Leadership performance should be tied to how often you let your team take vacations

“Let” ones team take vacation? We don’t let our teams do anything. They have autonomy over their decisions. I’ll never stop someone from taking PTO, but I will do everything I can to make sure they know they’ll be better able to really unplug if they plan it in advance and coordinate coverage with their peers.

Agree! It should also be tied by much % of your team quits consulting after working with you (the leadership).

Disagree- lots of people use consulting as a launch pad for their later careers and have no intention to be “lifers”. I focus on helping my team members in this category to make the jump at the optimal time for their career. That isn’t a marker of poor management.

Do people tend to age out of wanting to FIRE?

In your 20s-30s, you don’t know much, you’re told what to do, you have few financial resources so you are tied to your job. Under these circumstances it makes perfect sense why you would want to FIRE asap.

But eventually you advance up the ladder, you are now the boss and your people do all the grunt work. You also have built up expertise which makes the job easier. And you are making the best money of your life. FIRE is no longer so pressing.

Does it bother you when someone you care about won't let you treat them (like on special occasions such as birthdays and stuff)? I don't know why it's upsetting me so much, and I'm trying to figure out what the root of my issue is. I'm getting overly emotional about it. It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.

Hey folks, very new to investing. I want to hold SP 500 in my Roth IRA. What's the major difference between Vanguard SP 500 ETF and the mutual fund which also tracks that index? Only difference I know is that vanguard mutual fund requires 3000 min investment whereas ETF doesn't. What other differences are there?

Landed a job in NYC. As much as I want to live there and will be moving in with my partner I think the most financially savvy option is to live in Jersey city to save on the city tax. Both our salaries would definitely go up next year so moving to the city would be a huge possibility in 2022. Has anyone else started our in Jersey city first ? Is it worth it or should I just try to make it work in NYC ?
