Vanguard is excellent! Low expense ratios, great index funds, and a decent user interface. If you already have 401k there I think it’s easiest to just stick with that. But Fidelity is also a great option and has a better user interface

What do you mean by easy?

If you are planning on holding ETFs probably. Their platform isn’t the best for day trading if that’s your thing

Goal would to honestly hold indexes, have some interest in day trading as a hobby, work at deloitte so cant use Robin Hood. Any other alternatives?

I use TD Ameritrade and it does all you’d ever need it to, it also has a free more advanced app called Think or Swim if you want to get really advanced charting and etc

Depending on what you want to achieve with your investments and your understanding of financial markets there will be better players than vanguard.

For example I have Citi, I get access to a massive number of funds including the ones I want to invest in, and their apps validate my investment decisions i.e. If I have the right allocations for my risk portfolio.

If you want a more guided investment, you may want to go to a wealth manager.

Vanguard is good, but mostly just pushes index investment through ETFs, so if you have something different in mind might not be good for you.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
