Changing Terms Of Employment Contract Pre-Hire

Apparently, it is possible. One user's report:
A while back I asked here if you could request the "do not work for another job" section to be removed from any facebook/meta employment offer contract. The answer is yes, it's possible (for E5 anyways). You'll have to really push for it, and state no level of additional compensation will change your mind about it. I'm pretty sure I got offered like 15% less than what I could've got because of this, but I have a +90% from J1 to make up for it. So yeah, if anyone is thinking about Meta, you can reduce your risk of legal problems if you really wanted to....

What are the best steps to use AI to create a resume using keywords?

I've seen several mentions of people using AI to generate resumes now; but I wanted to see how we can integrate the keyword analyzer method that we previously used and how to integrate this into AI. Furthermore, which AI programs to use and which steps to take? I tried looking on Youtube but it was a bunch of garbage clickbait.

How can I benefit from Life Insurance?

Based on a response by @Manatee Outlaw to a question in the finance channel TLDR here's the concept: 1) You buy a permanent life insurance policy; this could be whole life (grows at a set % every year, contractually obligated, agnostic towards any market conditions, potential dividends if you're in a mutual insurance company policy) or variable universal life insurance (same thing but different.). Since we're all gambling Oe 150J's behind the denny's people here, we're gonna go with the 🅱️ased option and talk variable. But the concept is the same. ...

What are some things I should ask before OE?

Need some help with the thought process
Solution:
- are you willing to keep j1 on your resume, or are you going to hide it? (this is a loaded question) - are you going for a w2 role, or a 1099 role? - how is your workload for j1 right now? - do you understand that you may need a good tech setup to handle conflicting meetings? - do you think you'll be the type who will tackle conflicting meetings, or are you senior enough to push them all?...

What can employers do LEGALLY? Can they SUE me?

title
Solution:
https://discord.com/invite/join-infoe 1. OE may be tortious, but certainly not illegal unless you start getting into secondary areas, like tax or dealing with government entities or classified information. 2. Breach of contract is the most likely avenue for employers to pursue damages from your OE activities. But I use the term "damages" loosely-- they need to be actual or consequential, not punitive. There's also a potential for liquidated damages, but your employment contract would need to specify liquidated damages & they need to be reasonable. Those are questions of fact for the factfinder (jury or judge, depending on whether it's a jury trial or bench trial)...

Beginner's personal finance for the OE W2 employee

I've been doing a lot of reading about personal finance since starting OE. I'm by no means an expert, but thought I might be able to help out others who have recently increased their tax bracket and want to make sure they're setting themselves up for future wealth by making their money work for them. I know I was very confused by things like backdoor roths and mega backdoor roths when I started researching. This is in order of priority. Complete each step before going on to the next. 1. Build up an emergency fund of at least 3 months of expenses. Store it in a high yield savings account (HYSA)....

Is there a guide to having two jobs?

Is there a guide to having two jobs? like a how to not mess it up or make the managers suspicious or keep up without dropping the ball on either side?
Solution:
there is no one-stop-shop guide because many people have extremely different situations. what works for you may not work for someone else which can render many parts of the guide useless - the first thing to note is to ensure that you are as indistinguishable from a 1-jobber as possible. which, frankly, the bar is really low already since 1-jobbers tend to also slack off from time to time. You're just re-allocating that time for another job. - It's your choice whether or not you want to shoot for sustainability, or churn-and-burn (another reason why a one-stop-shop guide doesn't work because i could be giving you advice on how to sustain and maintain two FAANG-tier roles for years, but you may only be interested in taking on 5 different 100k jobs and just churn them when things go south)...
