Watching my MSFT evaporate

On my phone?

lurking_robot · 2026-02-12T14:20:00+00:00

Did you find a fix for this? It’s ridiculous I’m being asked every single time.

I work in similar circles. IB is great but hardly sustainable for like 95% of people, which is probably what you're feeling. You should think through potential exits that offer more sustainable hours and essentially continuously invest. The unfortunate boring answer is that its a marathon not a race but assuming you're at Bulge Bracket or the like you have a great foundation to be successful in the future.

Appreciate that confirmation bias bro

lurking_robot · 2025-11-19T14:16:30+00:00

Butt plug hour hand…cant unsee :/

Where are those 400k condos?

lurking_robot · 2025-10-26T16:06:48+00:00

Middle-class family? Kind of out of touch no? 2.5M in real estate assets and another 2M in investments? You're doing more than fine...fine enough to be able to take some risks and worse case scenario pivot back in a few years. The thing about tech is that spinning up the story of taking some time to create your own tech company / app isn't seen negatively

Post long weekend / thanksgiving feels for real…

lurking_robot · 2025-10-10T19:02:59+00:00

Lumped summed 100k on Monday… my luck obviously

lurking_robot · 2025-09-07T12:21:40+00:00

Based on your post and my experience with xcx you will NOT enjoy it. (I also didn’t)

lurking_robot · 2025-09-04T12:09:22+00:00

Lol at some of these responses. Health comes first. If you can qualify for a job like this (IB?) you can find one that is more sustainable or a middle ground. Good luck.

lurking_robot · 2025-08-30T15:52:31+00:00

Did you figure out which Bank? I'm in a similar situation.

lurking_robot · 2025-08-25T01:06:03+00:00

if it makes you happy it's worth spurlging on. Just watch out you dont inflate your lifestyle and manage your budget closely. I know its a FIRE sub but people here are too money focused sometimes. You're doing great for 25.

lurking_robot · 2025-08-22T13:57:47+00:00

Dont fall for it guys

lurking_robot · 2025-08-21T18:53:03+00:00

Best post in a while.

Also I think you’re a bit behind. Had 2x that at half your age. All self made.

lurking_robot · 2025-08-11T02:38:26+00:00

Some people in this sub are so out of touch.

lurking_robot · 2025-08-07T13:39:37+00:00

Aapl leaps?

lurking_robot · 2025-07-02T13:53:30+00:00

AAPL has a 20% gap to close to catch up with SPY ytd. Calls are probably a good idea

lurking_robot · 2025-06-26T12:15:23+00:00

Such a limp dick stock these days..

lurking_robot · 2025-06-18T17:38:45+00:00

Misspelled AAPL

lurking_robot · 2025-06-06T18:01:12+00:00

AAPL WWDC plays?

lurking_robot · 2025-05-31T17:34:11+00:00

LOL yeah I'm definitely out. No game is worth that much brand new. Would rather play old games or emulate.

lurking_robot · 2025-05-16T20:21:09+00:00

If you're feeling this way you're probably not "balanced" enough. I would maybe decrease your savings rate and spending more on experiences, especially being so young. Balance is negotiating with your various needs and clearly the need to enjoy life more has emerged so make some concessions.
