Just hit $400k. No one to celebrate with :) definitely in the messy middle but trying to just keep going strong

Thoughts on nepotism babies becoming successful A-listers? Is it because of their talent or mostly due to their connections? Can someone share some talented examples?

I've been working at my current job for about a year now and I'm finally beginning to understand how the company works.

It's not easy, though. It's a small company, which means there are only a few of us in each department. There is no dedicated training team, so we all have to learn new things on the fly through trial-and-error or by asking our coworkers for help. The management team seems to be pretty hands off when it comes to project management and project direction, so it's up to us engineers to figure out how we want to spend our time and who we want to work with.

Does google have office in Dubai? I am curious!

Hi All,

I am a full stack developer with 4+ years of experience. My tech stack is node, react, AWS. I am looking for a job change. So I am giving interviews for both frontend and backend. But whenever I am facing interviews, i am getting to know about a lot of new things which I was not aware of which is making me feel depressed ? Because I have knowledge of a lot of stacks but don't have knowledge of anyone in depth making me feel insecure now.

Hi! Anyone willing to refer me to OFRO at PwC? TIA!

What’s your experience with leaving a company every 2-3 years for more $$?

Post YOE and TC/year below

Anyone in AFS willing to chat about the practice and their experience? My brother found a role he’s interested in applying for, but curious if anyone could talk to him about so he could get a feel for it. I worked at Accenture years ago, but not in Federal, so I know nothing about it!

I am looking for ideas on how to teach spelling in the classroom.

When a company asks us to provide the offer letter we are already having , is it fine to provide it to them as it is confidential.

EBITDAD was bound to come up sooner or later

Hey anyway else here

Just joined this bowl and disappointed to find 80% of the posts are just people too lazy to read their employee handbook... I’m here to ask, any firms offers MilkStork as a benefit.

Has anyone successfully used an education benefit? What's the process?

Im interested buta little nervous about my firm because you have to pay up front and then get reimbursed.

Any insight to PwC tuition reimbursement?

If I decline health insurance at IBM, do I get a cash payment? I have an offer from another firm that gives me $5k... does IBM give anything?

(Wife has free health insurance via her city job)

I’m looking for feedback on PWC internal firm project roles, what is work life like?

When do you predict the dip? I've been waiting for so long, but don't want to buy now. VTI seems inflated.

I contribute 10% of my paycheck to my employee share purchase plan. Is this smart to do given the tax repercussions behind it? Is it smarter to invest less in that and more in my Roth or 401k?

Once you hit your FI number, what are your plans? 1 yr? 3-5yrs? beyond?

How do you invest and save for your children? I’m thinking about setting them up with custodial brokerage accounts but don’t want them to have a heyday at 18. Did you create irrevocable trusts or?? They are too young for earned income and I don’t own a business so no IRA investing opportunities here.

I have mostly passive investments. I was thinking the other day: what if everyone had only passive investments? Wouldn’t this create incredibly high amount of systemic risk? Are we all sheep??

Significant other and I crossed the combined $1M net worth mark this quarter! Mostly in RE and 401k so we will not be FIRE-ing but still excited to be in the 7fig club.

Sorry, need someplace to celebrate and you guys are awesome.

Are y’all waiting to do a mega backdoor Roth to see what they do about build back better this year or just moving forward with it?

Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls. It’s a modest Midwest city with ~100k residents but is a relatively touristy spot. It often feels like a MCOL area but I’m not sure how to adequately judge that, and it would be helpful to know when comparing salaries and the like.

27 F. Work as 1st year associate in Big Law NYC. Base salary $215k, bonus is ~$10k (lowballing), student loans are $150k, total savings are about $100k. 0 family money and will likely be supporting parents long term. Any advice on how/when to start investing in real estate. Currently have all savings in market (with personal investing in index funds or 401K/RothIRA/mega back door).

What’s everyone using instead of Robinhood? I just learned of WeBull recently but am not sure it’s for me.

Has anyone bought a commercial space and eventually rented it out that resulted in a positive cash flow? If so? In which city?
I’m on a visa in U.S and looking to potentially invest in commercial spaces rather than residential places.
Age:25
T.C: 102K

I have 10k extra to invest. How should I grow it? Any growth stocks to recommend?

I'm a Canadian on the TN visa working in the US and planning on maxing my Roth IRA (6k) and will have enough left to max my 401k this year, but am not sure if I should just use a taxable account over 401k due to tax considerations when I move back to Canada (likely 1-2 years from now). Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.

Listening to Rich Dad Poor Dad and I keep expecting every story to end “and then everyone clapped” 🙄

What is your savings rate for the year?
I am saving 66% of my take home pay and I’m pretty satisfied with it.

My monthly salary is around $6.4k after-tax. Living in NYC. Do you think it’s reasonable that I pay:
- about $1.5k on rent
- about $500 on utilities and subscriptions
- about $900 on student loan
- about $2k on food and etc.
My saving goals is around $3k so been trying to adjust my monthly spending.

Still using Ally Bank savings account, but the APY had dropped to .60%. Time to move. Any recs on personal savings account? This is my emergency “savings”
