How's SVB doing? Is there a hiring freeze?
My post is for a lot of folks here who complain about managers not budging to negotiations and not offering package ,what you are expecting.I have one thing to say,there are lot of ibm employees who moved to kyndryl. Inspite of lot of contributions they are earning meagre salary.Now do you expect these people to hire you for more package most of time the package you are demanding is more than what these managers draw. So pls do not look at kyndryl as any other startup.Thanks.

I have accepted Infosys Offer Letter . If I am not joining Infy and joins another company, then is there anything like Infosys remembers it and will not consider in its Future Opportunities saying "You previously Didnt join our Organisation after accepting Offer Letter , So we are not considering your profile ahead " (Something like blacklist).
Has anybody accepted Infy Offer Letter and Have not joined ...and later got another Offer from Infy after say 6 months or 1 year and then Joined Infy ?
Any good non-tech stock buys?

If I don’t need the cash in the near future, I will max out my traditional (or Roth) 401k, Roth IRA, and HSA before putting money in a regular individual brokerage account. If I need the cash in the shorter long term timeframe, 2-5 years, then I’ll put that money in an individual brokerage account.
Good advice, Thank you!

In your position I would use the remaining money to build up your emergency fund. Once that’s in order max out the contributions to all your other retirement accounts 401k, Roth, ira, has, whatever you’re using. I also saw that you are looking to buy a home within the next couple of years in another comment. I’m a pretty fiscally conservative guy so I would suggest to put the money you are saving for a home in a HYSA (high yield savings account), instead of investing in a brokerage account. After you buy your house and done all the steps above I’d tell you to look into a brokerage account. Don’t worry to much about messing up your brokerage accounts. You don’t get have to get fancy, you can just invest in index funds, etfs and mutual funds and make a nice return. Good luck with everything, remember this is a game of discipline and mental fortitude, but it’s achievable.
I agree with HYSA. I used to get 4%, but unfortunately, the highest rates are only .6% right now. Check out CIT Bank.
I’d dump almost everything not going into retirement into your emergency fund until you have that 6-9 months in there. And don’t forget to spend some of your hard earned money in your 20s too! Travel, etc.
True! Still not much going on due to covid, tbh that’s probably why I have a surplus😂
When you say retirement what do you mean 401k , roth ,hsa?
10% to 401k and 10% to Roth. That’ll put me on track to max out my Roth contributions for the year. Maxing out 401k doesn’t really appeal to me at this salary😅
Emergency fund, entertainment fund, future house fund, etc.
More in your retirement at a young age would go a long way too.
Have a brokerage account for extra money. I started to hate the idea that you need to contribute everything to retirement account. Hell think about COVID you sacrificed too much and you may not even live to use all those money. Have some investment in taxable account that you can withdraw easily and treat yourself should be you find a new hobby or something want to buy
There’s always the conversion ladder. It’s what people do to withdraw from their Roth IRAs before retirement.
buy dividends stocks like ATT and O
I use PFFD for a portion of my emergency fund. Less risk with bit more return. I’m not looking for big growth there but also don’t want my money losing value just sitting at bank
Unless you need have major purchases coming up, I would put more into retirement accounts, a Roth IRA would be a good idea if not yet used. As the previous post asked, what accounts are you using now
What firm are you at that contributing 20% with your match maxes out the $19,500 401k limit as an associate?? at KPMG my associate salaries were $60,000-$63,000 😭 and match was 50% of up to 6% so even with contributing 20% and the match I couldn’t get to the limit. are you in tax?
Sorry, yeah I’m only maxing out the Roth not the traditional 401k. The limit is like half my salary😂 63,000 would be unreal in my area.
I’d just up whatever is going into your 6 months emergency fund until it’s funded, then look into other ways you want to save/invest.
If you’re an associate and able to put aside 20% already, you’re a step above the majority already. I might suggest putting the entire 20% in roth funds since you’re likely at the lowest tax rate you will ever be. If your 401k allows Roth contributions, you can contribute up to 19.5k per year that way. And probably also the Roth IRA for a few more years. Personally I think personal finance guys have oversold this idea of a cash emergency fund. There’s nothing wrong with foregoing setting aside money in a bank account if those same funds are instead placed in a Roth. You can tap into the contribution portion of Roth funds before retirement without penalty. So why not at least get the tax benefits in case you don’t need to use it?
