I went to Art Basel with my money

Cool! I had to google that, not sure it works for my role but thanks!

We get $50/mo to expense for self-care & wellness. I keep forgetting smh

I’m not sure this is included in personal development, I’ll have to get more clarity. It seemed like more for training. They wanted to try and get the whole team together since we work remote but the team budget would not be enough to cover flights and lodging for everyone so that was nixed since we can’t roll it over or wait until next year to use.

Do conferences count? Mediapost and Digiday have some awesome 3 day conferences.

They do! Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll look them up. I didn’t have this opportunity previously so it’s new to me :)

How much is the budget??

It’s a team budget but I think it’s around $500 per person on the team.

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
