People aren’t answering your question. It makes sense to contribute to. Traditional over Roth 401k when you think your tax rate is higher now than it will be in retirement. I’d bias towards Roth as much as possible but if/when you’re making more than you’ll be spending in retirement, the tax savings today outweigh the deferred benefits of tax free growth

You also have to factor in how much your money will grow. If you defer $10k in taxes now via a traditional and it grows to $20k in taxes by the time you retire - if you are making $5k less when you retire then you are coming out behind.

Once you feel like you can do a mega back door. Then you’ve got 20.5k in tax deferred and however much you want in tax free growth.
