Why are markets pumping today?

Did expediting L2 EAD work for anyone? I am currently in change of status but I need to travel to India as my dad is too alone.

Any Canadians here?

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?

I have joined a company on 4th Feb, through consultancy on contract to hire basis.
I only received the job offer letter from the consultancy, but no Appointment Letter is given yet.
So since it's 10-15 day, since I joined. Can I leave this company, since I've got a better offer, with my suitable location.
PS: I have also received the laptop, but didn't login or do anything yet.
Please help me, can I still leave the company? And return the laptop to them. Or I have to continue here itself?

Hi fishes,

Okay. Possibly a stupid question BUT Imma ask anyway.

Can someone just explain how you plan out how much to bill so you can make sure it’s not a mad scramble at the end of year? I’m moving from a firm where I was lacking in any kind of mentorship. No one ever just sat down and explained the most efficient way to track/measure your hours to confirm that you are on track.

Is there just a secret excel spreadsheet that all lawyers have and I just missed the memo???

I have 5 years of work experience with equal experience in Data Engineering and DevOps. Now I am thinking to focus on a particular area. Can someone suggest me which one will have more scope in future. I am equally interested in both.

COO’s & previous SR. account executives…

I made it to regional manager for a franchise by age 22. Ran a successful financial practice & sold by the age of 33. Took 2 years off and built a health & wellness coaching platform for my wife (medical provider). Then, the last 2.5 yrs, have been a top producer in Saas sales as a senior account executive. I’ve been told I would make a great COO someday and I’m ready to take the next step into leadership. Who/what should I be targeting next?

Any west coast lesbians 29-38 want to chat?

How you came into the company will define your path. That’s why you’ll never be successful switching departments.

Come on SOS. Lets hit $10

Well my $500 DOGE bet from yesterday is paying off 😂. This feels like people are just desperate for a bull market based on speculation.

I don’t play with options much, but I happened to buy VERU calls for 2/19 a little while ago and now it’s skyrocketing, it’s up over $1k for me- will it keep going up? Should I just take the profits now and be happy?

Hi, amateur question. Is there any difference tax wise on letting an option expire vs sell for nothing? I assume both are tax losses that you can compensate with gains in other options right? TIA

The call volume on 200C for this Friday is comical... yes this was also GME post.

5/28 Thread (General):

BTCs dipping a bit through the weekend. Could that be an indicator to predict red futures tomorrow?

PLTR calls? Bad week for them as they fell under ‘meme stocks’ some places. Thinking of $33 for 2/19

Does Amc and gme close after today ?
What to expect next week ?

When will EV bubble will pop. Except tesla and rivian everything else is so over inflated. Nkla, wkhs, nio have gone up like 10 times in 3 months. That's insane. Will this bubble pop when tsla corrects and goes back to 1000

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

JMIA is insane. Why is it only popping in the last couple weeks?

Cons of moving 75% of my savings to an Intermediate US Treasury ETF (SCHR)? I wouldn’t mind losing 4-5% if the market rallies, but would rather put cash to work if the market keeps tanking

Does anyone know how to roll options in Fidelity’s app? Recently moved from TDA to fidelity

I have just got an options trader job at a prop trading firm. But I knew nothing about options/trading/finance. The firms said they’ll be officially training us once we start. But in the meantime, what are some books/resources that you would recommend to start learning first?
