Leaving Uncle D! How do i ensure I don't lose all those Amex points?

Anybody in here trade options? I trade Iron Condors and have been having success with that but would love to hear what other people have been doing

Looking to buy 35K marriott bonvoy points. Let me know if anyone’s willing to sell?

Thinking about buying a house in La Mirada and start a family soon. Any thoughts on La Mirada area?

How’s the work life balance situation at Amex for data engineers?

All my investment is in real estate - 1 primary and 2 rental. Total 3.7 M value and 1.7 mortgage pending. About 400k in cash. I’ve 0 RRSP. Is my investment strategy terrible?

Is it true that some* debt is good debt. I’m referring to student loans, interest is ranging from 2% - 5% (all federal loans). Total is 20k, is it smarter to pay it off immediately and ASAP or just stretch and put the extra money into investing? Note I just graduated this year, thank you guys :)

Tell me about your “About me” on your site. How personal do you get? How do you find the right balance?

Currently making 90k. Have an opportunity at a boutique consulting firm for level up and 160k but being hired for a single client team. On a work visa so concerned about potential downturns. Thoughts?

Best sign up bonus right now that is not the CSP and the Amex platinum?

What companies do you recently regret not investing in?

Just sharing! Landed in offer at AWS over five weeks ago and still waiting on a visa transfer update from US CIS. So many work updates from other folks in these five weeks moving in and out while I am unable to share an update with my folks or celebrate in anticipation of the final approval of the petition. Trying to stay calm and collected, but sometimes it takes a toll

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?

I canceled my Amex paid membership as we aren’t traveling for work yet. Have 100k points to redeem in 2 days. Don’t want to waste it on target or Walmart gift cards as they have terrible conversion rate. Any suggestions? May be transfer to Emirates points as I will travel to Dubai in a year?

How many of you max out all tax-advantaged space, i.e. 401K, Roth, and HSA, and is it doable to live on what's left?

American has a promo listed on their app - use Rocketmiles to book a hotel and earn X000 American points. Has anyone here used it? If I book a Marriott properly, can I apply my Marriott retroactively?

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Is it safe to buy new home now with high interest rates ,high home prices and recession in near future?

Realization: I'm good at my job because I'm single

Would you rather try to get promoted/climb the career ladder or try and grow your side hustle into a larger enterprise while working your day job? I’m at a point where I’m very comfortable where I am and ready to move on to higher paying but more stressful roles. At the same time I’m also pursuing a side hustle that can be lucrative if done correctly but comes with more risks. Would you 1.) try and get promoted while pursuing a side hustle or 2.) stay in current role and focus on side hustle?

Deloitte guys - Serious question.
How is Analytics & Cognitive doing at D? I have an offer and I am not sure if there will be layoffs again. I am on work visa so will be difficult.
Role will be for Google Cloud & Analytics. Current job doesn't suck much though.

So this might be a better place to post this and ask this question: Uncle D has announced explicitly that most people won’t get a pay raise & bonus this year except for those promoted and high performers. Amid this crisis, are companies including other big 3, MBB, FAANG, boutique consulting firms still giving high raises and issue stocks? Can you share the impact from your firm?

Thoughts on Protiviti consulting? Not sure if its worth pursuing, mainly because I’ve not been exposed to their work

Taking PTO until I get paid for a referral bonus (currently am on the bench). I'll be out of pto, so the Friday I get paid I will leave without any notice. Is this bad? (Continued)

Are MBB and Boutiques doing this massive hiring blitz with double referral bonus etc like the big 4 are? Or did they not fire all their people last fall?
