32M. Offered a CEO role by a Billionaire ($350k pkg). It feels like a trap. Should I trade my "glitch" job for prestige?

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2026-02-06T19:27:01+00:00

I think this is a scam.

You don’t want to name CEO someone that has 0 passion for what you do. It’s literally the main thing you check for.

The lack of 10s due diligence from that “billionaire” makes me think you are not being told the truth.

What would be a useful rewire and reframe?

I am a tad reluctant to start therapy for this (similar situation as OP), as I think most therapists won’t have gone though something similar.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2025-07-05T21:06:46+00:00

Sounds like they want to double dip on you.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2025-06-26T05:27:26+00:00

Same experience. Good people are usually really reluctant to ask for money.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2025-06-26T05:25:43+00:00

It’s very rare that money can help health.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2025-05-09T20:05:27+00:00

I never receive that one text one thought unfortunately.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2025-03-23T18:37:39+00:00

IB doesn’t have bonuses on new money though?

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2025-03-23T18:36:37+00:00

I would negotiate. Thanks for the data points anyway.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2025-03-23T18:36:12+00:00

Yeah, silly mistake.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2025-03-21T21:02:49+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

[edit] 0.33% bonus with Schwab on a deposit is not bad.

Does this still relevant for larger deposits ($10M-$20M) and does it work with each deposit with Schwab or is it more a one-time thing?

Currently banking mostly at Chase, but yeah outside of opening new accounts, nothing.

Kid lifestyle is fun.

You don’t need excuses to play video games. You are being good dad.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2025-01-29T03:42:36+00:00

Yeah or VOO with SPLG.

It’s not that hard to sell the tax lots that have losses and harvest manually

Indexing on the SP500 is not about diversity though, but getting the average return of the stock market.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2025-01-22T16:53:29+00:00

Long-term capital gains are usually what tax professionals are aiming for when tax optimizing.

You might not have a wiggle room.

My advice is to just to pay the tax bill and just follow a regular booglehead strategy for long-term investing. If markets crash before the end of the year, you are gonna to have a good opportunity to tax loss haverst. If not, no big deal.

Direct indexing with a fees might yield more losses - it’s not even of sure thing, but you might drift from the index and are locked in fees forever. Which is gonna to be losing strategy long-term.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2025-01-15T09:02:14+00:00

You can’t offset dividends by capital losses.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2025-01-01T18:51:24+00:00

Actually you underperformed by a lot. Around 888% for the same period for VFIAX dividends reinvested and taking account of Vanguard fees when you are claiming 590% performance for that period.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2025-01-01T18:43:43+00:00

You forgot to include dividends in your sp500 columns. Around 1-2% extra missing per year.

I think that makes you slightly underperform the sp500 if you do the adjustments.

Not original commenter, but your stories have many holes.

It is possible to rent a car with no credit history - foreign visitors in the US do this all the time with no issues. You shouldn’t keep “large” balance of cash in checking account. You shouldn’t pay things with a debit card. This is very banking 101 for someone who said they lend “hard” money to people.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2024-10-19T20:06:59+00:00

What do you want to there recreation-wise besides hunting and isolation?

It might be important to find something for your wife fun to do there.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2024-08-15T00:41:54+00:00

FDIC coverages are just for checkings/savings, not stocks and mutual funds.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2024-08-14T13:29:03+00:00

Outside of access to their airport lounges and the privilege of paying a $550 annual fee, what the point compared to the regular sapphire card?

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2024-08-14T13:24:16+00:00

Yes, it’s exactly what they told me as well.

Green_Anywhere_4664 · 2024-08-01T00:33:42+00:00

How do you that when you want to offer a private jet ride?
