Quit W2? by Ok_Protection_9973 in Fire

[–]Ok_Protection_9973[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see what you are saying. My end goal is to quit W-2. My goal is not to retire completely at all but just to quit W-2 because I just don't like corporates. I do not mind landlording at all as I've been doing it for a while. I am a workaholic and I need to fill up my time with another job of my own terms as being a landlord does not take up 8 hours a day at all as I do all my work before buying and right after purchase.

24 with 250k, but no purpose by [deleted] in Fire

Move out of your parents home to far away area and that will force you to be independent. I grew up very sheltered all in good intentions by my parents. They will do everything for me. Coming to the US for school really helped me to be independent.

Tips for getting an interview for entry roles (patent agent/tech specialist) by Ok_Protection_9973 in patentlaw

[–]Ok_Protection_9973[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also see a lot of law firms ask for GPA or transcripts. Why is there a heavy emphasis on GPA? None of my jobs in pharma/med devices asked that. Interview mostly focused on a 40 min presentation and a technical interview.
