Does anyone get frustrated when trying to choose 401(k) funds? Of course, because of my career, I'm comfortable with financial stuff, but we have 35 options and I can't tell the difference between half of them. I want to invest well, but it's a lot. How did you narrow it down?

Pick the lowest cost broad index fund until you're just about ready to retire.

Just picked the age fund that will be adjusted appropriately til I retire.

Well, it’s not a competition but I lived through the 2000.com bubble and bust so spare me the 2008 reference. I stand behind my comment. These funds just assume they’re you’re only asset and you end up way too conservatively allocated after factoring in your entire wealth

I'm trying to learn more on the investing side, so I found that talking with our rep helped, I can't say that for the previous company I was with, their rep was pretty clueless.

I had quite the day the other day. Coustmer comes in and then ends up leaving with a grossed out look on his face just for him to put in a complaint about my appearance...he down right called me some nasty things for no reason. Still feeling gross about it. He was upset for no reason as far as I'm concerned.

Hi Fishes,
My total experience is 5 in QA, I attended Deloitte interview. First round was technical and it went quite well, they asked lot of theory questions. I answered few and quite I was not sure of answers. She gave feedback like my communication and confidence level is good and project wise I'm having good knowledge and coming to concept wise it's not upto the mark for experience. So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
