Have 5% of my portfolio in cash. Ideally I’d like to get into ARKK/QQQ type equities with this. Should I look to just dump it in at market open? Is there timing to consider?

Don’t time it. Look at ARKK or ARKX when it opens. I would also check out GlobalX trend ETF which combines its various mega trends if you thinking 10yrs plus.

Do you know of a resource I can look to more info on this/more options like these?

Do you have an emergency fund. If not you may want to keep some in a safe asset. If that’s covered just dump it in. Don’t try to time the market

ARKF and ARKQ are good bets, too. You are so young you’ll be able to recover from any pullback if it happens.

I’d get QQQJ and ARKK

Definitely covered. I’m mid twenties and would prefer to just park this away forever.

Just get in now. You can add to your position with another 5k or so with your emergency fund if there is a significant pullback.

Not an advisor but if you believe in the long term, timing in the short term is not important.

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?
