NRF matched Millbank in TX yesterday

This is an emotional dump rn. It may be lack of social interaction but I'm really frustrated lately. I feel like I lost last 2.5 years of my life with ongoing lockdowns and job instability in the first half of the pandemic. I was 28 turing 31. I get good dates but -ve self talk
Inflation is high & coming from a low income family where you're supposed to help your parents is driving me nuts. Although I make a good salary, after rent, car insurance, there isn't much left (unfav currency exchange)

Do you have a prenup? What does it involve?

How big is to big for an initial investment property. Theres a 20 SFH portfolio for sale by me for about a mil. Is this to big to start with initially? I'm less worried about the Financials (feel comfortable on that end) and more worried about the managerial aspect.

I work in sf and Nyc and have now saved enough where I’m wondering if it makes sense to buy rather than rent an apartment as an investment. Tricky part is I’m still quite young and this wouldn’t be my lifelong/family home. Have also considered buying in less metropolitan areas and renting them out for passive income. Curious if anyone’s gone through this process before and have thoughts ?

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?

Better mortgage vs. Rocket mortgage - anyone shopped with both and what swing your decision?

Does Amex welcome bonus jail apply to all cards like platinum? Also any way to get out of it(or at least know you are denied bonus before you get a 5/24 chase hit on you)

Newbie here. Did any one engage a financial planning service? I’m 34 with young kids, no debt, and $300k in cash. Absolutely no other financial/estate planning and overwhelmed!

What’s the best site to put your condo on rent other than Kijiji & MLS?

Any tax accountants/attorneys in here? What would happen to the 401k of a foreign worker if they cannot longer maintain an immigration status and have to go back home? What about a ROTH 401k? Assuming they made after-tax contributions, would they still be able to take tax-free distributions if they are non-resident aliens for tax purposes?

i’m at work literally stressed about $3.5k (spread across there states) and this is why i can’t stand state taxation.

How do I configure a stop loss in bittrex? Is it even possible?

If JetBlue moves my departure time by 3 hours can I get a credit card refund or only travel bank?

From now on can we start saying WHY we think news = 🚀 🚀 🚀. Reason: people lose their minds when they see *bank/big corp + crypto* and forget to ask why the news = higher price.

Anyone trade options on JPM You Invest? They have a bonus running right now and wondering if it was worth it for general investing and options trading.

Received less salary this month also. (Same amount as last month)
Why is this happening? Too much tax 🥵

Hi EY people…who is the 401k provider for you? Vanguard?

When you look at all these stupid ideas trying ICO, it definitely feels like dot com bubble 2 is approaching. I still think a bulk of investment is going to more legit ideas, but a lot of alt coins are gaining higher valuations. When do you think we will hit the burst? End of 2018?

Booz Allen fish…Trying to gain some data for comparison. How many people are on your admin team? How is team morale? What’s turnover like? Are employees awarded or recognized for their work? How often? What about promotions? Are they happening regularly? TIA!

I am legitimately worried that Trump might take the country down or start a civil war. This is legitimately weighing on me. Does anyone have any words of wisdom?

Submitted lot of application and referrals as well, but no calls from any recruiters. Anyone else facing similar situations?

I know we're supposed to live every day like it's our last, but damn it, after a long, stressful week of work, I'm so happy to just lay on my couch all night with some takeout and a cocktail!

Anyone ever mount a tv in their apartment and then suddenly hear way more noise from your neighbor?

After applying for a analytics role at Instacart, got an email for a codesignal. Anyone had the same recently?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

Can someone tell me where should I put my money, Roth or traditional? Should I also contribute to hsa? How do I max out all contributions and benefits?

Anyone have any insight into the Dallas office of Holland & Knight? Thoughts, feelings, concerns?

Do most firms start reporting years in September or January? Prior firm did an August year for counting hours and then another did January (both Amlaw 200). Looking at an Amlaw 100 to lateral in the fall (so trying to anticipate how much of the year I’ll have). I’ll ask what bonus/reporting year but just curious if most follow the same.

Anyone have any guidance on how the Roe v Wade situation has played out at work? Anyone come into any issues with Partners? Or anyone impressed with new policies they’ve brought in to accommodate the issue?

Any Intel on Sidley Houston office? Transactional in particular? Culture etc.

What's the best firm to work for in Dallas? Genuinely curious.

Should I move to Dallas, Houston, or Austin?

Looking to lateral to the Dallas area as a junior associate. Anybody work with some good recruiters? Or does anyone know of any openings?

I wasn’t sure which bowl to solicit advice from so hoping to catch a bite here. I’m currently in ID. Of course, I want OUT! My interests are L&E and corporate. My options are 1) wait it out where I am in hopes to switch to L&E or 2) in house oil and gas industry transactional work. What would you do and why? I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.

Anyone have insight into Shearman & Sterling, Dallas?

Intel on Haynes & Boone? Environment/hours/reasonableness of Partners/comp??

Not necessarily Big Law specific but any firms hiring 2-3 year L&E associates in the Dallas area?

Hey everyone, I promise not to hound anyone! I’m a Houston recruiter. Focus on associates in TX only. Law firm side - not in house. I have Big Law openings in real estate, M&A ( public and PE) with large signing bonuses, finance (rare opening with NYC firm in Houston), project development and exec comp. Open to relocation candidates. Check me out on LinkedIn as I post a ton. Would love to set up a call.

Are there any recruiters that y'all recommend for lateralling in Dallas? I'm a junior associate in L&E if it makes a difference.

recommendations for firm with good real WLB and open to remote work in Dallas or Atlanta? Doesn’t have to be true big law. Terrified to get it wrong…again… for the 4th time. 6th year Real Estate.

I’m a non-TX immigration attorney mentoring a UT student who went to my undergrad. He’s done incredibly well in OCI and pre-OCI. Thus far, he’s landed interviews with (all in Houston): Baker Botts, Sidley Austin, Kirkland, Winston Strawn, Reed Smith, Norton Rose, and Locke Lord. Also Perkins Coie in Dallas. He’s leaning transactional, but also open to litigation. Any insights/advice on these firms in the TX market? Any to avoid?
