Thoughts please - planning to invest some amount every month for the rest of my working tenure ( 37 right now). This is what I am thinking any better suggestions ? Or if you see any cons to this approach ?

VOO (34%) + VGT (33%)+ VIG( 33%)

Seems fine but my 2 cents would be there’s quite a bit of overlap among the 3 and your foreign exposure could be greater.

I’d vote for VOO (or VTI) 60-70%
and VXUS 30-40% for more international exposure

Just my preferences but it’s a large cap fund blending growth and value stocks that uses dividend history as a primary stock screen.
Also lots of overlap with VOO. And dividend yield is only a bit higher than a simple and more diversified VOO.

@A1

How would you feel about 60% VTI, 15% VGT, 15% VIG, 10% VXUS?

Reading your comment I assume you’d get rid of either VIG/VGT and bump up VXUS
