Looking for help in advising my sister who has already "fired." She had a winfall a decade ago, moved abroad, and hasn't worked since. She is burning through cash and has asked me for help with damage control. 100% of her $1m is in non tax advantaged personal investment accounts. She has no earned income. I've convinced her to sell her house, so will be netting $370k I'll need to invest. Any advice on tax tricks or investment vehicles? She's 52.

When and how much of a raise should I ask for? Ive been working as a Software Engineer and Data Scientist for 7 months and I am making $70/hr. I got hired to work with python and I work with python, as well as C++, SQL, and NPSS. I have surpassed my boss's expectations time and time again and he constantly refers to me as the only source of good news in the engineering team. He just requested that my contract be extended until April 2024 and I would like for my value to increase.

At a different job I had a customer trying to swindle me in telling me that there was a deal in an item that never had a deal or promotion for sale so he made me scan the item 20 times before believing me. Obviously, he finally let it go but I scan it with an inventory scanner that showed me all of the sale price promotions if there were any

Hey all!!
Hope you all are doing good.
Can someone share your thought of how to deal with this situation. I am completely lost in terms of my mental health. Not able to overcome and accept this situation. I think this is right place to ask, as we all are going through the same.

What does your company offer as their 401k?

Consulting bowl I need your advice tonight. 5 YOE in corp finance (industry). Just got an offer for different finance (still industry) role - 50% raise to $165K TC plus two additional direct reports to me. However, I got my MBA to transition to consulting and am in beginning stages of two top consulting firms. I need to give an answer on the offer by tomorrow afternoon. What do I do? If I expedite the consulting firms processes they may (likely will) say no. Thanks

What amount do people normally put down for a car? Is it a percentage or flat dollar amount? I’m assuming it makes no sense to pay for the car in cash (the promotion is 1.75% APR).

Any tips on managing, avoiding or reducing tolerance besides “use less” or “take time off?”. Taking magnesium daily based on anecdotal evidence it helps.

First trimester pregnant and not feeling great- I’m a junior who just lateraled. I get to the office later/start working later, find myself naturally slower, generally uninterested, and demotivated. I’m so exhausted- I feel like my head will explode by only 4 pm. Does anyone have a similar experience? What were your typical billable days during this time? Did anyone make comments about you not pulling your weight? Any other insights? Thanks!

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Received an offer today that’s a 30k raise from what I’m currently making with 5k in relocation. It’ll be a move cross-country from VHCOL to VHCOL city. I think it’s a no-brainer to take but what other factors should I negotiate/consider? First time doing this so really appreciate the help. Thanks!

Has anyone added their parents to their health insurance plan or had experience helping their parents get a new plan? My mother is retired, 62 years old and healthy. Based in California. I would love to get her a better health insurance plan, but it seems like it is unlikely to add her to my insurance plan.
Thank you!

Hi Sharks and Dolphins,

How do you structure your tax filing when you have 4.8 Lacs anually Car allowance?

I have been offered 35.75 lacs fixed that constitutes 28.33 as guaranteed cash with 2.62 Retiral component (PF + Gratuity) and additional 4.8 lacs as car allowance. HR said that you do not need to buy car or anything else.
How should I navigate from this further? Also, is the amount offered as per industry standard ?

How much hike does BNY provide every year?

I am interviewing with 3 companies at the moment and another one reached out but I honestly don’t think I’ll have time for it because I work 15 hours a day consistently and all of these companies have so many rounds of interviews on top of take home assignments. Can I tell the 4th company to start my interview process later? Maybe I can go back to them if I get rejected at one of the 3.. is that an option?

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

Manager said no working from home today because we already had a day before New Year’s. But then he/ she does not show up in the office. We are all assuming he/she is working from home (green Skype)..

Looking at buying a house. Want to have kids in 1-2 years but ofc you never know how easy that is. Can buy a house closer to friends and more lively, but worse school districts (not awful, just worse) -- or can get one a little farther away, more residential, but better schools. What would you choose?

How much to expect in Cobra insurance costs? Description just says I have to pay my full premiums, but I don’t know how much ACN pays (so can’t calc full cost). Thinking of switching jobs to a startup and I’ve already met my deductible so might make sense to keep on my current plan. Anyone who used cobra, how much did it cost? Single or family?

Why do previous generations feel the need to belittle the hard work of younger people?

My parents always insist they used to put in as many hours as I do when they were my age, but I know it’s not true because I was actually old enough to remember it! (They could afford having a kid. I can’t)

For those who quit alcohol, how do you handle social anxiety when everyone else is drunk?

20 year road warrior here. My wife & I made it work through teamwork & commitment. My weekends were spent at home. Doing family things.

I know a guy who (pre COVID) traveled every week, yet found time to do 200 mile weekend biking trips with his ‘crew’. Almost every weekend.

His family vacations always seemed to include a 500 mile bike race or some other extreme event.

He is now doing this in Europe (according to IG).

How do spouses put up with that?

Dude sitting next to me on the flight takes his shoes off and puts them in between my bag and his bag. Dude.
