signing bonus, what to do with it.

What should I do with signing bonus. Not at a bb so I get it early and it’s more than the typical 10k. Also in a low col city. Have a lot of cash saved up already and want to make it grow. Have a Roth IRA which I’ve maxed out for a few years and it’s been invested in some tech stocks, but will probably sell that before starting ft. Wondering what others are doing with their cash now. Don’t know what’s scarier, getting into the markets at all time highs during a pandemic or sitting in cash for the foreseeable future.

I would throw it in to a etf or maybe a couple of individual stocks that you like. Not a wise decision to think that you're better off sitting on the sideline accumulating fomo when your investment horizon is decades long and you will go throw multiple sell offs and rebounds.
