1. Don't invest money you are not prepared to lose.
2. Don't use margins or use loans to invest unless you really know what you are getting into. See #1.
3. Picking individual stocks is hard, you are trying to time the market. If you are successful, and do better than an index you probably just got lucky.
4. Index is a no brainer. Very small management fee and historically some of the best returns.
5. Dollar cost averaging is a thing.
6. Time in the market is also a thing.
7. If you can get rich quick, you can get poor even quicker.

Also check out the FIRE bowl, good stuff there too.

Reiterate what Citi 1 said, start with mainly index funds, and then identify companies you like and put some amounts into them. Basically I started with companies i knew and like from a non financial matter - UPS and DG (before EY made me sell DG). I then watched them and learned about EPS, earning reports, and even skinning 10-ks and then went from there.

I recently switched to a developer role in a product based company from a support engineer for past 4 years in a service based company. I got a good hike as well.

Since I did it I think anyone can do it. Let me know if my experience can be of your any help.
Happy to help!

Its weird that EY is calling themselves providing exceptional experiences, but keep sending Return to Office email on Friday and ruin our mood. What leadership is gonna achieve by sacrificing employee flexibilities and spoiling their happiness, it can ultimately lead to resignation and loss of great talents.

Hello!
I'm italian, 26 yo and currently working in France as financial analyst.
Work environment is great, friendly and multicultural but I don't like the job at all.
Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?
