Does higher vault ranking (v10-30 compared to v80-100) open more doors for corporate in-house opportunities for a senior associate? If chambers practice area rankings and expected billable hours are similar and they offer the same DPW pay scale, does it matter less? Is it better to stay at/lateral to a firm where you might be able last longer to learn the necessary skills? Any personal anecdote or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

I discovered I was gifted about two years ago. It made me realize that the reason why I was ‘weird’ was because I was different. It took me almost 2 years to understand that I shouldn’t hide my difference. I love the way I think but it’s not typical. And I get very frustrated when I’m asked to do things the same way another ‘typical’ person would’ve done them (no judgement!). Anyone in the same situation? Would love to hear your experience, especially in account management :)

If I roll my old employers Roth 401k into a Roth IRA, do I just run into issues if I was to execute a back door Roth IRA conversion *in that same calendar year*, or would I run into issues several years down the line as well.

Do you include the equity in your rental properties as part of your net worth? If so, what do you use to get the best estimate of the FMV of your properties? The estimates I see online can vary widely depending on the site if used so was curious if there is a good source others have used.

Hi there, I’d really love some advice from you all. In the last year I had to sell our home in Boulder, CO and embark on a new build process on a home in Tampa, FL. It turns out my dad can’t afford to live on his own so we found a home in FL that would have an in law suite. We locked in a rate but it expired and they are unwilling to extend due to the fact the builder is delayed and supply chain issues. Is there a smart way to structure loans now I’m unaware of? I’m super concerned.

Any tips on saving 30% plus living in NYC? 23 y/o. Currently have 65k between, savings, investments and checking. I’ve been living at home for the last 1.5 years.

I have crytops worth $200k. Is it worth holding or should I invest in real estate? Which one will be a better option for FIRE?

Rule of thumb is to have 3-6 months liquid saved. There is a huge difference between 3 months and 6 months. My partner and I want to use some of these funds for a honeymoon and furniture. Is it irresponsible to blow thru $$$ and just have the bare min of 3 months expenses left as liquid in a hysa?
