[EU] Buying company shares at my job - worth it? (discuss.tchncs.de)

As the title mentions, the company I work at is offering free shares when buying back some of the company's shares, as well as a discount, depending on the amount of shares purchased.

Could any of you advise me if it would be a good idea to start investing into this? If not, could anyone suggest any other investment avenues to a complete n00b like me?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the advice.

I'm not particularly young, but I'm now at one point in my life where I am on the upturn financially, and I was thinking of making my money do more for me.

WSB = ?

Any tips on going with a growth fund? What should I look into?

WSB, Wall Street Bets (notorious Reddit forum).

I'd suggest talking to an investment advisor, I am not one and won't advise you pretending I am.

Right you are, thank you!
