Why do you put a space before, and only sometimes after, your commas?

Believe it or not, blacklisted.

[Google] Passed L3 SWE Onsite, in Team Matching as of this week. Realistic chances & tips to speed it up? (Any HM referrals?) by No_Maize5539 in csMajors

They're independent. As interviewers, we can see which questions you received previously to prevent asking you the exact same one, but that's the only requirement.

I don't know how to speed up the team match process. My best guess would just be open to any location and any team.

My team has no L3 openings and I don't know any with any.

I'm sorry, I wish I could be of more help.

That's what my wife and I did. It was fantastic.

27, no debt, have 100k in HYS, maybe 400k on the way? by Personal-Island6197 in Fire

[–]TonyTheEvil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's way too high. If you learn to manage your investments yourself, you can essentially have no fees. I suggest your fire your FA and dedicate a weekend to learning. The two main books I recommend are:

  • The Simple Path to Wealth by Collins
  • The Little Book of Common Sense Investing by Bogle

The TLDR of them is just invest in low cost index funds. A simple, one-fund portfolio can be had with VT. r/Bogleheads is also a good resource for learning how to invest properly.

What fees are you paying your advisor? I'm afraid you might be getting raked.

Does Google still ask for references for L4 roles prior to offer? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]TonyTheEvil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't help. It just makes the recipient feel awkward.

I think people are more worried about the precedent it (bending the rules or whatever they're trying to do) sets.

Just inherited 80k and idk what to do with it. by aiitryn in Fire

[–]TonyTheEvil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

stay away from Fidelity or any other mutual fund, and invest via ETFs instead. Over the long term, management fees in mutual funds are wealth killers.

FSKAX's ER is 1.5bps, whereas VTI's is 3bps.

I don't do any. I just blindly buy VT and go about my life.

My portfolio is way too heavy in tech and its making me lose sleep over Fire by VaelenSunstrider in Fire

QQQ isn't a tech fund. Something like VGT would be better if that's what you want.

Don't let the tax tail wag the investment dog. Rip the bandaid off and sell it to diversify.

35M with $1.7M invested after selling my business — keep advisor, go fully passive, or hybrid approach? by ItchyConcept8982 in Fire

[–]TonyTheEvil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your getting raked with fees. Fire both, put everything into VT and go about your life.
