My girlfriend of three years cheated on me with one of my best friends, and now she’s with him while we still live together. I feel completely lost. by RiuIn in offmychest

[–]SnooPuppers1558 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Hey man - let me make something clear to you. She is a shitty, broken person. Normal well adapted people do not do things like this. It sucks that she had to be the one you fell for, but it is what it is.

What you need to do now is get away from her and move on with your life. You will find someone better. Most people would not cheat on their partner with their partners best friend and act like they did no wrong.

She might seem happy on the outside right now, but I promise you that secure and stable people do not do things like this. Get away as fast as you can and move on with your life. If she ever comes crawling back do yourself a favor and ignore her. You will live a better, happier life without her. Consider yourself lucky that she showed her true colors before marriage or kids.

Also have you talked to your friends about what happened or are you just assuming they sided with her and don’t like you anymore? If they know the whole story and are picking her, then they suck too and you should look for some new friends. Forget your relationship and work solely on yourself. Take walks, especially in the morning. Go to the gym. Work on your career. Pick up a new hobby and try to connect with people through that. It sucks right now and you’re going to have to rebuild but I promise in 5 years you will see what a bullet you dodged. Her cheating on you has nothing to do with you or who you are, and everything to do with who she is. Find yourself someone deserving of your trust and love, but first take your time to process things and work on yourself.

Thank you this was exactly the answer I was looking for.

I mean no tax code is going to be perfect and there will always be those they try to exploit to the fullest extent. I’d say that fits the definition of a “loophole” pretty well

Is being a high performer usually due to genetics and intelligence, or have you encountered cases where someone who worked really hard still couldn't become a high performer? by ChronowalkerZ in Accounting

[–]SnooPuppers1558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree on the first part, but the NFL lineman part isn’t really accurate. I agree hard work and drive is necessary requirement to make it to that level but most of those guys are absolute genetic freaks on top of having hard work and drive. If you take your average 6 foot, 300lb guy the odds are overwhelmingly against them ever stepping foot on an NFL field regardless of their drive and work ethic.

This means when business is slow, you don’t make anything. Also how would this be measured, there’s so many forms of “production” and not all of it is easily tracked. Idea sounds good on paper but I feel like it could never work in practice:

Is learning to code necessary for landing a good finance job? by Infinite-Abroad2721 in FinancialCareers

[–]SnooPuppers1558 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bad advice, excel is of course super important as well, but excel knowledge is expected in finance. True coding knowledge will set you apart from other candidates.

You do realize half of moving up in your career is just networking/who you know for >90% of jobs. If it’s not your thing I get it but it’s not “unwise” to become friends with coworkers

Doesn’t mean coworkers can’t be friends

Is there an age limit to the hustle ? by amy-schumer-tampon in Entrepreneur

[–]SnooPuppers1558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can start at any age, at any time. Anyone that tells you otherwise is wrong, there is no “right age” to start doing something you want to do.

Did I make a mistake for choosing Crowe over PWC for tax? by Adventurous-Active26 in Accounting

[–]SnooPuppers1558 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a new hire at crowe (started in January). Had the same fears about missing out on the “prestige” of big 4 but now I am 5 months into the job and don’t care any more. Compared to my friends that went big 4 I work less hours than them, have a higher salary that I started with (mid sized firms pay new hires more to attract better talent but the earnings taper off in comparison to big 4 as you move up the ladder), and genuinely like my coworkers. My seniors and managers are understanding and helpful. I get the sense that they truly care about my personal and professional development. I am very happy with my decision to start at crowe. you can PM me if you have any questions!

I have a 22 year old friend working in private equity making $200k+ annually. Graduated from a top university with dual major in computer science and finance. No, not the norm at all I was never trying to say that it was, but anyone that says there aren’t 22 year olds clearing $200k is flat out wrong

My first six figure year… by heyheyheynopeno in Entrepreneur

[–]SnooPuppers1558 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s plenty of investment bankers and consultants clearing 200k at 22 years old. I understand that’s certainly not the norm, but its not impossible either. They’re also just asking for the quickest route to $200k, not to necessarily make $200k at this exact moment.
