How do you invest your bonus? For context have ~40k in student loans (~4.8% rate), not interested in a house/apt purchase anytime soon, just want to save up for ~major life events~, have a little bit of money for fun and invest most of it. Any tips on percentages etc?

That’s what I’ve always done assuming you get 30k grand minimum

20% do yourself a really nice unforgettable- trip - remember YOLO!
20% repay some of your loan
20% non-ape investments (ETFs, long term option, luxury watch, you name it)
20% save in cash ISA
20% keep for the year in checking account

Good advice here

In the offer letter the "Provident Fund" And "gratuity" Is mentioned. In the salary calculation in hand, we will not consider these amounts right? As these components are received when someone retires..right? .. Please confirm.
