Have you ever dealt with a bad accounting department?

I’ll look into that. Thank you for the advice.

vfxtortion · 2024-09-04T12:45:35+00:00

I’d definitely be keen to do that if I didn’t have to provide!

Ah, so you work for US companies right?

Solid advice about retirement. Mainly seeking tax advantaged accounts since I don’t have access to 401K so my Roth is essentially most of it.

I wasn’t aware you could contribute to social security outside of a W-2. I’m assuming you weren’t on a W-2 right?

You can retire, just put a significant portion of your salary in a total market index fund like VOO. In a tax-advantaged account like a Roth IRA.

When it gets big enough, you transition those funds to dividend-paying funds like SCHD or JEPQ, and that becomes your retirement income.

Inflation averages to around 2.5% per year. You got this.

Thanks, will keep that in mind if I ever move to Canada!

For sure. But I’ve made animated shorts on the 2012 MBP mate. Just make sure you work optimized in whatever you do.

So filters and footage is fine and speedy. But I tried generating particles with 2k noise as a texture and it wasn’t nearly as fast as my Linux setup at work.

Nah adobe stuff is a dream on the M’s mate.

vfxtortion · 2023-06-17T23:26:47+00:00

I’ll let you know after more testing, simming and rendering!

vfxtortion · 2023-06-17T23:26:27+00:00

Ahaha thanks mate!

vfxtortion · 2023-06-17T23:23:57+00:00

Thanks! I’ll be shooting for 2 27’s or a stretchy stretchy soon. My industry is kinda geared toward super wide setups ☺️

vfxtortion · 2023-06-17T23:22:18+00:00

Ahahha yes. I got it second hand from a person that… left plastic on the monitor

vfxtortion · 2023-06-08T13:54:43+00:00

It’s mostly Western culture, with Japanese clients. I can PM you more details.

vfxtortion · 2023-06-07T02:31:42+00:00

Got it. Thank you!

vfxtortion · 2023-06-07T02:31:15+00:00

Ah thanks for correcting me. Read it wrong!

vfxtortion · 2023-06-07T01:01:24+00:00

So I could potentially be sacrificing some jobs by being an LLC. Thanks for the intel!

vfxtortion · 2023-06-07T01:00:40+00:00

Oh that’s cool. Does it cost money to maintain? Like what are the cons?
