I’m currently saving to have and emergency fund for 6 months worth of expenses. I am also contributing about 20% of my salary to retirement. Any tips on what I should do with the extra I have left over every month?

I’m a first year associate in an area of practice I really like. People at my firm are nice, but I’m not challenged. I’m thinking of finding new opportunities since my salary is below market, firm policies are unclear and I’m not challenged. Any advice on finding new positions while I’m so junior?
