Some of these mid-senior finance job postings feel like satire: “Must have 7+ years experience, CPA, CFA, MBA preferred, expert in Excel, SQL, Python, ability to walk on water… salary $85k.” Like…what? I’ve seen entry-level roles with better comp and fewer demands. Is this just the market being trash, or are companies seriously delusional? How are you all navigating this insanity—and are you actually applying to these roles, or just laughing and scrolling?

It’s exploitation disguised as opportunity. They want a CFO at analyst pay. Hard pass.

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash. Assets are down a decent amount with the current market cycle and I’d prefer not to sell them to cover the debt , although they easily could. Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?
