Do you mean an accountant? An account with an understanding our industry definitely helps.

But financial advice depends more on your age and how far you are from retirement. Being creative is irrelevant.

If you’re female (or even if you’re not) there are some great online courses that will get you started without wasting money on an advisor. Like HerFirst100k.com or DowJanes.com. Consider checking those out first. They have free intro workshops and podcasts.

You’ll quickly discover that only a very small percentage of financial advisors outperform the market, yet they charge you a fee that is not performance based.

You just need a brokerage account and time in the market.

This is also a pretty good summary:

Who are the good international recruiters?

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD. Then when im scoped over work that my CD and I oversee, some people are asking me how does my role differ from the CD’s, as they tend to look at me as an unnecessary layer for approvals. In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery. I've been at my company since 2016, and am now a design consultant - speaking to customers directly and creating custom artwork and designs for them. I know I'm underpaid (50k/year in the SF Bay Area) but I thought the benefits and stability were worth it. I'm now severely burnt out (most of my team is) and not sure which way to go, or how to grow. Any tips/advice?

Thanks!
