Hi, I have received the following questions from the HR for a job application: 1. Current monthly salary and total annum 2. Expected monthly salary and total annum This is the first time I have been asked total annum so I'd like some advice For 1. do I provide total annum for last year or estimated total for this year? Afterall, the estimate for this year would be higher as I'm drawing a higher monthly salary this year For 2. Should I include flexi benefits to the expected total annum?

100k renovated house is renting for $1500 to section 8. Taxes are about $200 a month, $80 a month for grass cutting, $50 a month water, $100 a month set aside for maintenance (full renovated but still saving a small amount). Roughly netting $1k a month not including vacancy. This is giving me 12% return. The only downside is little increase in property prices over time and of course section 8 is main source but I guess guaranteed rent. For those in the investing space do these numbers make sense

I began investigating monthly costs of home ownership outside of mortgage (tax, upkeep, insurance, hoa, etc) and I realized that the monthly sunk cost of a quality home in my area would be equal to or higher than the cost of rent… and that’s excluding interest payments. I also learned on avg one can expect 2-3% appreciation of a home. So based on that I’m way better off renting forever and putting all my capital in stocks making 7%. Where am I going wrong here?

EU/UK: For those in Strategy Consulting/Value Creation. How do you structure your cv for the following exits 1. Current role > MBB, boutiques 2. Current role > industry strategy roles 3.

Do you go with “led +15 CDD…” / “value creation” “cost out” without project specific info? C. Do you add project sheet on page 2? What’s your approach and what works for these exits best?

I recently bought a house and can't stop thinking about my budget. Right now I spend 68 percent of my income on essentials and 32 percent on everything else. I make 100300 gross. I live in Pittsburgh a relatively low cost of living city. Am I as screwed as I think I am, or is this just normal. My mortgage is 38 percent of my take home pay which I thought was high but manageable considering I'd get equity in the home rather than renting.

I’ve been investing in the market for quite the last few years since graduating college. I am taking a step back and trying to understand the best allocation of my funds. What do you guys think about this breakdown across Net Worth? 1. Total US Market: 20% 2. S&P500: 40% 3. Tech Play VGT: 10% 4. Single Stocks: 15% 5. Cash: 15% Holding that much cash to buy a house. Need to be cash heavier until that down payment goes out the door.

I used to work for Progressive and now that I’m starting fresh in a different part of the insurance world, I’m realizing how different each company’s culture and approach can be. Some focus heavily on sales, while others emphasize service or technology. It’s been eye opening to see how varied this industry really is. For those who’ve worked at multiple companies, what kind of environment helped you grow the most?

Looking at my personal budget and wondering what a good target amount is for housing. How do my fellow bean counters come up with an appropriate number? I have seen some people say spend no more that 25% of take home on housing. That 25% would include rent/loan principal, interest, taxes, insurance and HOA fees. Does 25% seem like a good target?
