SPAXX is a money market fund

It's goes into the core by default whenever you bring money in or sell an investment.

It's your default position. So your cash when you deposit money or sell something. I use SPAXX since it is a higher rate and just as safe, if not safer. It's just a money market fund.

SPAXX is a money market fund from Fidelity that provides liquidity and security and is often used to temporarily store cash in a brokerage account. Its main benefits are relatively high interest returns and flexible access to funds. In contrast, FCASH is Fidelity's cash management function that provides simpler cash storage, but may have lower interest rates. SPAXX is generally suitable for investors who want to maintain liquidity while earning some interest.

I went with SPAXX. Rarely do I leave money in that for long.

Hi fishes, in a dilemma....switched to a Big4 from MNC(almost 7 years of exp) in April 2020. The pay was normalised at 15.5LPA. Will get the package revised next month to 16.25 LPA. Now Deloitte has approached, so can I ask for 30%pay hike considering the switch will happen after completing almost 11-12 months in my current organization or can I ask for more than 30%, depending if I get a senior consultant or manager role? Also will the switch within a year have any negative impact?

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.
