Wyoming, Nevada + some others have strict secrecy laws for LLCs which are great for hiding money from tax authorities. https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2016/04/panama-...

Nearly everyone on my team is ESL: Russian, Korean, Chinese, German. Meetings can be a nightmare as everything gets repeated a few times. The Indian guys usually have the best English as they learn from young but accent can be strong. Congr

I'm working in sell side banks and $200k base is pretty much top for VP you'll see. Bonuses are not significant any more. The exception is if you're a strat with lots of market knowledge you could hit that 350 TC but you&#x27

Holy shit, I'm in NYC and $175k is pretty good for a financial, for Florida it looks amazing.

I wonder how many people really enjoy that lifestyle. Sure its fun to go backpacking for a while when you're young but after a while the most rewarding part of life has been to live in a house close to your family where you get to know

You're right it doesn't make sense, this isn't normal corporate finance. Its dotcom funny money.

I'm really not sure should I be looking now, in the Fall or early next year? It feels like salaries will go up from here so is better to wait, but I guess you can switch again.

Yeah everyone does, which is why those big oil companies are causing global warming but not me.

Sorry this is BS. 500k will buy you a 3 bed house in most NYC commuter towns. I've never made $200k and I can easily afford it. OK I'm getting downvoted. If you downvote me find me a town outside of Alpine/Rumsford that you c

The whole of USA the median household wage is 65k. If you can earn 100k in your first year you're upper middle at minimum.

I was similar. My salary doubled then pretty much was flat for 10 years and only recently went up again.

NZ has no capital gains tax, low property taxes and negligible stock market. Its a great way to make money and really the only way to make money.

Tax tax tax. Everyone should be able to buy a property but its not fair if you sell for a profit and pay no Canadian tax as non-residents do. Property taxes should also be extra high for non-residents.

True but at least brokers didn't make it so easy to get margin or options and then have cute animations and other tech-inspired addictive features.

Robinhood walks a really fine line between a reputable broker and legalized gambling. There isn't much difference between Robinhood app and a casino app. I'm surprised they have been allowed to turn stock trading into a game.

It seems to be an American attitude where its just normal to relentlessly imprison people who fall out of line.

Sure, complain to your boss and see what's possible. Writing anonymous reddit posts isn't trying to change your workplace.
