Disagree. Max traditional 401k (over Roth 401k) and backdoor Roth IRA. You can use Roth conversion ladder in retirement to convert traditional $ to Roth $

Hi! I’m currently CoS to the CEO for a PE backed healthcare company. I currently make $140K + $25K bonus. I was CoS for 1.5 year at a nonprofit before joining this company, and have been at my current company for 1.5 years for a total of 3 years of CoS experience. I’m up for a raise this month, and curious what some of you are making for ballpark? I’m also on a COO path at my current company and was wondering if anyone else is also on that trajectory and if you have any tips? Thanks!

At what point would/do you plan to pay off your student loans in full? Say you have $30k in student loans. Would you wait until you have $30k in savings? Or $40k to have a $10k emergency savings buffer? And so on. This is assuming you make the monthly payments until you pay in full of course. I understand this will vary based on your financial strategy but would love to hear some insight on what you chose/will choose and why!
