Accenture 401k match begins after a year, does that mean that I should hold off on contributing for one year? Or if I contribute immediately the match will happen retroactively in a year?

You can contribute without a match, and you should if you can afford it

The match is not retroactive, no

Ok. This was all foreign to me before, so thanks all!

No. Contribute as much as you can in a ROTH option if possible. Allocate your money into an index fund such as S&P 500. Don't count on an employer for anything other than what you receive in your bank account every other Friday!

No... You should always max this. The more time you have in the market the more your money will grow. I had mine set at 20% when I was an analyst and moved it up to 50% as my income grew. Payroll will stop deducting it once you hit the max contribution so you can set it as high as you want.

I think that’s what I said, in a roundabout way 😎
