Need some advice. 24 years old and I’m currently contributing 6% towards 401k, 5% towards Accenture ESPP stock(at Accenture we receive a 15% discount when purchasing stock), and maxing my Roth. (Cont)

No you should diversify. That being said acn stock is doing pretty well and should continue to do so. I wish I’d invested more early on :(

You should definitely max 401k before investing in individual stocks. I’d also max out ESPP stock unless there is an individual stock that you think will give you more than 15% rate of return. That being said, can’t you invest in individual stocks in your Roth?

401k (traditional or Roth) has a massive advantage over a taxable account. You should absolutely max the tax advantaged space first before individual stocks

There are a couple individual stocks I want to start investing in. Should I hold off until I’m able to max my 401K and contribute more to the Accenture ESPP(we can contribute up to 10%)? Is that more important before I start putting money into stocks?

You can sell the espp the day you get it
