Why? Just buy VTI + VXUS

The stock market has been a golden goose since Covid. Why would you buy bonds longer than a life sentence?

If you’re in a high income bracket in California, VTEC may be better.

No. They're yielding, what, like 5% right now? Unadjusted for inflation.

I keep my cash in a HYSA (and a CD ladder with the same institution) and I invest the rest in ETFs like VTI. Historically, I don't think there has ever been a 30 year period in which bonds have outperformed the U.S. stock market.

No one says bonds out perform the market. That’s not even a real question. OP is likely asking about risk adjusted returns. If not, I dunno then lol

Moving on from Hotels (Hospitality)?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed. Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.
