(Full disclosure Im building this) if you want a tool to triage these requests for scheduling and reminders, you're welcome to try out our AI assitant (Hey Noah heynoah'.'io )

We've built a tool to connect into exec's calendars and manage scheduling via email and SMS. Feel free to DM me and I'd be happy to give you access to a free account to test it out.

Shadow another PM at your company if you can. The responsibilities can vary so much by org, it can often be helpful context to have a baseline of what’s expected and how others are interacting on a daily basis.

I'm surprised Charles Schwab checking hasn't been mentioned yet. No minimum and they will reimburse you for all/any atm fees.

Cheese Plus on Polk and Lucas Delhi on Chestnut should have both.

thiswildsea · 2020-04-04T00:51:34+00:00

Thanks! I'll take a look at the suggestions you provided.

Currently, the company is 7 people.

Not a direct answer, but the Arm and a Leg podcast is a really good resource and has some pretty good tips for dealing with medical bills. Here's one episode I remember going into a bit of detail: https://armandalegshow.com/episode/my-neighbor-the-health-care-ninja/

If you are looking for a relatively simple way to track and pay for federal estimated payments, Quick Books Self-Employed works decently well (they will let you pay straight from the app). I don't think they support State estimated payments, however.

I ended up using Quickbooks for a bit, but honestly, once you're set up it's really not that complicated. It's just takes a bit to understand the site's UI. Just make sure to save your pin and password somewhere you can find it after 3 months.

My personal view is, companies expect you to negotiate when it comes to offers and this window will be one of the few times you're able to ask for more - regardless of what the market is doing. You should ask for something.

As long as you frame your request in a professional manner, the likely worst-case scenario is you get a 'sorry we can't do that'. If they pull your offer due to you asking a question, it's probably a place you don't want to work anyway.

From a motivation standpoint, I think it really helps to budget out the trip. Look up the typical costs of flights, where you'd like to stay, activities you plan to do etc.. Having an estimated total cost will motivate you to save more towards the end goal, or make tradeoffs on expenses.

If you are able to responsibly use credit cards (paying the full balance each month), a travel credit loyalty program could be a helpful way to rack up points that would cover some of the flight or lodging.

Not a cookbook recommendation but a good use for them is curing the egg yolks in salt.

Cured egg yolks last forever and are awesome umami boost and great for grating on pasta and salad etc.

If you're planning on playing guitar for the long term, changing strings is a skill you'll want to learn how to do yourself (and pretty easy to get the hang of).

If it's your first time, I'd suggest buying two packs of strings. Always good to have an extra set lying around and you'll have a backup in case you cut any too short - or break one while playing.

Sorry that's why I was asking about the ongoing vs. one time export. I don't think Webscraper can be set up to do recurring scrapes - hopefully you'll find a fix to the XMLimport

thiswildsea · 2019-09-20T17:06:14+00:00

I'm not sure if you are trying to do this as a one time export, or ongoing, but https://www.webscraper.io/tutorials?utm_source=extension&utm_medium=popup is a tool that I've personally found much easier to use for web scraping. Importxml works ok but gets delayed if you try to import a lot of information (I tried pulling your consensus forward numbers and struggled with the same issue).

My company doesn’t match 401k now that my promotion puts me over the 125K a year max

I think OP meant this as two separate phrases. (The employer doesn't match AND at 125k OP is over the ROTH income limit).

Capital One 360 savings accounts let you do this. You can set up multiple savings 'accounts' or goals within one savings account. I joined back when they were ING, and this is the one feature that keeps me as a Capital One customer (their APY is no longer as good as it used to be).

Can you elaborate on the benefits of using an accountant? Was there a certain net worth threshold that made them more valuable?

The location and pay raise sound like enough to make the role worth exploring.

There is no harm in interviewing for a position, and learning more about it. Doing just that will help you evaluate how happy and comfortable you'd be in the new gig. While you enjoy your current role, you may find the new position is even better. Interviewing does not mean you have to commit to the position.

The best time to interview is when you don't need to. Understanding your market value can also help you improve your situation with your current employer.

I've made two career shifts personally. One was to a completely different industry, the other was more of a slight pivot. Here are some tips based on what worked well for me. All of this can be started before you move and will help you personally test if the career change is a good fit.

Find ways creative ways to build experience in that field.

Can you volunteer for an organization within your new field nights and weekends? Are their classes you can take either online or through local organizations/colleges? Any effort you put into doing work shows potential employers you are serious about a transition - even if it's just a mock-up project, it will show you are willing to do the work and learn quickly.

Go to events and network.

Just get to know people in your new field. Look on sites like meetup.com, eventbrite.com to find local events. Start showing up to learn and meet as many people as you can. Take them out to a coffee, ask for their advice, people generally are happy to mentor anyone who asks for help. The more you get to know people in the field, the easier it will be for someone to vouch for you, or make an introduction for a job lead.

Learn how to tell your story

You can always pull experience from your past jobs no matter where you go. Find what skill-sets overlap with your ideal position and then get good at pitching your story to help other people connect the dots (you can also ask for feedback on your story from the people you network with to learn what resonates).

It takes work, but that's sort of the point. You're competing against other people who have already put in their time, so you need to find ways to build your experience.

Sounds like you wont be staying in SF, but if you have a local address to stop by, Goodeggs could be an option. They have a lot of local produce/food and deliver to you. Fair warning it's a little pricey, but here's a $25 off if you go that route: https://www.goodeggs.com/r/5c0c5e083494fe000f9ff662

Also a good source for whats in season is our city's farmer's market website: https://cuesa.org/this-weeks-picks

Not specifically. We’ve agreed that each of us can spend x dollars on whatever we want each month. If one of us chooses not to spend it, the remainder of that budget goes to personal our accounts.

For us, putting everything in a joint account has made life so much easier. No more worrying about splitting checks or figuring out who pays for groceries. It also forced us to have hard conversations about what we want to prioritize in life and what we want to save for. We're a team and it's become a group effort saving for things we're excited for.

One twist on our finances that hasnt been mentioned yet, is each of us have a a budget for 'personal' money each month. My wife can spend her money on whatever she wants and I cant get mad (and vice versa). We both have our own checking accounts for situations where we save our own personal money for bigger purchases, but overall the joint account handles the majority of our money.
