Angel investors : What returns do you expect when investing? Also what’s your range of investment?

Out of country friend who was visiting me in the states reimbursed me for his hotel/flights in crypto (~2k) which was sent to my wallet. I’m planning to withdraw to coinbase then to my bank but want to make sure I’m doing everything right. Do I need to declare anything or do something special? Would i need to pay taxes on the reimbursement? Usually when I get reimbursed with Venmo or PayPal it seems pretty straightforward but not as familiar with rules around crypto

Been lurking on this group for a while. I’ve only traded stocks ever. What’s the best way to start with options? Any great video tutorials or websites that can help me understand the basics. I only have theoretical knowledge of options thanks to a derivatives class I did at college.

Is 160k good salary as a manager in New Jersey? With savings of 300k so far... I am wondering if it is a good time to go back to India.. I mean there is no end to earning more and more ..trying to settle on a goal on US money and saving .. after that I never want to regret once I go back .. I want to go back happily with no regrets and want to feel good about myself that I was successful enough ..

I stopped contributing to my 401K for the last three months in order to pay off credit card debt. I am 28 and have about 68K in my 401K. Was this a smart decision? I want to get out of debt as quickly as possible and I have no student loans or car debt.

How can I lower my taxes? I feel like I pay a LOT (30%+) but don’t get many benefits in return.
Single with no kids

I have a client who needs a 401k, or a solo retirement account w loan options. When I was at UBS/Ameriprise, it was no issue but now it seems tougher to find a firm that does solo 401k as a RIA's.

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home

I went from making $70k the last 7 years to now started a new job a month ago making $130k plus $10k bonus every year, and $60k in RSUs. I have $70k in my 401k and around $50k in savings. Want to get out of the Silicon Valley which has been home my whole life and buy in TX or AZ a ~$400k house. I have about $20k in student loans which my dad has offered to pay (wants to make up for never supporting me) but I’m waiting to see what Biden decides for student loans. Is this feasible? Credit is ~615

Does anyone feel like it’s difficult to gain acceptance and find allies when you’re a POC? I have attended happy hours, social events, and lunches, but I am not getting the same amount of traction as the other new lawyers who are white. Don’t know whether I should keep trying or just give up. Also don’t know whether it’s my personality or people at the firm. 😢

I would like some advice on what path to take after graduating as an electrical engineer, like what job titles are good to have as a stepping stone to advance my career, Please feel free to advise based on your experiences. Also any future certification recommendations will be really helpful.

If your an experienced staff or senior with hedge- fund experience and want to move to Dallas, DM me to discuss discretely. Honestly great team. Turnover has been low for last 18 months at 10%. Compared to 40-50% in other places. Crazy hours feb-apr, 40 apr-jul, 45 in Aug, maybe 50-60 that last week of aug/ early sept. <40 post 9/15. We have a need at the senior level to fill a gap. Seniors help is needed everywhere so if your interested, come cash in your chips!

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does? An example: I gave some ideas about deposition questions and some observations I made (I was asked about giving suggestions) regarding a witness and the attorney mentioned that he’s the one that had these great questions/observations. Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.

Hello, I am UCL student who previously worked at JLL looking for a referral for any of the consulting firms (Strategy &, Mckinsey, Bain, or others) in London or Dubai. Thanks in advance.

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?

How does this work? I desperately need an accountability partner

Hey Guys. Anyone here wanting to learn play a musical instrument ? I want to learn to play the keyboard and could use this bowl to avoid procrastination.

Plan: 1) Meditate am/pm 2) exercise 60 minutes every day 3) Loose 5 lbs every month. I think this is very doable 4) reach out to 5 clients per day. Any takers

Hi All, this probably sounds extremely dumb but need someone to keep me accountable to be very productive (I have trouble waking up and focusing). Anyone sailing the same boat?

This is going to be *the most cliche* thing to come out of this bowl but, I need someone to whoop my ass into studying for the gmat 🙏🏼

I’m looking for an accountability buddy. My initial goal is to lose 20 pounds in two months. To do this, my plan is to eat healthier and in smaller portions (track my food intake), and workout at least 3x per week.

Welcome! The purpose of this bowl is simple: keep posters accountable for the tasks they would like to have completed.

Step 1: Create a post regarding a goal you want to accomplish. Make it as (non)descriptive as you desire.
Step 2: Provide weekly update regarding the goal until it’s completed.

All incomplete posts with no update in 2 weeks will be removed.

I’m almost 300 pounds. I lost weight and gained it all back and more. It would help me if I can get a buddy to keep tabs on me. I will do the same for you

Happy New Year to all members.

May all your goals this year be realized & may you be imbued with the wisdom, understanding, strength, courage, and perseverance to make them come to life.

Hi! I could use an accountability buddy for two things: learning Portuguese and finishing my outside of work client work. Any takers?

I plan to start waking up at 5am to workout everyday M-F. Would love someone to check in with at that time to confirm I followed through. And am happy to check in with them whenever they plan to exercise as well!

I want to lose 20 pounds (starting at 165). I did really good for the month of July but now I’m losing steam. Any suggestions?
