Just signed the offer for my exit. Getting a 30k+ signing bonus, and would like to hear thoughts as to some good ideas to invest this to maximize my potential.

Some ideas I had is putting some in a ROTH IRA and the rest in a high yield investment account or a VOO, as extra capital I can use to invest in real estate or start a business in the near future. Would love to hear what the bowl recommends.

Does the signing bonus vest immediately or is there risk of clawback? Don’t take too much risk with the money until it is fully yours. I bonds are a good start assuming you’re liquid enough to not mind the 1 year tie up on $10k
