ETFs vs. actively managed funds. Just curious as to where each plays a role in your client’s portfolios. For those that use some active funds, which ones do you use?

I tend to use active managers on the bond side vs equities for clients who I don't buy individual bonds for. I feel there is easier for a well run bond fund to generate alpha. Been steering more toward this as time is limited to seek out individual bond funds and in this environment I'm more worried about how duration is handled vs just owning a passive basket .

If so, could you please suggest how to prepare for such roles in good companies?
I feel a little lost with a lot of self doubt, and possibly need some counselling on this too. Suggestions are welcome.

Hello Fishes, I have a Job offer from Cisco and Verizon(VDSI).

YOE - 6.5 Years
CCTC - 7.2 LPA

Conflicted between both as I believe Cisco has a better brand value and great company to work for. But the offer from Verizon is competitive.

Is it a good idea to renegotiate with Cisco based on current offer from Verizon. Please share your thoughts.
