Hi everyone, I’m seeking general advice on how to best set myself up for success. I’ll be entering a high earning job (200k salary) at 25, no debt or other assets. I would appreciate any general advice you guys have, as well as advice on retirement accounts:

Assuming I can max out my 401k/Roth IRA, would you guys recommend doing backdoor Roth, or just max out the accounts and then keep the rest of my savings in a regular brokerage? And why?

So pumped. My portfolio went up from $1000 to $1015 yesterday. So much gains. Maybe I’ll put another $1000 in. I’m not telling you any of my secrets.

Have you calculated how much total tax you pay each year? Last year I made $185K and paid $68.5K in total taxes, which includes federal income and payroll taxes (social security and Medicare) and state income tax. 37% of net income went to taxes. How much in taxes are people paying?

Got a healthcare hedge fund analyst offer with 150K base and up to 250K bonus. With comp increase potential but no clear path to be promoted to portfolio manager given the fund size. I have 6 YOE in consulting and a PhD in life sciences. Lifestyle is not much better than consulting. The hiring manager tried to convince me with “long-term upside” but of course cannot commit to anything given the fund is new. Thinking I should turn it down but wonder how others think

I totally messed up. I had enough for down payment (HYSA), and pumped everything aside from that lump into stocks before the crash. Now houses went WAY up and I have not enough for down payment anymore. Can’t sell stocks at a loss. So I have just been saving my checks as fast as possible but I’m disheartened that’s houses seem to just keep going up. My raise can’t keep up at all.

I don't know why I heard some colleagues laugh at pilots like if they were the weakest link in the force. I think they are the strongest. Like, do you think a weak person would have the nerve to fly a giant machine that carries more people inside, knowing they might be the first target?

Have money invested in S&P 500, and now starting to regret not having diversified to international stocks as well. Would want to diversify now to buy a total stock market index, however since S&P 500 dropped more than that index, not sure it’s worth to crystallize losses to do that. The alternative is to stop buying S&P 500 and start buying other markets as separate ETFs, to eventually bring in line approx. with total stock market index. Any advice on the best course of action?
