Is a 529 account worth it for MBA?

I'm aiming to pivot from from a public policy oriented career to a career in finance, focused on sustainability.

Would it be advisable to pursue an MBA or Masters in Finance? or perhaps finesse my way onto an ESG team and learn by doing?

Any ideas/suggestions are welcome.

Sorry if this has been asked a few times but - relocating to Charlotte and looking for apartments, preferably in southend. Any solid recommendations or places to avoid?

Hi everyone! In this field, when choosing a masters degree program is it more beneficial to get a degree in Human Resources to further my knowledge in HR (my undergraduate degree is in Economics) , an MBA, or Data Science Degree due to the fact that HR is becoming more data driven as well as get a PHR / SHRM-CP certification?

Seeing how 401k’s, ira’s etc..are mostly based in stocks. What happens if we have another Great Depression and the stock market crash’s.

So what are other ways in addition to those mentioned is there to help secure you into old age?

Is this a good time to move from pre-tax 401K to Roth IRA? We have been one income family last 4 months but I still expect year income to be in $250K-$270K range. Considering conversion for $40K amount.

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.

How are you all going about continuing to buy index funds while everything is literally green and I see people doubling their investment in such a short amount of time. Feel as I am missing so much money that could’ve been made. But VOO goes up 1% :///

After a final interview, how many days after can I expect an answer from the recruiter?

At the end of the interview, the person told me I passed the interview and they were going to talk to the Director who’s a level under them. It’s a yes for them and they’re happy to work with me.

I also sent my references. I don’t know when I can expect an reply. Recruiters from that company aren’t really organised

Any ways to offset a low gpa (3.45)? I scored a 760 on my gmat but I’m really only aiming for M7 schools. I’m also an Indian male who studied CS at a top ranked Engineering School.
