So I’ve worked the last year for an in-house creative department. Last month the contract was about to expire and I was told that they were renewing me for another year. Then earlier this week, my agency contact told me they had moved my end date up to mid October, but that I shouldn’t be worried about my job. And that most companies are extending month to month. Guess I’ll be putting out feelers now. Sigh.

Sharks! I’m 33, currently working as a Java Architect (11.6 YOE, 40 LPA INR). I’m planning for retirement at my 40. Currently owning a house worth 1 Crore INR where I’ll be closing my home loan by this August. Please suggest diversified options of Investment for my retirement. I don’t have any investment till now (except the house) as I used my whole income to close off the Loan which I took in 2019.

If the layoff is not necessarily to go through performance improvement plan, then is there a standard dashboard look to evaluate ourselves about how close we are at?

I am looking for a referral in Deloitte MTS practice. Let me know if anyone could help. Thank you.

Hi All, how much should I expect to pay for someone to do my taxes for me? (Ball park)
- fbar
- state
- Federal

Also I moved out from MA in February so not sure if I'd also still need to file in MA?

I got married in 2021. Before my wedding I lived in State#1 and after the wedding I moved to State#2. My spouse lived in State#2 the entire year.
Can I file as Married Jointly in such a way that State#1 only calculates my income for the portion of the year I lived there?
Or do I need to file Married Seperately?

Maxed out Roth IRA contributions when I wasn't eligible for 2021 (got a salary bump mid year). Do I need to recharacterize? It's a very small account that's been open for only two years. That's the only IRA account I own. Do I need to open a traditional IRA and roll over 6k + realized gains into that account and keep the Roth IRA. So confused how this works and got conflicting information from Merrill.

How much in stocks a typical senior manager gets yearly at AWS?

Curious how much a senior writer can make in Orlando? Interviewing with Disney and I’d love to make it work. Also, any great calculators to compute what my NY salary would be in Orlando and vice versa?

Just realized I hadn’t had an in-person interview since 2019. I’ve done multiple zoom interviews and was onboarded remote in 2020. About to see a real person today! Wish me luck.

How is it working in house at Nike?

Some days the ghosting and radio silence comes off as blacklisting and soul crushing. How hard of an ask is it to copy and paste "thank you for your interest, we decided to go with another candidate"

I love living in NYC. Unfortunately, I haven’t found the kind of job I want here. Can someone suggest me other states where creative agencies are actually hiring?
