Betterment and wealthfront are pretty similar. There are comparisons online and you’ll have to consider your goals for growth and rebalancing.

If you just want stable growth for years, an index is perfectly fine. https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/investing/betterment-vs-vanguard

They are very similar. I’ve used both and found them both pretty good. If you have over $100k to invest, the stock-level TLH at Wealthfront may be a differentiator.

Hi, I'm currently with TCS. I have given technical interview with Infosys on 9th October and the very next day I got a mail to send documents. Since then I didn't receive any reply from them. How long does the process really take for one to get a call for HR discussion. It's been almost 10 days now. Similar situation happened with Accenture recently, they put me on hold for long and suddenly turned down the offer after HR discussion for which I'm really concerned now.

Guessing I should still leave the down payment in a HYSA (getting 3% right now)? Sucks to miss out on market returns, but I understand that conventional wisdom is not to invest money you'll need in the short term (within 3ish years). I'm definitely tempted to put a portion of that in VTI though...
