General advice without knowing anything about your life.

Your nice $150k a year job could disappear tomorrow.

Put $100k in your savings account.

Put $50k in one of the investment recommendations given here. Index fund, etc.

Save it for a rainy day. Forget about it and move on with your every day life.

You’re young. You have your whole life ahead of you. That money could come in handy one day.

Congrats!

Why would you put 100k in a savings account that has a real negative yield? It makes no sense, and I'm just going to say, savings accounts are for suckers. The only point is for your bank to earn some extra cash on the money you decided to loan them.
