Thoughts on Dechert FRE (real estate)?

I have dal 19 put 3/27. Loosing money there, should I wait out another day or two or cut my losses now?

First gen, first year lawyer here. What do you do when you have family members who expect money from me every paycheck. I try to stand my ground but I get guilt tripped, especially when those family members were there for me.

It’s getting hard to save money when there is this expectation that I must give them money every paycheck. It feels like I have nothing for myself.

Anyone buck the traditional advice to Max out 401k? I've been making out but see little value in it for me. Who knows what my health will be like when I'm 65

I am 22 and a few months into my first job and so far, I have only started investing in Roth IRAs, 401k, and certificates of deposits… I am trying to take steps to get into passive income (stocks, bonds, etc.) but, I am not sure of the best way to start… Any advice on investing for beginners?

First year in consulting, is it worth purchasing a car this early? I’m living at home and about a 45 minute car ride away from my home office. Any suggestions? What have you done?

I had a baby almost a year ago. I should start a 529 account for my child but I am originally from France which also makes her a French citizen and she could easily go to college in France for not much money. It’s pretty much free there, I have 0 Student loan debt. With that in mind, a 529 would not be super helpful if we go that route. Should I consider other options? Do you have suggestions? Thanks so much!

What’s the best way to maximize having both the chase freedom unlimited and sapphire preferred?

For context, I’ve had the unlimited for 2 years and just opened the preferred because of the bonus offer. I will hit the $4k spending target, but after that, what’s the best way to use these two in tandem, given the unlimited rewards are all around much better.

Won’t the proliferation of digital fiat currencies created by central banks (US, England, China, Sweden) make bitcoin’s success inevitable?

Any recommendations on anything apart from coinbase to buy BTC in usd? I am unable to find any platform using it. Please let me know if you guys are aware of any cheaper alternative. Want to try altcoins but looks most need BTC which in the end can only buy on coinbase. It takes higher fees and time for buying.

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
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.

Anyone taken a 3week vacation before?

I have ADD and occasionally make small mistakes in my work, like leaving a word missing when editing sentences, small formatting errors or leaving an internal comment in drafts sent to clients. All partners have been very understanding and care about the quality of my work, and no client has ever complained. Partners and clients praise my work.

But now, one partner has become super mad and when I explained ADD, he said:

How soon to take time off as first year? And how much?

6th year - over 2000 hours, great review last year, this year they said will not promote me. They will do a mid year review early next year and if still no good, will discuss “transition” plan. HR said I have until next spring. Sounds like I can stay on payroll for another 7-8 months? Is it real? I have a lot of financial obligations so want to know the worst scenario

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.
