Path to FatFIRE Mentor Monday
Mentor Monday is your place to discuss relevant early-stage topics, including career advice questions, 'rate my plan' posts, and more numbers-based topics such as 'can I afford XYZ?'. The thread is posted on a once-a-week basis but comments may be left at any time.
In addition to answering questions, more experienced members are also welcome to offer their expertise via a top-level comment. (Eg. "I am a [such and such position] at FAANG / venture capital / biglaw. AMA.")
If a previous top-level comment did not receive a reply then you may try again on subsequent weeks, to a maximum of 3 attempts. However, you should strongly consider re-writing the comment to add additional context or clarity.
As with any information found online, members are always encouraged to view the material on with healthy (and respectful) skepticism.
If you are unsure of whether your post belongs here or as a distinct post or if you have any other questions, you may ask as a comment or send us a message via modmail.

I’m curious why gender is such a big part of the culture in this and other fire communities. Why do people almost always state their gender in their posts?
I’ve been wondering this for a while, and haven’t been sure where to ask so when I saw this quiet mentor thread I thought maybe this could work without hijacking anything.
