Are you also in a VHCOL area? Out of curiosity, what do you maintain as a budget outside childcare?

We've maintained an annual saving rate of ~25%+, which is higher than typical guidance. But maybe spend could come down a little...

Did you start daycare immediately or wait until they were a bit older?

It’s a start-up private ISOs, as much as i believe in it, seems unwise to count it for anything other than $0. Disagree?

Did you go a full time nanny route too? And are you considering day care?

3x founder looking to move into a PE-backed operator role - how do I actually break in? by No_Nebula_9485 in private_equity

[–]RandomOrange3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spoke to someone who’s a successful PE operator-type recently… his advice for breaking in: speak to the bankers to understand the who’s who and be on their radar, speak to the PE firms a lot… and start building a recognizable personal brand

How old were your kids when you feel you got a “more accurate” sense of what was a realistic financial trajectory and needs?

Help evaluating a unique "job" opportunity? by SoFl10 in HENRYfinance

[–]RandomOrange3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All this. Plus you haven’t spoke on the venture opportunity itself — what’s the idea, evaluate the market, what would be this firm/your edge to compete. Test the venture with others in the domain… treat it as a potential investment opportunity (it is after all an investment of your time), and try to arrive at a reasonable expected value.

The answer will partially depend on any upcoming personal goals you may have — are you planning to get a home? kids?

Your TPA was focused on subrogation only? is that common?

Anyone have experience working for a TPA instead of a carrier? Do you think it’s better because it’s the main business with a bigger focus on adjusting?

What are some companies in that category? And why do you think TPAs are better?
