real estate under the role of valuation or something, would that be haram?

Does it always make sense to max out your HSA? I have ~$6k parked there now as a healthy 28 yo with virtually no healthcare utilization

Hi All,
I recently learned that we can get our PPF limit from 1.5Lakh per year increased and so does it increase in 80C. Is that true? And if yes, how can it be done?

Goodbye XRP! Thanks for the awesome gains and good luck hitting that absurd $100B market cap 😁

Hi fishes, need urgent advice. How is the HDFC Index Sensex Plan? I have invested 75K but it's in loss as all others. Should I continue to average it out or stop investing in it? The loss is higher in this compared to other funds.

For those of you who got out at 10, do you wish that you rode it out to 20? I’m at a crossroad and I’m not sure what to do. Have some active/reserve time, wrapping up graduate school, and am now considering either a) come back to the business world or b) go active and retire before 50 and live off a nice pension. Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.

How much money do you have saved up?😳

Hello all!
I'm 26, I studied economics but I don't know why I'm not much into investing/trading. Someone else like this?
I recognize this is not a very good approach for someone with money "knowledge" and I would like to change this mindset. My main weakness is that I easily get bored of following the market and that I do not see big opportunities. Any advice?
Where to start learning, general advice for LT and ST investments, things you learnt, books that changed your pov on the topic etc.

Thx!

So was talking to this girl (we’re both mid late twenties) i met thru mutual friends and we hung out a few times/ texted a lot. I eventually had to move cross country and we slowly started texting less frequently & at a certain point she kinda ghosted me (lol I didnt pick up the signals). Recently found out I’m going to be going back to the same city in 6mo and theres a good chance I’ll run into her consistently since mutual friend groups/events. I dont want it to be awkward everytime…advice?

The older I get and the more I think about raising my own children, I keep thinking how can parents frame religious duties like fasting as something to look forward to. I think volunteering as a family can help install the value of giving back and zakaat. How can one make Ramadan and Eid something to look forward to when holidays like Christmas seem to be purely joyous occasion that one doesn’t have to put in work for like fasting for Ramadan?

What are best high-end Halal places or places with Halal mean in GTA (Toronto and burbs)?

Salam, given the recent hiring surge at MBB, I'm thinking of applying. I was wondering if someone would be open to chat, I want to learn more about the work and culture at these firms. Thank you

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

Any strategy groups or MBB folks hiring? 3 years experience out of undergrad across multiple industries/functions. Looking mainly to learn about diff experiences and any potential opps (if applicable)
