Another job gone.
30 years old, single, and $600K of mostly liquid net worth.
What is the next step in life?

title should have said "your services..." as "my services..." in quotes wouldn't make any sense...
You can blame the wh*res in human resources for that euphemism (I work in the field so I can say that--swear I wish I had time to write that book I keep threatening to: "Don't Get Mad, Get Even: Secret from the HR Department".
Here's an off-the-cuff excerpt from a fantasy chapter called "Breaking Up is Great to Do!"
1) First, realize there's no such thing as a "good job" anymore, no matter how good the one you lost was. Bosses change, companies change, and you must change. Continually.
2) Second, realize they've actually done you a favor. Now you have an excuse to go out and find another job that pays you a minimum 40% more. You'll rarely be able to snag that kind of deal staying with your current company.
3) Having saved $600K by 30, you've obviously got the intelligence and other competencies/skills that most employers would pay highly for, particularly in Finance.
4) Know you're also smart enough to go out, get a new job, negotiate a higher salary, and give yourself a raise besides !
5) Never, ever, ever, take the first $ offer when offered a job. Counter at least 20% higher, with your target set at 40%.
5) Please say you haven't signed your current co.'s severance agreement yet. No matter what, never take the first severance $ they offer.
4) Take it home, next day, call your (ex) boss, or whoever, and tell them you need 6 months more pay, 6 months more COBRA continuation, and 6 months outplacement (for support with your job hunting) to sign the agreement.
5) They'll balk (they always do). BUT, counter! You may very well come away with more money from this place that has just treated you as disposable with more $, and $ saved from their paying your COBRA.
6) Finally, don't get mad. Get even. By using this situation to create something even better for yourself.
