I disparaged my previous boss, fatal mistake. Never made it again .

Jerk FA, had me do a math 20 question test to determine if he would hire me or not. No one could pass that test. What he did not realize was I tutored college math. He gave me college algebra test 🙄. One was an economics problem. I got 1 wrong and told him the other did not count unless he gave me the formula

One interview I was there for 2 hours getting grilled by 4 MDs and then at the end the main interviewer told me that they did not want me because of what I said when they asked me what I envisioned myself doing in the future my answer was managing portfolios

Fell asleep

In house interview- I am going to hopefully the final round of interview to meet the whole legal team. I was asked about my availability, and it will take 5 hours if in one day. Should I split to multiple days? Will it cause any issues? Anyone on both sides can speak from their experience? Thanks!

Everyone has a different perspective on this but would love to hear yours. Someone has debt ranging say 4-5% interest rates. Do you attack debt more then investing to move towards a debt free life or do you go after investments since they return historically above that then paying down closer towards retirement. I know the latter looks better on paper but what about the psychological factors of being debt free and the guaranteed return on interest savings.
