Hi all.
Has anyone in IBM been on bench for more than 4 months here?
I have been on bench for almost 4 months now & have been getting automated mails asking me to get assigned to a project by searching one by myself, else necessary action might be taken.
And are there any chances of being straightaway fired based on these automated mails?
I would genuinely need an advise from someone who is aware of this kind of situation.
Thanks in advance

If you don’t have much else in retirements, you should be putting it in a broad market index fund like VTSAX. If you only have $50k you should be prioritizing returns over anything else
I have existing retirement. Lost some prime income time during my career change. Looking for advice on strategically filling the gap.

What kind of account is this in? What are your objectives? What are you investing in now?

OK.
Then I guess an option to consider would be:
First reserve whatever amount you need for a house down payment if you are not a homeowner yet and intend to buy a house soon.
Then put the rest in a taxable brokerage account in a carefully chosen strategic allocation of index funds, like the classic "three fund portfolio," and leave it alone for decades.
I assume you're debt free and already have a good emergency fund stashed away? If so, I'd probably invest 60% ESG stock ETFs / 40% ESG bond ETFs to keep your portfolio diversified.
Thanks! Yep debt and emergency are covered.
