If you're looking for a new job, I have a series of free newsletters to help with prep. They're geared to the tech industry, but the general/behavioral lists are helpful to everyone. You can even set your own pace for delivery, with no ads/promos!

I stopped using paid financial 'advisors'. Their fees & constant "rebalancing" of my portfolio meant I paid more taxes on the sales than the lean margins they managed to scrape up. I did a few weeks of learning and get 15-30% annual growth now.
financial advisors aren't maximizing your earnings, they're maximizing their client quantity. the playbook is simply to take on as many clients as possible and execute the same playbook while periodically answering your questions. 🚩 all for a percentage of your assets. 🚩

As a reminder, I have several free interview prep newsletters you can subscribe to (and set your own pace of how frequently you get them) over at No ads, no promos, only need an email to register, and I dump your info when you unsubscribe/finish.
