One day we’re going to wake up and realize that we gave away our physical and mental health for stupid pieces of paper that they print out of thin air……

Idk if you’ve ever been poor but I’m pretty damn thrilled to have these pieces of paper.

I don’t think A3 is saying that the world doesn’t suck, just that the suck isn’t gonna end anytime soon so you might as well collect the fiat

I don’t know, when I see people struggling to get by in their retirement years or barely able to make rent payments, it feels worth it.

Well yeah, I’m talking someone who started in their mid 20s and doesn’t necessarily have a family to support. Or is dual income. The point is, as much as this job sucks, if you can avoid serious lifestyle inflation then you can realistically achieve financial freedom at a fairly young age.

Yup. I gave notice yesterday. Done!

I don’t work 24/7.

And that’s exactly right, A4.

OP - I feel you. I grew up poor, so I feel incredibly blessed to be in the position to make the money I do. However, I’ve realized that for me there’s definitely a point of diminishing returns where above a certain threshold, more money just isn’t worth the toll this job takes on various areas of my life.

totally agree. For me and my situation, that number’s about $350k or so

People will trade you cool stuff for those pieces of paper.

If you are talking in terms of fiat currency debasement, I agree with you. Need to diversify and continue to invest across all spectrums and keep cash at only optimal levels.

Wrong. Need to invest in crypto only 🚀🌛. We work too hard to invest like chumps and diversify. 🦍 strong together.

I worked at a smaller consulting firm about 12yrs ago. And the partner I was supporting had my dream business job. He would be in meetings from 7:30am until 6pm, with an hr for lunch. Also he turned off his blackberry at 6pm to spend time with his kids And all of the content was done by me and all he did was go to meetings and tell people his opinion. Never did one slide or worked in one excel file. I need a job like that. Lol

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about.

Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.

I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

Lateral that just went through first bonus season with the firm. Not in a major market but workload is comparable to major markets. Surprised at how low the bonus was.
