I still do tax work but more research based and less compliance so I enjoy it

I’ve had a “fun money” Fidelity invt acct for years and have finally come to the realization that it’s a total waste as I never keep a close enough eye on the individual stocks I buy to exit timely and actually make $$. The downturn has brought it into clearer focus. I have about $8k in cash in it. Any recos for a good mutual fund / ETF to put it in? Could go with a standard S&P index, but curious any ideas. For the rest, ($30k) I’m going to strategically exit stocks and move the $ over. TIA

At what point in my career would my public accounting salary exceed an industry salary? Current an A3 making 54,900. In industry it looks like Senior is at 75,000. Assuming 12% annual raises in public and 3% annual in industry, it looks like maybe it wouldn’t take too long. I’ve heard industry raises are nowhere near what they are in public. Really looking for a discussion here. In industry, it almost seems like they tempt you with a big starting salary, but then soon you’ll be under public.

Any advice going in?
