Having a hard time grasping that this job will be “it” for the rest of my life. To anyone who is further into their career, can you tell me the benefits you’re seeing at this stage in your life?

This job doesn’t define me. It pays me good $ (at this stage - I’m a senior manager although $ got good at the manager level) so I can do other things with my life. It also gives me flexibility to be with my family. I can dial back or ramp up career wise as needed.

I also work with fantastic people. Without good people, none of the above would keep me in the job.

Honestly I was on the fence about it. But now, probably not. I’ll be a bit long in the tooth once the dust settles in a few years. :)

My job is a paycheck and nothing more. My real life and passions are what actually defines me

Also - your job and role change over time. So although I have been at the firm for a long time, I feel like I have had 10 different jobs along they way.

Being an audit associate literally opens up the possibility to any career path you might want to explore. What do you want to do? How does this job get you there?

Is this reasonable or am I missing something?

I started maxing my 401k from year 1 and I hope to have $5 million or more by the time I retire around 60. Wouldn’t it make sense to put all of my yearly $19,500 401k contribution to ROTH 401k instead of traditional 401k?

My reasoning is that I would pay 35% tax now and my remaining 65% would grow tax-free in ROTH 401k…. versus traditional 401k where I deposit 100% but every distribution will be taxed 35% assuming I make a lot in retirement.

Feeling really lonely this holiday season and I think it's time for a change. I love my job but I'm realizing I devote too much time to it. I would really like to expand my social circle and potentially meet someone, but I don't really know where to start. Ideally my partner would also work in healthcare, but it isn't a dealbreaker for me. Ladies what should I do?? I'm a 32 year old woman with no kids.
