DCA 100%. If it were March 23rd, maybe lump sump, but hindsight is 20-20. No one knows what’s going to happen, could be a long 6 months and the market tanks faster than it rises

Dude congratulations on getting to90 K in your savings when you’re only 23 years of age. I agree with the group here; the dollar cost averaging model is always the best to follow in any market situation

DCA. Vanguard has an option that makes it easy and will be automatic based on frequency you choose

And if you recommend DCA, what's a good time horizon?

Does anyone feel like they don’t want to go back to normal? On the one hand, absolutely I want to. I miss seeing friends, dressing up, going out, and traveling for work. On the other hand I have saved so much money over the past year, spent a lot more time with family than I would have ever been able to, and actually rested and been able to focus on my wellness (started therapy and treatment for a chronic condition.)

My observation is that it is hard for consulting partners to land the quality public or private board roles everyone naturally targets.

Everyone wants “operators,” but I feel every board could also benefit from one current or former consulting partner. But sadly, that’s not the way the external world looks at things...
