Now that you are making $$ out your asses and the whole world knows it, you’ll start getting calls from “financial advisors” trying to sell you whatever snake oil they are being paid to sell. Received one such call yesterday. Went like this: Them:” We want to schedule an appointment for a free advisory call with you to help you determine more tax efficient ways to diversify your money especially your RSUs. Oh, and we also work with many Meta and Google folks in the Bay Area” Me: “I dont need anything dude.. i sell my RSUs on vest and dump it all in a S&P500 index fund. Looks simple” Them: “Well that maybe simple but we have many ways and investments which can make you more money. Also, the advisory call is free because you work at Meta “ Me: “The advisory call may he free but Ill have to pay for it with my time. Time is important for me” Them: “ok, have a good day.” Ask them to pound sand. TC: $600k this year Yoe: 9
Bro u kame 600k and think are cool shit😂😂. Prob live in a shack in the bay area
Always give spammers a hard time.
My favorite pastime is to act completely stupid and make them explain EVERYTHING that comes out of their mouth. And then I refuse to let go when try to hand me off. I’m petty and I have time.
I never pick up such calls and waste my time. Time is more important
Tell them their data is wrong, you don’t work for meta, you don’t know what meta RSUs are, and you don’t have any savings.
Lolz
Haha! That would be cool! "What are you talking about? Are you mocking me fur my low account balance?"
Got plenty, one time I asked for what kind of return they were getting the past few years, they said it's confidential and can't tell me, lol, you want me to invest without showing proof of performance beating ETF? Well probably because they don't, but that was ridiculous. Now I keep the conversation shorter saying I'm happy with my investments.
Simple rule - retain half and convert the remaining half to VTI, QQQ, SCHD and thank me later
Genuine questions — Why VTI, QQQ, SCHD? Why not just VOO?
VOO concentrates only on top 500 companies with a dividend of 1.4%. SCHD gives decent growth wrt Dow index with dividend of 3.3% . QQQ provides solid growth. VTI covers the whole US market which would be safer than VOO as in small cap growth will also be included . VTI returns and dividend are same as VOO
I get these guys all the time and we’re not even public.
Had some Northwestern mutual fuck try to sell me on $500 per month in whole life insurance right out of college. Dude’s LinkedIn bio is literally that he specializes in “NRI finance” and helping those who are on visas. They’re predatory
You could also just not pick up
yeah it's that easy
I had some free time :(
