Starting a new job soon, with a nice pay bump. Also have been looking for a vacation home for a year now, and we think we found a good one that isn't just flying off the market. Part of me thinks we should go for it, and the other part thinks it's much wiser to wait to make sure I'm actually good at the new job. What do you all think?

The data point that it’s not “flying off the market” in this market would give me pause. Buying property with a new job, you want it to be as liquid as possible.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Looks like the market has softened overall in the area we're looking (lakefront in the Poconos). I'm thinking it makes sense to wait. We've waited this long!

When submitting resignation do you pro rate the number of holiday days you would have accrued? I have leave booked around time of resignation (of which 5 days is PY roll over) so wondering if I can add an additional 2 days leave to the date from which I'm counting back 30 days from ie 20 days normal notice 5 days PTO (starts Thursday) puts me 27 days post submitting notice (wed). Could I add 27/365x 25 day holiday allowance = 2 extra days of leave I can add.

Here’s how to withdraw your funds from FTX

Hedge Withdrawals

Open a position on FTX and an opposing position on another exchange (perhaps Binance for the irony) for the same financial exposure. If the position on FTX profits, keep trading. As the position on FTX experiences losses, the opposing position on the other exchange profits. Keep it up until you’ve depleted the funds on account at FTX the close your opposing position. You’ve successfully withdrawn funds using a hedge. You’re welcome.

A lot of folks, this bowl included, are getting a reality check at the moment, which i think is good for learning experiences.
