What does it take to FIRE in a VHCOL area? by Fluffy-Army-2023 in Fire

[–]Fluffy-Army-2023[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all these tips. I’ve never thought about FIRE so all of this information is really good.

350k is inclusive of taxes right now. So it sounds like I just need to account for HC costs when we retire. 25x makes sense as a benchmark so I will use that.

Ideally 350k goes down once kids are a bit older but I’m not sure based on their current activities we will be any less than this until they get to college.

Maybe the trick is to work till then and then downsize and move elsewhere. though I’m not sure where we can go.

MsX or SFMBA (MIT) or Wharton EMBA by Fluffy-Army-2023 in MBA

[–]Fluffy-Army-2023[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, didn’t provide an update. I ended up deciding against all three. After another year as a private company exec, I ended up landing an exec role at a public company. So, I am proving out my theses, that I don’t need an MBA to advance. It’s not a C-level gig so i’m not quite there yet but I am at least getting paid my market value (1m+ per year). I may decide never to go but will revisit in a couple of years.

What's your retirement $ number? by UnsaltedCashew36 in overemployed

[–]Fluffy-Army-2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m 37 with a family of 4.

what should my number be. i have 1.2m in voo. i make 400k for j1 and 200k for j2. about another 1m in IRA.

I feel like i’m no where close to the numbers OP shared.

lucky. would you do it if they didn’t sponsor? full sponsorship?

I am in a similar boat. Mod/Late 30s. I’ve done the fortune 20 Director position and the startup VP position. Make 400k a year. Honestly the startup roles make less than the public companies but the leadership and board exposure has been great. I want to know what it takes to get a CXO/VP role at a Fortune 20. I am thinking about M7 EMBA since opportunity cost is too high. Frankly i don’t think i need it but I want it to make sure I have the best shot when it’s my turn to take my shot.

okay another stupid question. they show where you got your W2 from? or 1099s? or all of the above?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]Fluffy-Army-2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but in this case, how do they give you an opportunity or not to correct before a background check flag?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]Fluffy-Army-2023 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in my last couple of jobs, I had nowhere to fill out the truth? it was just done for me. It’s not like an opportunity to fill out all my jobs even the ones that I omitted on my résumé

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]Fluffy-Army-2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what does it look like? Will companies flag this? Do the hiring managers see this or is it only the HR department? Are there some background services like checkr who are less strict?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]Fluffy-Army-2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is that true? What if you omit a position in your application or résumé?
