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’m graduating from my MSA program and I have two offers:

2) CMAAS @ PwC (trying to move offer to valuations)

I want to use these TAS roles to move into more M&A advisory roles like IB/Corp Dev. PwC comp is a decent amount higher due to the $10k salary increase so it makes the decision a bit harder. Would CMAAS make it impossible to make the jump to IB-type roles due to how much technical accounting is involved?
