Definitely don�t want to split time in the city after retirement.
Posted on April 2, 2026 at 10:31:18 AM by flanker

I don�t hate the city, but I don�t like it enough to keep all that equity tied up in a home. I�d rather travel in a van or camper when I�m not home. Get a hotel for real city visits, and have the home within an hour of Asheville or Roanoke for when I need small city amenities.

It's important that you develop face-to-face rapport with your colleagues, so be in the office for your allotted time. And make sure you're spending at least 25% of your time figuring out how to incorporate AI into your daily responsibilities! -- Corporate Execs* - By Cap April 2, 2026 at 09:15:29 AM

Why not do option b with a 30 year? - By Harbaughdyssey April 2, 2026 at 08:11:05 AM
- If I think more practically about finances, I wonder if I should rent out my current house with the 2.99% mortgage, rent an apartment/condo close to work, and use my current savings for retirement land in NC or southwest VA mountains. - By flanker April 2, 2026 at 08:23:55 AM

Are you in the DC area still?* - By crumbs April 2, 2026 at 07:55:23 AM
- Charlotte, I only did one summer in DC with the SEC. DC is probably on the table under a Dem President after 2028 *** - By flanker April 2, 2026 at 08:00:10 AM

You're young. Is getting a new job and staying where you are an option?* - By Rich April 2, 2026 at 07:44:40 AM
- Feels like remote work is drying up, and expensive non-revenue generating resources are not high-priority. Only prospective employer that would be a good commute from my current house is primarily a broker-dealer, which is not a great fit for me. I keep an eye on their postings nonetheless. - By flanker April 2, 2026 at 07:51:16 AM
  - OK, so moving gives you a chance to look for other jobs as well* - By Rich April 2, 2026 at 07:52:44 AM
    - Yeah, opens up more feasible possibilities but I'm fairly content in my role - By flanker April 2, 2026 at 07:58:32 AM
- That was my first thought also* - By Lods April 2, 2026 at 07:45:50 AM
  - I was thinking that if flanker was 60, it would make sense to downsize or run out the clock on this job. Even then, I am not sure.... - By Rich April 2, 2026 at 07:48:36 AM
Do you get your own office, or are you in a cubicle/open office environment? nm - By mgaelster April 2, 2026 at 07:42:02 AM
- Open office for everyone except managing counsel or above. I have nicknamed one of the dumbasses that sits near me, "DJ Speakerphone," because she's often too fucking stupid to figure out her headset*** - By flanker April 2, 2026 at 07:46:30 AM
  - Absolutely disgusting. Should be a law; if work can be handled remotely, you have to either offer full time remote work or give everyone his or her own private office - By mgaelster April 2, 2026 at 09:01:26 AM
It is amazing how they view workers like children. * - By Cincywolve April 2, 2026 at 07:38:58 AM
- this precisely. we have people knocking down 200k who literally check badge swipes against timesheets. what in the actual fuck?* - By gratefultread April 2, 2026 at 08:57:04 AM
- I would pay a small amount of $ to sit in on your team meetings.* - By Lods April 2, 2026 at 07:44:48 AM
