Fourth-year associate. I will soon be commuting to Midtown Manhattan to a firm that pays market. From a financial perspective, am I completely nuts to be driving in and parking? Between tolls and parking, it’s going to be close to $10K a year as opposed to the bus/train being between $2500-$3000 a year. Thing is, bus/rail is pretty reliable in the morning (in terms of availability of options), but if I’m working late service gets dodgy and I like the freedom of having my own vehicle (cont.)

Took a redeye in. Worked on the flight. Got 1 hour of sleep. Just went into the office for a fire drill and realized I forgot my key card at home when I got to the door. Today blows

I would love to hear what other people have to say about onboarding remotely because I will be going through the process myself in a few weeks. of course I will share my experience as I’m going through it!

So today my client manager came to know about my resignation, one month before NP ends

She said - hope it's a good move good luck

Is she being sarcastic ?

My firm has one principal who is a true psycho. Super smart but no interpersonal or conflict resolution skills. Legitimately think she has a mild personality disorder. Poor manager and leader. How do you deal with it?

In addition, he used to control all our finances including investing and I don’t know where to start. Can someone please help? Do I put my money in a Roboadvisor or ETFs? Are they the same? I don’t have a risk appetite to play with whatever savings I have left. Thanks!
