Argued with another EA today who tried to tell me a Roth IRA is a waste, that a 401k is all that's necessary... Wouldn't accept that they are two different retirement options and equates to more money

Exactly...

You can contribute up to $18,000 to your 401k and put up to $5,500 in a Roth IRA or traditional IRA that same year. One is not limited by the other.

Thanks @OP, good to know!

His "personal financial advisor" told him so...

I hope he's on Fishbowl...

But you're limited in the aggregate, right? I mean if you max out your pre-tax 401k contributions, you can't add more to a Roth...?

^D1 I think you're confusing an IRA and a 401k too. Both can be Roth, but only the 401K is employer sponsored

Hey guys, so I have competing offers. One at Bank of America for 124, and one at Allspring for 110.

Does anybody work at Allspring? They did not provide any information regarding benefits, 401k match, or any annual bonus structure. I was told, verbally, that the Bank of America bonus is something like 15 to 20%, but nothing in writing.

Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge about compensation structure at Allspring, or any opinions on the culture there. I would be in Charlotte.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?
