Best indexing strategy?

I’m 20 years old and am an incoming IB intern. I’m looking to index the rest of my life to avoid any insider trading scandals and because it’s simply easier. I feel like since I’m so young I would like to take a little extra risk. What do you guys recommend my % breakdown be for indexing?

100% SPY 50/50 SPY QQQ 50/50 QQQ IWM etc….

Looking for breakdowns like that. If there are other index funds you recommend feel free to share. I’m looking to hear a bunch of different opinions as to how I should approach indexing for the future. Appreciate any and all insight.
