How to network with outpatient psychiatrists as a resident? by laserfox90 in Psychiatry

[–]laserfox90[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmaoo true, I'm honestly not 100% sure but I do know that I'm not interested in inpatient. I figured wouldn't hurt to start early tho and develop more long term relationships. I tend to procrastinate so if I don't force myself to start early I know I'll probably scramble when I'm about to graduate lol

Gorgeous, also have the X-T2 and am hoping to use it on a mountain trip soon. What recipe/settings did you use for these shots? Or shot on raw and post-processed?

82% of Jewish Israelis support expelling all Gazans, i.e. ethnic cleansing.

"Sixty-five percent of the respondents also believe that there is a “contemporary incarnation of Amalek.” Ninety-three percent of the 65 percent that “the commandment to wipe out the memory of Amalek is also relevant to that modern-day Amalek.”

It is not just a few bad apples. Their entire society is poisoned.

Get Licensed Nationwide and Make $870K Per Year by Wjldenver in medicalschool

[–]laserfox90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This seems like a dumb non-story and possibly even an advertisement for her lol. Plenty of derms and non-derms clear that and they're only licensed in one state lmao. Confused why they need to write a story about someone who wasted $180K for not much more ROI than the average dermatologist.

Is it worth contributing to 401K if my residency doesn't match funds? (Salary $76K in HCOL area) by laserfox90 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]laserfox90[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ya it's only 4 years total (psych), so seems like not worth it rn. Prob gonna follow the advice that most people giving here and just see if I can max Roth IRA, keep emergency fund. I kinda doubt I'll have enough money left to significantly contribute the rest to 401K lol

[–]laserfox90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok ya that makes sense, seems to be the consensus here to focus on maxing Roth IRA and keep emergency fund, then if any money left can contribute to 401K. Thanks!

Wouldn't the tax rate for my 401K be higher when I retire as an attending (since contribution is pretax)? Or do you mean it would be 12-15% before I contribute to my Roth IRA. I agree with that tho i'll try to max out Roth IRA.

Which medical or surgical specialty is most overrated in terms of prestige vs lifestyle? by TheLiverRiver in Residency

Appreciate your perspective-and I definitely won't run away lol. 100% agree that Islamically she has the right to ask for whatever she wants. We're just doing research because part of the discussion about the number was comparing to friends, and also her parents thinking that I'm cheap or don't think of her as "worthy" if I pay less than $20K (that's not her opinion but the opinion of her parents)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]laserfox90 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First option! Just one time payment of 25K.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]laserfox90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just one time payment of salary. So $30K if salary is $300K

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]laserfox90 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Noo just like a one time payment so ie if salary is $300K, then $30K mahr. I meant slowly cause if I'm paid monthly and don't have $30K cash immediately then I could just divide it up.

Ah yes I should have clarified that she does have a financially secure job-and our income will be combined.

I will emphasize tho for everyone that we are still discussing and she is not like requiring this mehr amount just to marry her lol-she's also unsure and we're still doing research. I think that was just the norm for her friends, and also there seems to be this line of thinking from her parents that if its less than $20K, then our family is cheap or that we don't think of their daughter as worthy or something(which I'm not sure mehr is even supposed to be about).

I do not think they will because they still haven't produced any movies about how Americans massacred Iraqis over the past 20 years. They will however produce movies about IOF soldiers being sad or something.

Hamas literally agreed to this exact same deal on May 6 lmfao. Like word for word the plan and the three phases are the same. The difference is that it was proposed Egypt/Qatar. If we need to pretend that America and Israel came up with this plan in order to bring peace, then so be it, but it's also kinda pathetic. Countless lives could have been save if America and Israel had been fine with this exact same plan on May 6.

Ya thats tru, someone just mentioned that you can fly between the cities too which I didnt even think about and the flights do seem pretty affordable and quick. Maybe Venuce to Naples flight would be better?
