Hi all! I was wondering what is the optimal route for FIRE:

1. Got my first grad job on 40k in London, so quite low for London. I had previous internships and a grad job but lost the grad job due to chronic illness. The chronic thing is now being managed.
2. Living at home with no rent or bills
3. After taxes and loan payments, I make 2.1k per month. I save up to 1k a month, spend the rest on Ubers, eating out, clothes etc.
4. Loan is student loan (100k since I spent 5 years in uni, 4 years undergrad, one year masters) and 4000 pounds borrowed from workplace
5. Pensions is 9% in total as I am prioritising my LISA/ISA. I have no idea the accumulated total yet (how do I find out)
6. LISA and ISA combined is 35k

I am not moving out anytime soon as my parents make enough money to keep me at home without me financially contributing.

Hi all! I am currently a power markets analyst at a consultancy e.g. Big 4. I am based in London.

I want to move to the US or anywhere with lower taxes but only have a British passport.

I have been in this role for 8 months now and have done this:

• Corporate decarbonisation (Scope 1–3): supporting organisations in measuring, reducing, and managing emissions across direct operations, energy use, and value chains
• EV strategy: advising on fleet electrification, charging infrastructure, and integration with energy and cost optimisation strategies
• Grid electrification: analysing system impacts of electrification across transport, heat, and industry, including network constraints and flexibility needs
• Power markets (solar and wind focus): specialising in renewable generation economics, forecast uncertainty, and integration into wholesale and balancing markets
• Pan-European power markets: experience across multiple European markets, regulatory frameworks, and cross-border dynamics.
• Hydropower Nordics project: supported data structuring and quality checks for modelling using SDDP (Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming).

1. Previously, I worked in strategy and financial analysis at another Big 4 for 10 months.
2. I have also done internships in sustainable investing at Royal London Asset Management and impact funds at Cygnum Capital
3. I also hold a Msc Economics from SOAS and Bsc from a Russell Group.

What steps must I take to go into finance re commodities?

What career would suit me best?
