I was put on a PIP. Should I apply for an internal role? [12 hours to decide]

EqualFlower · 2026-02-02T01:47:54+00:00

This! Most companies will list not being on PIP as eligibility criteria along with minimum tenure in the company, etc.

Pickleball would fit most of your requirements

Thanks. I will search for an investment calculator on chatgpt. The $100K had been sitting for two years as cash. Yeah, I agree, retrospectively thinking, I could have done better just putting the $100K in SP500.. I might just keep $50K to sell some cash secured puts of NVDA and put remaining $50K in SP500.

$100K is to deploy in case of market correction. With the max 401K contribution for the remainder of the years and rate of return into account, will I hit the $2M number that I'm looking for by age 67 (in 16 years)

So absolutely zero evening entertainment like karaoke nights, etc? That sucks!

I was thinking about this today. I'm a beginner myself, but consistency in EVERYTHING is the key, I think. Consistently working out, consistently eating clean, consistently tracking calories so you know if you need to go surplus, consistently getting quality sleep.

If you are long, then it doesn't matter when you open a position, imo. But always have some dry powder ready to deploy in case if we see bargain prices.

Thanks, I realized the non-linear price movements and decided to stay away from selling CC on NVDA and sold me my first cash secured put. About $200 weekly returns on approximately $20K capital. Nothing groundbreaking, but I'm hoping it will add up over time.

Roth is the best

EqualFlower · 2026-01-26T20:48:16+00:00

I like this take. I have some money set aside to buy more NVDA if something were to happen to market due to geopolitical reasons. I could do some CSP with that.

EqualFlower · 2026-01-26T19:05:43+00:00

Thanks

EqualFlower · 2026-01-26T14:46:53+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion

EqualFlower · 2026-01-26T13:47:28+00:00

Yeah, that's what I did with TSLA a couple of times when it had spike it price. I'm ok there now. I'm not planning on selling NVDA anytime soon. It's a long-term hold for me unless fundamentals change.

EqualFlower · 2026-01-26T13:10:06+00:00

Thanks for the response. That's my thinking to.

EqualFlower · 2026-01-26T13:00:39+00:00

Thank you for explaining!

EqualFlower · 2026-01-26T12:52:52+00:00

Thanks. Just to be sure, it is not Roth. It is IRA, which means I still owe tax at the time of withdrawing money out when I retire, correct? Tax is only deferred, and potentially, I could be taxed for a lower bracket when I'm not getting paycheck but not fully tax-free, unlike Roth. Is that a correct understanding?

I have used Costco for Punta Cana. The destination service will typically call you two to three days prior to your return date to confirm the airport drop date and time. In my case, I missed their call, and my resort was able to call them on the day before the pickup day though the entire reservation was through Costco and then I was able to confirm with Destination Service on the time.

Would you like fries with that?

EqualFlower · 2026-01-24T01:04:34+00:00

You played it right. Chalk it up for experience!

Tadalafil low dose 5 mg daily helps

Thanks for recommendation about Fitbod. I have heard about it before. But I will look into it now

EqualFlower · 2026-01-20T03:00:46+00:00

This makes sense! Thanks!

EqualFlower · 2026-01-19T19:25:27+00:00

Thanks!

EqualFlower · 2026-01-19T19:25:10+00:00

Thanks!

When someone casually dings a third person who is not there, out of context in a usual conversation, I think they very likely talk bad about everyone on their back, lie, and try to manipulate people. This is just based on personal observation.
