Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Thesis: Someone has made a massive long position in the markets which must've triggered several sell orders after a gap up opening in the markets. I have purchased some calls for the next expiry now. Let's see how it pans out.

What do the rest of you think? What is up with the markets because I am in deep green over the last couple of weeks.

🐋 alert: Someone made a major long position. Is this the smart money entering the markets?

I have been using the prominent dating apps since quite some time, they work well initially but slowly the experience feels like a drag. It’s just a bunch of connections you talk to and it mostly ends up being a dead conversation. 

I realised when you engage with users who are genuinely looking to date it’s much easier to meet up since everyone is aligned. My hypothesis is that adding more friction on onboarding (not blindly adding this ofcourse) could weed out the users with low intent and leave you with a high quality user base. What do you guys think is the problem with dating apps in general?

P.S: this is a random 5am thought and I had to post it since I can’t stop thinking about it and wanted to hear other, and probably smarter, people out haha 🙌

Dating apps are broken?

This post is for younger minds to not fall for ESOPs as a wealth creation tool.

Why do I say that? 

ESOP pool is generally less than 10% of total equity distributed among thousand and ten thousands of employees. The share you get is miniscule. 
Founders saying that the pie will be big enough so that this percentage will matter is a hyper-optimistic prediction with nothing to back it.

You have to ideally wait till IPO to even make the miniscule amount. Very few companies buyback and fewer will do post-ZIRP 

ESOPs only give you the option to buy not right to buy. Company can in some circumstances take that right away. People in positions of power should negotiate for rights not option. 

The success rate of startups is less than 10% which means the chances of this miniscule amount is low. 

Overall, lowering your salary for more ESOPs won't make sense unless you are convinced that the startup will go big.

I resigned recently and proposed date of 30days. I know that it's officially 90days. So i talked to my manager. He said he Will get back to me. I again send a reminder mail to check into this. Without replying to that mail, they rejected my proposed dqte and approved fo 90days

What to do now? I am actually in active project from 2years and it extended for another 6months .
They didn't even consider my extra leaves and buy out.

Does anyone here do trading ?  In options or futures ?
I also want to learn the same. Any suggestions from where should I start ? Thanks in advance

Does Anyone here do trading ?

never work hard for your employer.

never work hard for someone else's eyes.

never work hard for worldly recognition.

work hard because it makes you feel good.

those who work hard only to gain validation from their employer are usually the ones who later start hating all employers in general.

What's your opinion on this?

I tried Hinge(non-paid) multiple times but rarely get matches. I truly think that profiles on Hinge are relevant and good. But never see any matches. I believe hinge's free plan is very poor wrt other apps. You don't get right visibility. 
Any experiences? Thoughts? Hacks?

What's your opinion on this ?

Getting an offer of 30LPA as a SBA at GamesKraft. But the thing is, I just joined Swiggy like 7-8 months back. 

(I was just randomly interviewing tbh. Just to ensure my skills are still at par with the market in case something bad happens.)

But the salary hike is a good one. It will probably take me a good ~2 years (ATLEAST) to reach there if I stay at Swiggy. What should I do? My esops haven’t even vested yet. And I can always interview for a hike in case my salary progression gets stale later, right?

And the work here is good. I am getting to learn a lot, plus it’s wfh. And Gameskraft had the tax issues with the betting thing. IS IT WORTH IT? Am i being greedy? Do i make the jump? Or do I be patient?

Is this worth it?

Option 1
Base 75 LPA and 10% performance bonus
Listed US MNC

Option 2
Base 63 + 10% Performance Bonus
US Startup and REMOTE

Which one should I choose ?

Recently caught up with a friend who works for an “employee friendly” HR tech company. This brand has been boasting about how great they are with the sort of employee benefits they offer. The founder specially keeps boasting about this on LinkedIn and Twitter. 
Found out yesterday, that the employee benefits come at a cost of micro management and a toxic environment at the workplace. Really sad to see the perceptions that the brands create and the reality they offer. 

Would you prefer:
1. Few employee benefits with no micromanagement? Or
2. More employee benefits at the cost of micromanagement?

Number one definitely.

So, here's more context-
Let's say you are in mid 20s, earning decent amount. But you haven't explored different jobs/work. Haven't been through much situations, etc.
Now, given a choice between staying always at this high paying job that you are good at vs exploring your life, what would you do?

Or would you be in the high paying job, work your ass off while at the same time part time work on other things and see what makes sense to you?

What will you choose?

I am currently working in service based company with 10+ years of experience. Can I apply in FAANG companies for SDE-1/2/3? What are the chances of getting shortlisted?

Recently I went through a post on Reddit where a woman(Indian) had asked for opinions of how people of the sub(the sub is dominated by westerners) perceived Indians.

Apparently the common answer from women for Indian men was: they are unhygienic, stink a lot, super desperate and were the majority of the population in blind dating scenarios. So essentially non-datable.

The common answer from men for Indian Woman was: overly ambitious, obnoxious, highly opinionated to the extent any deviations from their thought process was not perceived well by them. Not non-datable but not preferred either. 

Of course, the answers will be highly skewed considering a very limited audience but just the commonality in a lot of comments caught my attention.

People who have been abroad or have regularly interacted with a lot of foreigners, has this been the experience?

This verified screenshot is from one of my trading account. The capital at the time this portfolio was deployed was ₹50 lakhs, starting in mid-October 2023. It has already generated returns of over 52%, with just over a month remaining to hit the target of 55-60% for the year. This reflects both gross and net profits. I invested in a few good mutual funds in this account and pledged them to generate trading capital. The returns from these mutual funds are additional, and I am using them to offset all government taxes and charges. Additionally, I never carried any positions overnight; this is purely day trading, using sound risk management principles.

PS - For the haters: I’m sharing this to show that these results are achievable. And yes, for me, 35% over 5 years is insufficient. You can call me "kitty aunty" or say I’m not an investment banker, but the facts speak for themselves.

perseverance, a structured approach, and effective risk management, You got it!!

Engineering Manager

Didn’t work for almost a year. 

Here is what I did:
1/ got great photos - outdoor, indoor, cozy 
2/ prompts which are genuine 
3/ abundance mindset- not trying to flirt too much 

It’s a game of patience. Ama.
