I work through a contractor, and was hired 2yrs ago to be a Systems Test Engineer II. They decided last minute to make me a Software Content Manager, but kept my title as is since it was supposed to be a 6mo rotation. I’m still an SCM, and am taking on leadership roles in the group. How do I ask for a title change and pay increase to reflect what I actually do? Do I ask my contract house, or my NASA mgmt? Should I ask to make the pay retroactive since I was hired to do one thing, but do another?

Red flag? I use TD's robo investor for my IRA and personal investment portfolio. I noticed it chooses the same ETFs, although potentially a different ratio. This seems that it's not properly diversified for long and mid term. Should I be concerned, or just let the investment fly?

Should I just suck it up in order to be a homeowner?

Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls.
