Depends the firm and organization. But let’s assume it’s directly supporting c-suite vs internal strategy for a marketing department - projects are focused on growth, identifying and driving efficiencies, or cost savings. Be able to case very well in things like market entry/assessment, process improvement, etc

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%.

I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
