Looking for advice on how to invest my $100k 401k balance. For reference, I’m 32 years old and have no investing experience. Is it better to invest in:
1. A target date fund
2. One or a mix of the funds within the screenshot:

Hard to say with no expense info. SC1s suggestion is solid. I personally would use SP 500 and the blackrock MSCI ACWI ex US index, maybe 75/25 split. I don’t know what target date funds you have but if they are inexpensive like vanguard for example, they or not a bad choice.

I would stand by my suggestion based on that. If you use the target date funds, just look at what it holds and use a far out date to hold the least bonds.

80% in the BlackRock S&P 500 and the rest ima pimco bond fund.

Investment is very personal. As for me, I am building a $3M portfolio with SP500 in about 15 years.

Looks for the funds with the lowest expense ratios and the broadest diversification.

Most funds don’t beat the indexes they track, so you just pay someone a big chunk of your salary to do worse than an index.

You probably want to be 90% stocks 10% bonds. Those stocks should be large, mid, small cap, and international.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

I got rejected for an interview from Big 4 NY Audit, even had referrals from Manager + level people. 3 years w/ audit senior at mid size firm, 2 years fed tax at big 4, and 1.5 years Internal Audit healthcare. Currently self employed for a year to work on investing. Do I literally need a partner level referral to get back into Audit? I thought there was an accountant shortage.
