Fidelity is fine. Decent website and app. Good customer service if you need to talk to them. These days all the brokerages including Fidelity are generally zero cost for buying and selling stocks.

Fidelity and Vanguard are both great platforms.

Target Date funds like that are good choices, especially for newer investors or people who want to set it and forget it.

Another route: go 100% S&P 500.

Another route: make a simple lazy portfolio. Google “lazy portfolio” or boggleheads.

Hello everyone.

This is a thank you post.

This platform has helped me in a way to get more than a 100% hike.

I am working as a Data Scientist with 5.6 yrs of experience in DS/ML.

My current CTC was 12.6 LPA and after switch, I got 32.2 LPA (30 fixed).

So I would like to thank everyone who posts comments and share their experiences. This helps a lot to understand the current market scenario and whether they are underpaid or not.

I had a failed natural FET in Sep & did a mock transfer 2 weeks ago (HFET). Results came back Receptive. I got my period 2 days after stopping the PIO. RE mentioned I can start embryo transfer this week & did not need to wait for my next cycle. My periods are not always regular, so I like the idea of not waiting for them to start but also nervous if this could impact the embryo transfer as it would not follow the same timeline as that of the mock cycle. Anyone try this approach with success?

I’ve seen a couple posts lately with comments saying that people should not use a Roth 401k. Does the logic below capture the spirit of that concept?
1. Use trad. 401k to reduce taxable income now. Convert to trad. IRA once retired, then convert gradually to Roth IRA (ladder, SEPP, etc.) at lowest marginal tax rate
2. Use Roth IRA (and/or backdoor Roth) to take advantage of tax free growth and ability to withdraw principal early without penalty
