Would you mind working at WLB company while doing investment?
Imagine the following four scenarios: A: working as Netflix Senior, Snap L4, FB E5 for 400k ~ 600k TC a year, with all investment in SPY with minimal/no investment activity (passive investment, mutual fund, wealth front, etc) B: working as Uber 5a, Linkedin Staff, Dropbox IC 3 for 300k~400k TC a year, with all investment allocated up to 10 stock picks with small effort of tracking and trading. C: working for Google/Microsoft/Intuit/etc, for some kind of TC a year, with active trading in investment activity on stocks (e.g. more than 20 stock picks) D: no full-time tech work, and active trading in all of stocks/options/futures, and even do day trading if necessary Edit: Without knowing each of your individual situation, I assume with net worth growing, there is more motivation to move the load from work, to family-focused activity and investment activity.

all these trading posts means we are nearing a top lmao btw i’ve been doing option c, and it’s not fulfilling.
Not fulfilling at work, or due to investment performance?
active trading requires a lot of effort to do correctly, and it is mentally taxing to stare at charts for hours at a time.
I traded options and have lost half year’s salary
Never give up! You will get better with more experience. Trade the remaining half year salary.
Yes, and once you lose the remaining half of salary, get a loan and trade that as well! You will get better, don’t worry!
I worked at Group A but invest in FAMG stocks, plus some China tech giant like BABA and tencent. Doing this for years and feel really comfortable
Option C if you are still testing the waters. D if you are confident in your ability. A and B are just all talk no action. You will regret making this choice because you will miss on pursuing what you are passionate about.
I am between Group C and D. Barely working at FB to get Meets All and pulling 600k. Gotten below expectation once as well. Just don't care.
>>> I am between Group C and D. Barely working at FB to get Meets >>> All and pulling 600k. Gotten below expectation once as well. Just >>> don't care. @facebook: Ha, TC 600K with low workload, while doing investment should be option E
How much of 600 is from trading?
