Felt like doing something else. After you have a bunch of money, the promise of more money isn’t quite as strong as it once was.

They were pushed out due to insider trading or sexual harassment charges

If you are leaving voluntarily, it is because beyond a point, we all do not work for only money or pension. It is about relative impact

They could have concerns about the direction or leadership of their practice or firm. There are many out there who will make it worth your while to leave if they want you.
The reasons you think would make them stay are exactly the reasons they would consider leaving. Once those boxes are checked it’s easier to move on.
Speaking for myself, I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about the money. I spend a lot of time thinking about what I’m doing every day. If I can be made to feel better about that without putting my family in a bad position, why would I not consider that?

That must have been a very good offer. Culture or expectations mismatch seems unlikely only four months after passing a presumably rigorous partner selection process.

Advice and tips for a first time rental property investor?

I am 24 saving up for my first property to purchase at the end of 2021 / early 2022 in the Long Island, NY area.

I’d like to save up around $50K in my HYSA for a property <$400K in LI. Does this sound reasonable?

Does anyone have any advice on investing in the LI area (best location, SFH v MFH) or just general first time rental property buying advice?

Thanks all

I joined a new team and have noticed something off with my Director over the last months (slurring speech, no show to calls or even full days of work). I finally asked a colleague about it today because I’m concerned about my Director. She confirmed that she’s noticed the same over the last few years, but no one ever says anything. In confidence she told me she can often smell alcohol. How can I help? I feel helpless. I’ve already lost someone to addiction and I can’t ignore this. Any advice?
