Totally agree. A warm intro or even a quick conversation can often do more than just applying online.

I haven't found a huge difference. They won't be focused on things like growth and your future plans, of course. It will be more about your skills and experience.

Hey, new to investing looking at initial mistakes I made. I have $1k in VOO, $7k in VT and $4k in VTI in my brokerage acct; in my Roth IRA I have $6k in VT and $7.7k in VTI. I know isn’t an ideal portfolio because many of these funds overlap. However I’m in for the long term and am willing to reposition to a strategy that will do the best over my life. Id appreciate to hear feedback on these 2 accounts and better approaches from others. Thanks!
