I'm new to all this. Is it best to save 10% of my salary all in my company's 401k (with 20% match, increasing by 5% every year)... or saving 5% in 401k and 5% in a Roth IRA?

hey, fishies! i got a dilemma. would you take an offer that’s $5k less than your desired salary range/expectations? (e.g. you say your range is $115k - $120k & they come back with $110k). but also this would technically be a $5k cut from your current salary, which is pretty much maxed out for its current title/salary band.

HOWEVER, i’d be moving from a midsized agency to a very prestigious agency, which also covers 100% of your healthcare premium AND deductible…

Anyone else get a “401k audit” email from Havas recently? I left the agency several months ago and just recently have gotten a few emails asking me to fill out some info for an accounting company called Marcum. The email addresses are from Havas, but I’m wondering 1) if it’s real and 2) are there any legal ramifications if I don’t participate? I just don’t feel like giving that agency any more of my time if there’s no ramifications for noping out of this…
