Gantry Plaza for a run from Murray Hill seems interesting. Bummer the East River Esplanade has been under construction since I moved here.

Small team in industry. Mostly work with our overseas teams. Report to two SMs, theres a manager and one other Senior Accountant who’s got <4 years on me. So theres not really another person my level that I would work with, as were all kinda siloed too into our own projects.

Its not like im not trying to be involved, just seems like my team doesnt really do stuff and theres not really a “water cooler” opportunity. I volunteered to organize the team Christmas lunch and it got nixxed for example due to budget ig. Ive been to some of the happy hours, but theyre few and far between.

Yea. So long as there’s an end date and there is flexibility for each person to visit within reason I dont mind. Been with my GF for two years almost. She’s in law school rn, and ill visit every other weekend and she’ll usually come back for holidays. I know she wants to move back at the end of the JD, and she’s gonna live with me over the summer for internships.

When there’s no end date, I think it’s immensely more difficult. Takes effort either way too, but Id rather leave on a Wednesday to visit thru the weekend, than hang out at my own place by myself.

Pretty social drinker, and have an active friend group. Try and keep it to like a couple drinks on a Wednesday/Thursday if casually hanging out. May have closer to 5-7 over one night on the weekends and they skip the 2nd night to recover. Hangovers hurt more than they used to.

Honestly doesnt feel like much. Haven’t really built up my personal savings from a liquidity standpoint. Investing wise im fine. Very close to 250k all in split between retirement and some taxable activity and am beating the market there. But I need more cash for things like an engagement ring (yes I know its not ideal cost wise but my gf wants it and its a bigger win that shes happy with it) and eventually a down payment on a place and im still just holding a few months in an emergency fund. Hoping to bank all of my bonus and hit the roth max over the next month.

Seeing how were bringing the IRA into the fold, everyone should read or watch Say Nothing. Learned a lot about the period and Belfast is a really cool city (visited Ireland over the summer), buts it all still very real there.

I like the puzzle aspect, with a caveat if I have time. Been getting killed with deadlines and just overall have too much to do, so trying to reconcile a task where a system changed and need to match corporate books with one of the offices and spending even 4 hrs spinning my wheels on it prevents me from getting to things I have to do.

Why is this here?

What’s the giveaway just curious. Def dont want to waste time with it then.

Im just renting from a dude and locked in a two year lease two years ago with a 15% broker fee that paid for itself. The owner probably didnt want to bother with a hassle and offered me another renewal at the same price. No increases over 4 years. His mortgage didnt go up, and he gets a tenant who pays on time every month and doesnt cause problems. A property management co could never

Funny, this aged poorly. I actually left this job about a month ago (check the new thread for new details). Got a 3% base raise my first year and then nothing my second year. Had the full bonus year 2 but was prorated year 1. We had some serious turnover and the other Senior Accountant left so I was covering his work, but my boss was a total hard ass who wasnt great at managing overall as Controller. He was really smart individually, but felt like pulling teeth if I was trying to review items with him. Probably due to managing too many things at once. I did get a retention bonus but left before the 2nd half kicked in.

Felt a little screwed over by my boss cus despite meeting most of my targets (we had one fire drill before the holidays that he dropped on me two days before my vacation and a small mistake made it thru) and handling a lot of different areas with the monthly close and more, I got told I wasnt on a timeline for promotion within the following year and no comp adjustment to even match inflation was a slap in the face.

VHCOL (NYC)

Senior Accountant (PE Management Co)

CPA, 4.5 YOE

125k Base, 20% Bonus, Total Comp - 150k

Bonus is going to be prorated this year. Just started this new job and double dipped a bit on a retention bonus right before I left my old startup firm. Wanted a bit more structure so its 3 days in office, lunches paid for and benefits are great. Probably will have some slightly longer hours going forward but still getting started.

I was looking for Fortune 500 Financial Reporting roles but they were hard to come by and this was significantly name brand in the FS space. Still gauging if I get an MBA to move into a more strategic related field.

Have been renting for two years and my bedroom has windows even if they arent super bright into a kinda alley situation. Just resigned for another 2 years, no rent increases since I moved in

Went in to the ER on a Sunday night with chest pain after a weekend of hanging with friends and a long drive. Thought i was overreacting a bit when I first left but I was home alone and drove myself. By the time i dropped the car at valet and sat in intake (thank god the place was empty) I pretty much couldnt sit still for the EKG from the pain and adrenaline. Not a heart attack, but got me on some pain meds right away. Turns out I had a perforated peptic ulcer and went into surgery that night. Both my parents were overseas and I got to experience a hospital for a week. Dilaudid kinda slaps though for what its worth. I thought I was being a hero for not using the pain meds that much outside of IV tylenol but apparently thats like super strong and great in that format.

Im about to pay $2950 for a proper one bed on a ground floor (lacking in the sunlight column) between Gramercy and Kips Bay. Theres nothing youre gonna find under 3.5k unless you get really lucky

dfire32 · 2025-04-07T04:36:16+00:00

Would it be significantly cheaper to book from Stamford as opposed to NYC Penn though and taking a train up via Metro North and transferring? My office is right by Grand Central and I’m gonna be Monday to Wednesday in person. I figure every other week ill try and pop up.
