    She is right. I stayed at a job for 12 years with a bachelor's and master's degree without a promotion. Eventually, I made the salary of a manager, the job was secure so I stayed, but I now realize I could have made $100k to $200k a year more if I would not have been afraid to move on & this is not an exaggeration.

      Facts, I stayed at my first adult job for 5 yrs with only a 5CENT raise, I finally got areal raise my last year. Everyone told me to job hope every 2 yrs,I didn't believe them.
      I final got so fed up I started job hopping and in the 5 yrs I did that I went from $31,600 to $96,000.
      Now changing careers I am doing the same. Yr 1/2 down I'm gone next yr if the raise isn't 5% min. But taking advantage of the tuition reimto get extra training the company pays for 😂.smarter not harder🎉

      Guys don't afraid that HR will see your resume as not hireable if you are a job hopper. If the company, manager sees you are valuable they won't really give a fuck. They need your skills within that moment. Sooner or later all of them will go to another company. Funny shit is that an HR was making me stay with the company saying I have not stayed there long enough, 2 months later she resigned and found a better company lol. People will also say shit like you shouldn't do this or that, but when the opportunity comes they break their own words.
      Another benefit with job hopping is that you have a lot more skills, can socialize better to other people since your colleagues keep changing. Don't job hop to other company if you are just gonna do the same shit, it should at least be a different kind of specialization, or different kind of field while still similar to your job.
      Also aren't any of you get bored when you do the same shit over and over again, and already have mastery over it?

    I like Vivian's perspective. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

      In fact, I had no prior experience or understanding when I began investing in 2020, but by the end of 2023, I had made a profit of almost $850k. All I had been doing was going by what my financial advisor had told me. This demonstrates that all you truly need is a professional to assist you; you don't even need to be a great investor or put in a lot of work.

      What bait? She came from a place of privilege, which a lot of other Asians don’t come from. A lot of other Asians work super hard, and will be waved away the same opportunities that others would get. I’m for equality, and I can stand behind that to an extent. I feel a bit slighted that she didn’t address how some of us fear walking in the streets though, because of how bad violence against Asians are. Some Chinese elder just decided to head back to China after being assaulted/hospitalized for the third time in Oakland, yet no one’s willing to start that hard conversation. For one of him, there’s dozens if not hundreds/thousands that have no means to leave a bad environment. She plays it safe, which I can respect because going against a whole narrative is hard, but I won’t be applauding her stance of pandering to a narrative.
      It’s good to see her succeed, but I don’t think her addressing of the racial issues is to my liking.

      I started investing in the stock market because of dividends. What matters, in my opinion, is that if you invest and earn more money in addition to dividends, you will be able to live off of dividends without selling. It implies that you can pass that on to your children, giving them a head start in life. I've invested over $600k in dividend stocks over the years; I continue to buy more today and will continue to do so until the price lowers even further.

      I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over 1.5 million dollars working with an investment coach for more than two years

    10-yr working here. I did the 2-year up or out. One factor you need to consider besides the 10-20% pay bump each job change is that your $/ hours of work. Working 40 hour workweek on a $100k salary is significantly better than 60-70 hour workweek on a $120k... A $48/ hour versus a $38/ hour.

      I would argue to say that it's better to have a better job that makes more money for the same amount of time than having a side hustle. You will be putting a bunch of hours in your hustle, and unless there's real potential to exceed what you are earning in your 9-5, it will suck you dry and time will pass. Better to use that time to use in meaningful time with friends, family, and hobbies. At least that's how I see it.
