Vanguard Retirement Fund or Personal Allocation of ETFs? (24M) Does anyone have an opinion on which is the better option? This is in addition to my 401K plan.

Maybe I’m just new to this, but it’s hard to grasp what the ACTUAL cost of all the fees are for the retirement fund.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

Hello I’m currently working in tax but really want to pivot to corporate finance in fp&a. Any advice on how to get my foot through the door?

More background- I made a career transition from healthcare and originally thought the way to gain experience for a finance role was to have some experience in accounting. I joined tax but now realize the exit options are limiting. I don’t want to enter audit either or be in public accounting. Went through a year of public and it was hard on my health.

What would you recommend a healthcare consultant to do to establish themselves as an expert and to have better exit opportunities? E.g., would you recommend presenting at conferences (quite difficult to do with < 3y experience), online website with industry insights, YouTube channel, linkedin network.... Many of these are really time consuming, thus not sure if they would be worth it.

Can someone help me understand how backdoor Roth works in my situation?

Asked another way, does backdoor Roth allow me to actually contribute $25.5K each year, or does it just allow $6K of my $19.5K contribution to build in a Roth?

Thanks!
