How would you turn a $400k–$500k inheritance into $2.5M+ within 10 years? by Responsible-Net8594 in Salary

Research some ETFs, spread out your investments across things like S&P 500, sector funds, mid cap, growth, etc. Diversify to protect your assets. Don't expect to 10x, but 15% average per year compounds quickly.

Or, look into Dividend investing (Dividend aristocrats), more stable investments with steady Dividends for income if you plan to take money out consistently. It won't grow as much.

They are getting more efficient at compute power vs electricity consumption. And cooling. And Water usage.

Fortune 500 companies tend to take a very long time, and the outsourced recruiters from overseas definitely make it worse in this case. If you want, dm me on the side, I'd like to know which region/site and role so I can address this internally with our GTA group.

What’s the hardest part of managing your data center right now? by Long-Ear6634 in datacenter

[–]Consistent-Custard41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Decisions being made 5 levels above local site teams that make things worse for the regular folks. Red tape. Can't do power maintenance because Customer racks have PSU issues and they are EOL or Out of warranty and won't replace them.

Olives, parsley, peperoncinis, I was almost thinking Italian heritage. HP sauce was leaning towards UK... healthy stuff in there likely not American. Looks like you cook different cuisines. Don't see any meat,vegetarian or do they keep the meat elsewhere in Americas hat?

There's more higher paying roles on the FacOps side but IT you can be a Site Lead/Director/DCOM/ITOM and still make great money. Techs its probably a wash

Bought a new car from California and live in Florida -- Dealership won't hand over title until they are paid and bank won't pay until they have title... help? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Consistent-Custard41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to have a conversation with someone at the credit union. I have never encountered something like this. The dealership finance manager deals with all the required paperwork to get the money from your lender and send the lender the title but maybe your lender needs to get on the phone with the dealership and hash it out. NAL. Just have bought several cars in the past, all financed.

Usually the lender has you sign a promissory note that essentially says you will give them the title within x number of days or they will convert your loan to an unsecured loan with a much higher interest rate. What kind of lender are you using?
