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.

Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
