MD2......4 years until vested, a little more than 6 until I can comfortably retire. Love working with clients and practitioners, but SO tired of the politics/ego game. Is going internal an option?

I love teaching art but am having to teach remotely to 1150 kids, k - 5. Have about 54 amazing elementary art teachers in my district that share SO much! I could retire (34 yrs), but just don’t want to because I love what I do! Feeling like my students aren’t getting what they should because I am struggling with Zoom, Microsoft, safe YouTube, bitmoji, embedding, downloads, editing, etc. Anyone else feeling this way?

I’m 36 and I recently reached a net worth of 1 million dollars. I thought I was doing good but then I see other people with several millions and can’t help but wonder how they got there.
I feel I’m doing everything I’m supposed to (I save, I invest, I max out my 401k, IRA, etc...).

What can I do to upgrade my game and reach those higher numbers?

Does anyone know what happens to the unvested supplemental pension benefits for those going to NuCo?

Hi all- new to fishbowl. Not really sure how to use and explore the app yet but I saw this bowl and figured I would introduce myself. I am a wholesaler for 401K and I am able to partner with advisors who currently uncover 401K opportunities or are looking to learn how to. Reply if you are an advisor in the NYC area and interested in learning about how to expand your business.

What are some of the best perks at your firm? I think our best ones are 15% discount on stock purchase, 6% 401k match (full vest after 2 years) to name a few. Trying to see how other firms are

Both me and my wife maxed out company match on 401K but are below the annual limit. What are our options now to take full advantage of the annual limit? Neither of us qualify for Roth IRA.

Haven’t changed anything to my 401k contribution but my paycheck was $400 less than normal and I can’t figure out why!

Starting to put money in my 401k account for the first time as I just started my career. Looking for suggestions on where to invest the contribution in? (stocks, bonds, etc.) Vanguard has a lot of options to select from.
Any suggestion or help is appreciated!

Any A&M folks here? Wondering how benefits / 401k compare to Big 4

Do Jackson Lewis and Littler do 401K matching?

Any suggestions on how to get an adjunct teaching role at a university. Don't need money or prestige. I enjoy teaching and gives me something to do when I retire in ~10 yrs. Many colleagues who do this are big alumni donors. My Alma mater is too far away to be practical option. I'm an expert in a very in demand field - get quoted in articles all the time but have not been able to connect with anyone in academia.

I’m 24 years old, making 120k a year. I have about 65k saved in my. 401k, 7k in my ESPP, and 15k in my personal brokerage, no debt. I keep very little in my checking, only enough to pay bills, rent and enjoy a little. What more can I be doing to maximize my investments and extra cash. I just got a salary increase (120k) hoping to start saving more per paycheck! Any positive advice would be great. Big believer in compounding.

Fishes..part confession (thanks to anonymity) and part advice post. I am 45+ and apart from 401k didn't have any investment accounts (hangs head in shame). Finally got it together in 2021 and put about 350k in Vanguard target retirement 2020 fund. Got the shock of my life when filing taxes - the long term capital gains amount on my `1099 DIV I got from Vanguard increased my taxes to 5 figures! Is there something I am doing drastically wrong?

Hi! I’m doing some research on employee benefits (medical insurance, 401k, HSA/FSA, commuter benefits) and was hoping to connect with People specialists or HR professionals in the comp & benefits space. I’m trying to better understand any pain points or challenges you might face with utilization/enrollment. Anyone interested in connecting? Thank you!

Folks making more than £100K: How do you deal with the 60% effective tax rate on the 100-125K bracket? (HMRC gradually reduces your £12,750 personal tax-free allowance to £0.)

This is the first time it is happening to me. With one month to go until the end of the tax year, I'm thinking of making a one-off extra pension contribution next payroll.

Any other effective strategies with only one month to go?

Should you max out retirement accounts (401k/Roth) first each year before investing into a brokerage account(VOO ETF, for example). I like the idea of ETFs because they pay dividends and can withdrawal at any point. I am 24 btw. Thoughts?

I’m fairly new to the FIRE movement. When calculating your percent of savings, do you use your take home pay amount net of all deductions? For example, I contribute about 20% of my paycheck to my 401K each pay period, so I’m not sure if I’m suppose to be including this retirement balance in the calculation. I won’t be able to pull from the account if I retire early as there are penalties fees.

Have a coworker who volunteers for work but never ends up doing it. At what point does it make sense to go to the partner to address this? We’re both midlevels, and I’m tired of having to put in even more time every weekend to pick up his slack. If this were a junior, I’d address it with them first, but this is unacceptable from a fifth/sixth year.

I have practiced law for several years and still struggle with the feast-or-famine nature of my practice. (Sudden rush of client outreach, many emergencies, then … nothing). A famine week might be 3-4 billable hours/day. My practice area does not have a predictable annual cycle, like “year end” or “tax day.” Any tips from other attorneys for how to recognize, predict, and/or even out these periods?

For partners at Big4/ ACN/ other T2 firms:
Does your WLB improve after you make partner but stress levels increase since you are responding for revenue and for people. But in terms of delivery it’s the M/SM/D handling the work and the long hours?
Is that an unfair assessment? Is it a false goal to aspire to to become a partner?

Partners. Do team members just come and go from your perspective? Feeling very disengaged and demotivated… do leaders actually care to talk people through these low points in their careers or is this something we need to figure out on our own? Want to talk it out but feeling like a burden more than anything.

I’ve recently left the world of consulting and joined a tech startup and my role is to build partnerships with consulting companies and SIs. My working hypothesis is that referral bonuses won’t be enough of an incentive in formalizing a partnership with the likes of Deloitte Digital. You all make your money on implementation but our product is pretty simple right now and easy to implement. How else can startups create relationships with you? We want referrals & for you tell clients about us.
