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?

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.

1) Does companies actually verifies the pay that the competition is offering? (Dont want to ruin my offer with A if B doesn't match the salary)
2) Will it impact my job prospects at A if it gets to know I tried to match their offer from a competition?
