I found a great job opportunity but they want me to start 2 weeks from today. Are there any negative impacts to giving less than 2 weeks notice when leaving? Will I burn a bridge with my manager and team?
Hoping to retire by 50. HHI is $250k. Total net worth is around $950k.
Has anyone worked for MTSI in Dayton and can comment on what it's like to work there? Work life balance, benefits, etc.?
My wife and I are planning to go to TCI in November for our anniversary and are bringing our 5 year old. I am debating a resort vs. an AirBnB. 6 nights at Seven Stars would be $5,600 (they have a 30% winter sale). Breakfast is included too. 6 nights at a nice 2bedroom AirBnB in Long Bay Hills with a private pool would be around $500 less.
The secluded Airbnb with a private pool seems nice, but Seven Stars resort does seem great for kids being beachfront, and the included breakfast and walkability to nearby grocery stores and restaurants and the security of the resort is a huge plus. Should I stick with the resort? The extra $500 would pay for itself for the included breakfast every day for the 3 of us, and we can venture out for other meals if we get bored of the resort options.
I was recently offered a job making $155k, but they require 5 days a week in the office and due to the nature of the work, it has to be done in a closed room without access to my phone and I can't bring my work laptop home (defense software engineer). So I literally can't do any work from home and have to work 8:30 to 4:30 every day in the office. I currently work 5 days a remotely. As the parent who primarily drops off and picks up my kid from daycare this would make things difficult. My current job lets me log on late and sign off early as long as I make up some time later in the evening. I almost feel like I have golden handcuffs because not many jobs right now offer full remote work capability.

Does anyone know any good defense contractors or other companies that are currently hiring for software engineers in the Dayton area? I have an active secret security clearance. Not loving my current job and I'm looking to explore other opportunities.
My wife and I are 33 and have $625k combined in retirement savings. We have low liquid savings and emergency fund. Are we in a good spot to lower our 401k contributions up until the match and prioritize saving up cash? I make $150k a year. I would be reducing my contributions from 18% to 8% to get the maximum match. My wife makes $74k a year. She would reduce her contributions from 20% to 6% to get the maximum match. In a couple years she'll finish residency and make $250k to $300k a year and we'll have more income to max out retirement accounts again.
Has anyone had thin, flat, narrow stools that wasn't the C word? What caused it?
I know it's looked down upon to withdraw Roth IRA contributions. But if I have an established Roth IRA for over a decade, my contributions are $45k, and my current value is $90k, is it okay to withdraw $15k in contributions for emergency? I also still have $500k in 401k.
How often do you take a day off from work just to decompress and escape from meetings, answering emails, and deadlines?
I had an arranged marriage with my (33M) wife (32F). At the start of our marriage 5 years ago it didn't come up much, but recently my dad has been showing more visible signs he isn't a fan of my wife.
He'll say to me things like why are you doing laundry, or why are you feeding (your son), why are you doing the dishes, why are you bringing her her cell phone, etc. implying that my wife should be doing those things. My wife was raised in a more modern environment and has stated she isn't going to be relegated to the kitchen. She is working as a doctor in fact.
He is definitely of the older, patriarchal mindset (as was his father). My wife has caught on to my dad's feelings and has been telling me to stand up for her more. We are in the US and this is straining my relationship with my dad, what should I do?
This is my current liquid assets. Wife and I are both 33. I make $150k/year as a SW Engineer and wife is in medical residency making $70k/year (should make $250k - $275k after finishing in 2 years). 401k is all pretax. I want to start reallocating more money to brokerage and Roth IRA, especially Roth IRA since we'll exceed the income limit in a couple years, and I want to start building up post tax funds if we want to retire early (goal is 50). Am I good to throttle back 401k contributions to get the full match and contribute the rest to Roth IRA & brokerage investments?
For someone who is just starting out, can someone please explain why the tax deferred nature of a pre-tax 401k beats the long term capital gains rate and present flexibility of a brokerage account?
For those of you who maxed out your 401k for decades, do you have any regrets? Did you wish you hadn't put away so much in retirement? Saved more in a brokerage? Or realized you didn't need to save so much and could have retired earlier?
I personally hate mowing the lawn, cutting the weeds, cleaning the house/bathrooms, and assembling furniture or large items. So I pay someone else to do those things. I would rather pay someone else to get those tasks off my plate, and I love the time it frees up to do other things, either productive or fun. What tasks do you "outsource"?
After going through severance and unemployment, has anyone been able to pay their bills and survive by driving for Uber or DoorDash? Asking for a friend of course.
Right in the middle of this heat wave, my A/C decided to stop working in the house I'm renting. At my old house I own, I could just pick up a phone and call an HVAC company. But now I have to call my property manager, enter a service request, they talk to the owner, confirm repair, and send someone days later. Ugh.
I am married and have $900k NW. $650k in retirement assets, $170k in equity on a rental property (positive cash flows $640/month). And another $80k liquid. I make $150k as a SW Engineer in defense industry (with security clearance), wife makes $70k as a resident physician. We have a 4.5 year old kid. I have severely burned out to the point where I developed anxiety and body pains, and I want to take a few months off. My team is understaffed and work continues to pile up. I don't have the support despite asking for more resources. I'm tempted to do the bare minimum to not get fired. I have enough liquid savings to keep us going. Should I try to get fired so I can claim unemployment? Honestly I could probably stop working at this point and our current net worth could last a couple years until my wife finishes residency and she makes double my current salary, but I think I'd like to continue working until atleast 45.
Yes naysayers will say the job market is shit but isn't that the whole point of this sub? To have that work is optional mindset? With my skillset and experience I shouldn't have an issue finding another job within 6 months.
I (33M) went to GI to talk about my thin, narrow stools (only symptom) and he didn't bother looking at pictures of stool I provided or do any other stool or blood tests. He just jumped to ordering a colonoscopy. I don't have any bleeding and my bloodwork is all in normal ranges. Should I get a 2nd opinion? Are GIs just trigger happy with ordering colonoscopies because it's a high profit procedure for their clinic?
