Have an interview at Morgan Stanley tomorrow. I’ve been at my current company for a year and a half now. What should I say when they ask me why I’m looking to move? I’m honestly looking for a higher salary.

Just phrase it as a growth opportunity. Everyone knows $$ is always a factor. Plus, MS has so many open reqs right now and managers are trying to fill open roles before their budget goes away for the year. Ball is on your court. Goodluck!

@antonio ML is never better

I agree with VP1, say it is for personal growth and how you have a passion to develop X skillset about X product and how you feel their corporate culture is better aligns with you.

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!!
