Target date fund are fine by themselves are are really meant to be used as an all in one. That said there is nothing wrong with mixing them. Do you know the symbol of your specific fund. Fidelity has index target date funds and actively managed target funds. I prefer index due to lower fees. Others disagree. What are your other options? Hard to recommend without the choices. The most important thing is to invest as much as you can. I think the next most important choice is the asset allocation between equity and fixed income.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
