New job. $4K left each month after expenses. 0 current savings. Not in US so no 401K, etc. How should I save? I’m thinking $1K cash and then $3K in Vanguard LS (after building 3 month emergency fund)?

Pick two or three ETFs with different strategies i.e., dividends, low beta, growth stocks, bonds. If you arent a market guru dont waste time trying to chase the next amazon stick to managing low expense etfs.

Most definitely a solid plan to start. Make sure you have no debt before you start investing

Right idea. For all the cash, Captial One 360 MM OR Marcus by GS MM are at 1.75%+.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

Received an offer but it's slightly a paycut (not much) ..company knows but they don't have much more wiggle room (job in industry). I'm excited about the offer but countered as there was no sign on bonus...the title is a lateral move but they are saying it'll be 2-3 years till promotion.. I'm up for promo in January at pwc and have a great chance of being promoted. Would u stay till January and then leave..risking that the offer would probably not exist?
