New to crypto , want to sanity check 2 things:
1) Going to put 10k into ETH (despite dip). My attitude is treat this as money I plan to part with; don't think about it until 2-5 years and don't get scared with more dips... right?
2) Coinbase vs Robinhood: I still don't get the "ownership" element. I can avoid fees by using RH, but I don't fully "own" crypto. Apart from security, is there a financial consequence? Will fewer people buy my crypto on RH in the future bc it's not "owned"?

Torn between continuing consulting and industry, curious to hear the opinion of this group:

3.5 years in consulting since undergrad and wanted to do SCM consulting with following goals:
1. Learn from experienced team members with industry and consulting experience
2. See best practices in action and implement them
3. Maintain variety in my career by working with various clients, industries, etc.

Thus far it hasn’t really panned out that way for a number of reasons. Some more details below 😊
