What’s everyone’s “go-to” tax filing method? Can you share your method, your tax complexity and HHI? And why you use your method? For me, it’s “tax act” , moderate complexity with 2 W2, some investment, mega backdoor and 2 state filings, no itemized deduction, at ~500k. I picked tax act because it was free for military members for past few years but no longer qualify, so need new method.

Any Manager (Rank 32) having 46LPA(Fixed) or above at EYGDS?
Please comment your YOE, Tech Stack and Service line.

I'm currently at 38L(Fixed) working with Deloitte USI, cleared all the rounds with EYGDS. I am asking for 30% hike only which will be 49.5L(Fixed) and that too they are saying out of budget. This is strange!!!

Anyone do any PM mentorship on the side? I've had some people reach out to me on LinkedIn asking for free guidance on interviewing, starting out in a job, moving up, etc. I've met with a few people more than once for an hour or so at a time...wondering how big the market is for doing this kind of thing with recent college grads? I don't mind doing it for free, tbh it helps me more than it may help them. Does anyone charge for this and promote themselves?

Anyone have first hand experience with travel medical insurance? Looking to purchase for a short trip but finding so many mixed reviews from people that have had to actually try and use it. Appreciate any recommendations!

Anyone know if deloitte allows part time CPT? My full time CPT ends in May and been emailing immigration but no response.

Will there be any work from home assistance ? Will it be mentioned in offer letter ?

Sick of football, baseball, and ice hockey. Have to unnecessarily like these games and show I give a shit (oh Nick Foles really kicked Brady’s ass!). First Super bowl, then this crap NCAA, now basebal

Like this if you play video games on your work laptop

Did anyone get an update on their H1B registration from BAL? I got an email on March 11 saying that my account was opened on cobalt but nothing else since then!

Anyone switched from consular processing to change of status to activate their H1B? If yes, could you pls share when and how(i.e. if you had a ppmd looped in) you reached out to the law firm. My worm authorization is set to expire in 6 months and travel to home country is risky..

Thoughts on potential business ideas or investment opportunities where I can live the life I deserve now and not in retirement? I’m always trying to think of potential business ideas and come up with nothing. As far as interests, it doesn’t matter what it is. As long as it makes money I’m interested.

Turning 28 and hit $300K NW today. Never formally FIRE’d but want to set out a plan for here onwards. What’s some good material / easy reading to start with?

Given crazy market returns recently, do you still expect the market to rise at 10% over the next 30 years?

What do most people invest in for their Roth IRA portfolio? I’ve heard target funds and ETF’s..which one is better?

Anybody using Marcus high yield savings? 1.9%APY seems like a no brainer, just want to be sure I’m not missing anything.

Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls. It’s a modest Midwest city with ~100k residents but is a relatively touristy spot. It often feels like a MCOL area but I’m not sure how to adequately judge that, and it would be helpful to know when comparing salaries and the like.

I’ve been reading a lot of FIRE books lately and want somewhere to discuss. What are the biggest takeaways from your FIRE journey/ research?

Have 20k, what’s a good small business to start with this fund? Serious question here

Single and childless but would like kids. High income and maxing out all tax advantaged accounts I can but was thinking of starting a 529 in my own name to be transferred to future kids. If I don’t have kids maybe transfer it to my nephew. Thoughts, pros, cons?

Are y’all waiting to do a mega backdoor Roth to see what they do about build back better this year or just moving forward with it?

Anyone interested in having a meetup in NYC in April and exchange our FIRE experience?

I wish I wasn’t adaptable. Humans aspire for a greater level of comfort and once achieved, adopt that as their new baseline. Because of this, somebody making $100k cannot simply comfortably revert back to a $50k lifestyle. The slow growth of personal wealth isn’t noticed as ideated. Instead, we are never satisfied.

Can you relate? Has your salary / net worth growth dramatically improved your quality of life?

Are we on recession? My portfolio is super down - low cost ETF investor here

Has anyone bought a commercial space and eventually rented it out that resulted in a positive cash flow? If so? In which city?

Should I buy and rent the extra bedrooms to friends, or stay renting and put savings in stock market?

I can do the math on SWR’s, but always happy to have the input of this forum, be it positive, constructive, or a really unique perspective. I’ve been lurking on a FIRE journey for a while, and here is where I am:
2.3M in retirement assets (30% have been taxed)
8k a month in expected expenses…continued in comments

This is gonna sound stupid, but I’m honest - I can’t do math. Calculating a tip is as advanced as I get. Thank god for excel formulas and a math savvy husband. At the end of the day, I pay all the bills (I know- but I’m more organized) and make double his salary, what low stress effort (on my limited math capacity brain) can I do to increase wealth?

I feel like I should be doing more with extra money to help us financially, but I’m scared of having to study stocks and understand the numbers. 😖

I consolidated grad loans in ‘15, kept federal separate from private (w SoFi @6.75%). Can I refinance w SoFi or w Earnest? Should I combine the federal and lose the protections for better %?
