Bain & Company Hello Fishes.
What is the average CTC offered for a Research Associate with 1 year of experience in Healthcare consulting?
I'm looking forward for opportunities, hence would be great to know the current CTC trends to effectively negotiate with the employer.
Thanks in advance!

I'm new to investing :
2 questions
1 - where should I invest my Deloitte 401k in ? Is the vanguard institutional 500 index trust a good place to just put my 401k and forget about it.
2 - I recently opened a fidelity account and have savings I want to invest and want to invest a small percentage every paycheck without worrying about trading it . What's the safest place to invest in and not worry about it for the next 10 years ? VOO? QQQ?

You could look into real estate, Index funds, bonds, probably expand your portfolio. Feel free to DM

Start off by immediately funding (both?) your IRAs for 2021 before April 15 this year. That's 12k. Everyone with an income is eligible for IRA, there's no restrictions; just that you very possibly won't be able to take a tax deduction. Do a Roth conversion as soon as your account is funded. Keep doing this every year.
Use low cost, broad market index funds or their ETF counterpart. Open a brokerage account. You can't go wrong with Fidelity, Vanguard, or Schwab. Use the same/similar funds from above.
With a paid off home, you're way ahead of a sizeable portion of the population. Direct erstwhile mortgage payments to brokerage account. I doubt you'll be working for another 20 years if you have the financial wherewithall and will to pay off your mortgage.
All the best.
Do you have an IRA? HSA, if you have a high deductible health plan? I would use those before a taxable brokerage account. If that is covered, opening a brokerage account at fidelity would be a good idea

It sounds like you have prioritized paying down your house over other investments. You can do backdoor Roth and HSA but once your house is paid off you will have more cash and should be able to contribute to an after cash brokerage. Contribute monthly to an index fund like VOO or VTI is probably the best move.

VOO for most or all of it.
Perhaps a rental property for tax shelter and passive income, but there's the tradeoff of the work involved managing it. Plus the concentration of $ in one place.
Is a rental property really a good idea for someone who prioritized paying off a mortgage on their primary residence?
It was a 15 yr mortgage and really just the past year I prepaid to get rid of it because I was expecting a decrease in overall income but that is not happening. So now I am looking to take the saving and additional income and start investing. But yes, I understand your logic.
