How to invest Analyst bonus (VOO+SQQQ)?

Hi everyone, 

just got a bonus and looking to invest it. I was wondering what is everyone doing. I think that investing at these multiples is repeating 2021 mistakes but also do not want to settle for 5% in a money market. 

Currently, thinking of putting 80% in VOO and 20% in SQQQ that would result in 20% net and hopefully I can collect some spread with tech multiples contracting more than S&P. 

What are you guys doing? 

I also do not want to invest in single equities.
