I’m sitting on all cash… what do I do?

So I recently started working and collected around ~100k that is honestly just sitting in my bank account. I’m not invested at all and am ignorant on where I should put my money. I’m 2 years out of school so I don’t want a super conservative portfolio but also wouldn’t put a bunch of money in crypto and call it a strategy.

Anyone have a portfolio mix or diversification strategy they can share?

I mean if this is something you’re going to sit and hold, just put it in a total market ETF with low fees. If you want to be more active you can drill down to specific sectors, themes, etc.

But really if your time horizon is 10+ years just ride the market imo. I’m sure others will have different views.
