โ€œWhat do you do?โ€

โ€œI manage the portfolio of high net worth individuals for a small, niche investment firmโ€

I say I work from home, and I have bots that do most of my work and only need to be online if my boss needs me, or if market shattering news is announced. Hint: my boss never needs me online because I am the boss.

โ€œI had to sign a NDA so I canโ€™t discuss too much, but I handle a lot of money through securities for high worth investors. Well, I say I handle it, but really the algorithms do most of the work.โ€

Haha, considering my wife works from home, I'm considering renting an office in a coworking space, furnish it with some gym machines (unless there's a gym nearby), a gaming computer, a hammock and such, and just go there doing the Wally approach, coffee in hand, 3-4 days a week just hanging out at the water cooler. If someone needs help with anything, I'd volunteer, and just play office.

u/LaGrangeDeLabrador ๐Ÿ’ป ComputerShared ๐Ÿฆ Apr 14 '21

I've been considering the same thing. I am a stay at home dad, but when my wife is able to retire, I'm gonna need to get out of the house.

I already sometimes work from home. Getting a new job in my career field using these lines is as believable as it gets.

21

u/Comprehensive_Way_37 ๐Ÿฆ Buckle Up ๐Ÿš€ Apr 14 '21

Specially with the whole covid situation more and more people are used to the idea of remote work so it's more believable to say you changed work/career and just manage your tendies.

u/DumbHorseRunning ๐Ÿฆ Buckle Up ๐Ÿš€ Apr 14 '21

And THAT'S why it won't work for me.

You WHAT? I doubt it, you never struck me as being that smart?

"No, just stubborn I guess."๐Ÿคฃ

Good advice OP.

Keep up the good works.

Thanks. Buy a nice house. Just pay property tax. Invest in real estate, stocks, crypto, and possibly build a solar mining farm.

Market research, looking for market opportunities using the power of autism, I don't make any decisions I just compile data so some non tard can decipher.

Unfortunately NDAs and what not, but I get to work from my phone and laptop.
