300k came from MSD. Of the 300k, 75% has been distributed to my IRA and the remaining 25% sits in equity. I saved 275k organically LTD. I lost 38k NW YoY in the market.

Nothing misleading. Like OP asked, current savings and investments is 537k across 401k, IRA, HSA, company equity, taxable brokerage, and cash.

Lived on my own since college. 40k is from a few inheritances from my very generous family members which I plan to put towards my first home in honor of their hard work and savings. I also have 16k in student loans debt. So about 74k I have saved on my own minus my debt.

I have received offer letter from Optum Global Solutions India recently and I am seriously considering joining it(I also have offers from Deloitte USI and Verizon).
My breakup annexure mentions 4 components apart from RRP and PF. Basic, HRA, Flexi, Special Allowance. Either the Special Allowance or the Flexi is not included in the CTC mentioned in offer letter. So I want to understand how the Flexi and Special Allowance are paid monthly. Can someone please help?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
