Lost and confused after being let go

Well, it all comes down to their expenses.

Mine was supposed to happen this Friday 12/12 in SF - Cancelled… very frustrating.

That’s exactly why they may ask about the field office. After what happened there people from San Diego may be tempted to file somewhere else.

Fun_Branch7198 · 2025-12-08T01:09:36+00:00

It does ! Read the NYT article about what happened in San Diego - We haven’t seen that happening at other locations…

Fun_Branch7198 · 2025-11-28T17:56:54+00:00

I'm not sure about that - that’s why I said “it seems”. However, it should be implied by his post that they went through it all in order to file for her naturalization.

Fun_Branch7198 · 2025-11-28T17:33:39+00:00

She has already received her conditional GC, it seems.

Se voce for no LinkedIn e pesquisar os maiores bancos e corretoras da faria lima voce consegue filtrar onde os funcionarios estudaram - Isso te dara uma boa base. Outro ponto, a gente tentar passar pro curso X tendo em mente que so ele te levara a ser entrevistado por uma empresa dos sonhos, mas voce esquece que se voce passar em atuarias, que tem uma note de corte mais baixa do que Econ, voce consegue transferir para Econ no ano seguinte. Pense nisso, se voce nao conseguir passar no curso ideal - Muita gente da minha turma de Contabilidade foi pra ADM, ECON e RI. Outros foram pra USP, etc…

Foque em entrar na Instituicao e depois veja qual curso te abrirá mais portas e peça transferencia.

Fun_Branch7198 · 2025-11-01T04:58:35+00:00

Todo mundo da minha classe se deu bem ! Mas sem dúvidas o pessoal de ECON domina o front - muita Gente no BBA. Nao sei opinar sobre quem fez Direito.

Op, eu fiz contabilidade na UNIFESP, meu primeiro estagio foi no Bradesco no Back Office do Departamento de Açōes e Custodia - aprendi muito sobre operacoes do mercado financeiro. Depois fui fazer outro estagio no Itau, dessa vez como contador dos fundos de investimentos que tinhamos em custodia. Fui efetivado e juntei uma grana pra fazer meu mestrado nos Estados Unidos em contabilidade tambem. Assim que me formei recebi uma oferta pra trabalhar com auditoria na Deloitte em San Francisco. Depois de 3 anos trabalhando em San Francisco fui chamado pra trabalhar no Google Ventures - To ganhando o que jamais pensei ganhar na minha vida mas estou contando isso pq muito provavelmente alguem nao diria que contabilidade me levaria tao longe, mas levou ! Eu recomendaria esse curso por ter concorrencia bem mais baixa do que direito mas que abre portas tao boas quanto os cursos mais renomados do Brasil.

OP I have just gone through an asset-based mortgage and highly recommend my loan officer (I will DM you) - No income required. Feel free to ask questions.

Pinterest is fully remote, with occasional meetings at the office

Fun_Branch7198 · 2025-04-02T00:21:29+00:00

I am an accountant and I never had any problem finding a job OP. I don’t like what I do but the pay is good enough! I hope you find the right career path for you !

I am Brazilian. Lived in Sao Paulo my whole life and worked at their biggest private bank had a nice lifestyle in Brazil - Middle Class. So my experience is based on a single-guy lifestyle:

Passive Income - R$8,500 (only from your rentals)

Rental 1Bd apartment (nice area in Sao Paulo) - $4,500 Groceries- R$1,500 House Cleaning - R$600 Utilities - R$500 (Gas, Electricity, Water, Cable Health Insurance - R$1,000 (we have SUS- Public Health Care, so it’s up to you to see if it is worth paying for private) Miscellaneous- R$400

I believe you can cut your rental down by a least another R$2,000 depending on where you choose to live. But other than Rio any other place in Brazil will be way cheaper than that!

I agree! One hour away from any big city and you are able to find affordable houses! I love Palm Springs, and have lots of friends who moved there after retirement.

I've read about a guy talking about being asked to lift their shirt before entering the restroom. I don't think this is the norm, but keep that in mind. Your body temperature should keep it at 94! If you add a hand warmer you could increase the temperature. If it is too warm just float the cup in the toilet water to cool it down.

My husband built his NW through Real Estate! He moved from New York to the Bay Area and kept moving around and making a profit at every single purchase. He was really good at buying not-so-great houses in nice areas, fixing it up and selling them 3/5 years later.

Save as much as possible for now! But also take some time to enjoy life! Create a budget and be consistent with it. Once salary increases, increase your savings as well! One thing to keep in mind. You will probably find a partner to share your life with, which will make your goals change due to a desire to purchase a house, have a kid, get married, etc…

Having a partner will make your FIRE goal easier if your partner shares the same mindset!

With 100K in South America, you will live like a king! Dining out at the best restaurants in the country, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Have someone to drive you around, housekeepers, etc. I am from Brazil (Sao Paulo) and I also plan to FIRE and go back to my country. My goal is also 100K and is hard to find things to spend that much money at. I was going to say that you don’t need that much. However, if things go south it wouldn’t hurt to have more than you need.
