Investing first year savings, incoming analyst

Starting analyst stint very soon and wondering how/where to best invest savings. I would imagine compliance restrictions with individual stocks (correct me if I'm wrong) so I figured ETFs would probably be best. I'm embarrassed to say I don't really know of the actual process, however (e.g., what brokerage, etc.), and so any help would be much appreciated. Maybe important, I'm international and I'd like to leave the US within 5ish years, so I wasn't planning on investing in IRAs or 401(k), but let me know if that's a bad decision. Thanks.

 

You can invest in individual stocks that aren't on your firm's restricted list. I would definitely use the retirement accounts unless you're sure you are leaving the country. You can just make a brokerage account with your own firm, or one of their approved brokers. Fidelity and Merrill will both be on there (most likely).
