Morgan Stanley for general investing?

I'm new to investing overall as this is my first job where I'm making extra money beyond putting in 401k. Accenture just released our ESPP this week and so I setup my Morgan Stanley access.

I read that Schwab and Fidelity are often the recommend services to use for buying stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, etc. It looks like Morgan Stanley also does this.

Any thoughts on just using MS instead is creating more accounts to keep track of in Fidelity, etc?

Any recommended resources for a mid-level lit associate looking to develop some skills in health care transactional work? I'm primarily a med-mal attorney and several clients have small opportunities on the MA side that I'd like to be able to assist with. The firm does not currently have a specific transactional healthcare practice group so I'd need to go out of the firm for mentorship in this area. For now, I'm just looking for good basic foundational resources.

Appreciate it!

How is the Hike at ADP for fresher Member Technical?

I have joined Nagarro almost a year now as a senior architect. However, I see lot of issues here. The company is great so far as employee friendliness is concerned. It may be rated as the top most company in that regard and that is why attrition is well within control. However, there are issues:

1. Project Allocation - allocated to projects without fitment with the role or skills. No internal job portal

2. Lots of seniors in bench for long time

3. No way to give company feedback

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
