Please help: This is my story: I was obsessed and maybe still, with getting an MBA. The problem is I do not have long term career goals, currently just putting things in place to start my e-commerce business and truth be told the only reason why I wanted an MBA was for the prestige and tag, went to a state school for undergrad, networked my way into consulting and participated in Harvard’s SVMP program.

What did the first 10 years of your career look like? How many jumps did you make? Where did you work? Audit or tax? PA, government, industry? Pay increases? City-size/CoL? Would love to get enough responses to see any trends related to how long you stayed at your first firm.

To those who went to a fancy private school: do you think it was good for your psychology? We are lucky to choose to send our son to a very good public school or a well known private school. (Cont)

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.
