As post-grads who are one year into adulting, we invited women in finance on the podcast to talk about all things $$$. We got our burning questions answered by two financial experts and covered topics including best ways to budget and save, how to negotiate a salary, student loans, enrolling in job benefits, planning for retirement, how taxes work, and even the stigma around talking about money. Naina Sadaruddin, a Financial Advisor at Northwestern Mutual, and Molly Rimes, a Financial Planning Associate at InsMed, also shared how to get your foot in the door in the finance industry, how COVID-19 affected the market, and why we need more women in finance! Listen to this episode to help set yourself up for financial success.
