25 year old here that is looking into 401k at a new firm. At my previous employer, I was putting my 401k in vanguard’s target retirement fund, but re-evaluating my choices. Some options are fidelity total market index, schwab S&P 500, or staying with vangurd’s target retirement fund. I don’t mind a riskier portfolio as I’m young. Any advice is appreciated!

I usually say that if someone is asking about whether the target date fund is a good choice, then they should be in the target date fund.

Yep. It’s the cheapest retirement investing advice product type and you get daily rebalances. If you don’t know why/how you want to deviate and how to professionally manage a portfolio and you don’t want an advisor, stick to the TDF.

Hi everyone,
I relocated with my family to Ireland recently, one month ago, and while I got a lot of screening calls with recruiters, I did not hear back from any of them after our interview. I am still on the process of getting my work permit and I am very clear about this during the interviews, but I suspect that this is the reason why I am not getting any call back. Any tips on the first screening call with recruiters? Should I touch base with them after our interviews?
