Depends on the situation, but I think general advice would be to do one of two things based on the assumption that you're in your 30s and don't already have a solid plan on what to do with 10k on your hands: 1. Invest in yourself.

For a remote team, you have to make space for people to get the face-to-face hallway/watercooler chat time if you want to build a solid culture. Time for people to get to know oneanother that is easy if you're co-located. Easies
