Looking for some advice, planning to buy a house and would like to get a big house with a big yard in a good school district. Currently me and my wife make ~350k a year in NJ. Our budget doesn’t allow for the size/amenities of the house we want in the neighborhood we’re looking to buy. An option could be to wait a couple of years and start the search again when we have more savings. But that means renting till then. Few factors to consider:
1. No student loans 2. We want to start a family.

3D printing. Industry on the uptrend, and most stocks still massively off their 2014 highs.

SSYS would be a 6x return just to get back to ATH, and has been flat for 5 years. It’s currently at the low end of that range. That tells me that the risk is low compared to the potential/likely reward over enough time. Using this kind of strategy was successful for me with crypto. What do folks think here?

Anyone have other similar investment ideas?

Does anyone regret joining a boutique consulting firm? I signed with a startup out of college (spring 2020) whose founding partners were all partners/Sr leaders at a few T2s. Our firm is super small (dozen FTEs) but does really good work (we charge premium rates and work super cool projects). I’m just having second thoughts as exit opportunities aren’t as prevalent as I thought, the pay/benefits don’t match industry/risk of joint a startup, and I’m not getting the network of a Big4 or MBB

At a career crossroads. Post MBA, probably will make Manager in next year or two. Can go back to industry in a local office leadership role with a pay bump OR stay on path to Manager. Industry role could potentially turn into something bigger down the road (regional or potentially executive leadership). Or I stay in consulting and the work I’m doing is project management. Not the “consulting” I signed up for.
