Hi all, wanted to get some insight into making personal investments. Any advise on where to invest / how to make the most of your savings? I am not in IB but in a front office finance role. Comp is decent and I am in my mid 20s. I lead a fairly frugal lifestyle and have the aim of maxing savings to make some great investments. Any insight / colour would be much appreciated!

If you are just starting out investing I would recommend getting a account like trading212 or etoro and invest with a practise account. It let's you use imaginary money and buy real share etc. This way you can learn more about the market and see how you perform before using your real money. If you want to invest now, I would suggest putting it into a mutal fund or ETF and let a expert manage it for you until you gain knowledge on how to do it yourself.

Last month someone from Natwest posted an opening on a linkedin professional network, I sent him my CV. After couple of days 2 rounds of interview happened and I was told that I am selected, salary was discussd and he told me that offer letter will be released soon. No commumication was done over email. Was he a fraud?

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

Hi All, I have an urgent query regarding TCS BGC process. My issue is that I have worked in X, Y and Z companies.
In X company I worked for 26months but my pf account is there for last 13months, before that my salary was very low so sometimes I got salary in hand or in pay cheque. I do have salary account statement for most of the months except 3-4 months in between my tenure. Will I face any issue for this?
Note: I do have good relationship with X company.
Please give your valuable suggestions.
