I’m earning around 100K pre-tax and have student loans and an auto loan. Would appreciate genuine (read: non-condescending) feedback on best money moves to make. Had extenuating circumstances.

Student Loan is consolidated by private lender, ~82K with 4.3% interest rate (IR) and Auto Loan is ~18K with 3.9% IR

Any thoughts on which one to aggressively tackle first? Should I even be considering investing until they are paid off? I also work at Big4 so I’ll be restricted with investments anyway.

I’ve been working at this company for a year now and they’ve recently gone through a merger with another company. Now there are two sets of C level leadership. Everything is confusing and I feel like employees are being left in the dark. I asked someone in HR for some information as to Wage tables etc and haven’t received a response in over a month. There is no way of telling if this person even works here anymore!

Your teammate with the same title and pay as you is at your desk all the time for help. I'm definitely open to helping - but sometimes "help" is basically the whole job - it feels like I'm doing both jobs lol and it almost feels unfair that we both get paid the same or very close (Colorado, so pay transparency). The teammate has been with the company for longer than me.
