With layoffs still happening in certain sectors but the market staying surprisingly strong, do you trust what the headlines are saying about the economy or are you positioning your money more defensively just in case?

I don't trust the headlines at all. But I'm also not worried to the point of changing my strategy either. Just sticking with the boring stuff for now.

I don't have a lot of faith in the headlines, and my personal view of the economy is pretty pessimistic. I've been expecting to see some kind of pullback in the stock market, and every time we have a day like today I wonder if this is the beginning. In my investment account I've got cash I haven't deployed out of caution, and I think I may stay like that for a while. I feel like adding to positions would be buying at the top. If there's a pullback I'll be happy to have kept my powder dry.

Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.

Hi all.
Has anyone in
IBM been on bench for more than 4 months here?
I have been on bench for almost 4 months now & have been getting automated mails asking me to get assigned to a project by searching one by myself, else necessary action might be taken.

And are there any chances of being straightaway fired based on these automated mails?

I would genuinely need an advise from someone who is aware of this kind of situation.

Thanks in advance

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
