I was working at a start up making 50k a year, but they ran out of cash and as soon as word started to get out, everyone got offers from other companies.
I just accepted an offer to work at a big tech firm for 120k, plus an annual bonus.
Any tips on how to manage a massive sudden uptick in income?
Invest it, dont spend a cent extra. Thats the real secret behind wealth. Most people will get a raise and spend the extra money, which is a bad idea.

Is this actually something that happens? Most of my friends who worked at startups that went OOB had to go job hunting...

If they match 401k put in as much as possible.That's a start w/free extra money.

They do, should I put in more than they match?
I took some finance classes in college and have the crux of marketers and equities down, should I manage my own portfolio? 120k doesn’t really seem like it’s worth hiring a manager or fiduciary or something.

I wish I could make that much money, but all I can do is fucking draw.

Max out your 401k contribution, up to what your employer matches. E.g. if you work at Facebook, they match up to 7%, so you should put in 7%. There’s not much benefit to putting in more than what your employer will match (and you might hit the federal limit for 401k contributions), so don’t go higher than what you have to in order to maximize what your company pays you. I suggest you go with a pre-tax (not a Roth) 401k. Put it all in a Target 2060 retirement fund, if your company’s 401k offers target retirement funds.
Then you should open a Roth IRA on Vanguard and deposit the maximum amount every year. The limit for this year is $5,500 and next year’s is $6,000. Also put it all in a Target 2060 retirement fund.
Take any leftover money and put it in a brokerage account. This is your YOLO account. Buy whatever stocks you think will do well.

Life should be enjoyed. All these boomers 401k will be wiped out in the 2019 Great Recession.

Buy LINK every paycheck. If you average in, its fool proof and essentially free money.

You're the one who is short sighted. At a 30% tax bracket, with $120k/year user will be making $84k/year after taxes. Assuming he lives cheaply and keeps his expenses down to $2k/month, that's $60k/year he can invest. Contributing that amount, an even split monthly, at a 6% return rate, after 10 years he'll have $812,000 saved. Two more years and he'll have over a million. What's more than that, he'll be generating $56k a year in interest alone could retire with over a million saved and live solely on the interest at a wage higher than the average American salary after only 12 years.
Sorry you're so poor that you don't even understand basic math or think ahead further than what malt liquor you're going to drink during the next football game while you think. Don't worry, though, you'll have a lot of time to sit alone in misery and dwell on much you hate niggers and how all your problems are the fault of other people doing you wrong. Fucking pleb. KYS.

this is good advice. but i'd say maximize risk now when you're just starting out because the target 2060/55 have too much bond activity
Andrew Perez
Max out 401k for free money, look into rental properties for residual income. You can actually hire people to do the day to day maintenance. Crypto is a meme but also the future; it's hard to pick a long term winner.

pay any denbts, don't change your lifestyle, invest until you have a very healthy portfolio for your age group
