You can look around for who is offering what, but cars are a hot commodity right now and I would not expect to be able to negotiate a deal anytime soon.

Because even they are expensive these days, the new ones I mean. Why get into a contract today that you might be underwater in shortly thereafter.. used car you can get rid of relatively easily if you find a new car that works in your budget

How badly do you need a car? Since the market is hot, I'd suggest you wait as long as you can if you're trying to find a deal

If you absolutely must, then try getting a sedan instead of a C/S/M-UV. America is in love with the UVs right now.

Which one will have more take home?
Offer 1: $375k ( ~70% base + 30% bonus + 10% 401k match )

Offer 2: $400k ( 50% base + 40% RSU + 15% bonus with close to nothing 401k match)

Assuming all else is equal and RSU doesn’t improve much, which will have more take home after tax?

Looking for a friendly discussion here... don’t know if there is a straight forward answer, but why are we allowed to put more in a 401k vs an IRA? They are essentially the same thing (correct me if I’m oversimplifying) with the main difference being 401ks are provided by employers. Do you feel like this could be a contributor to the wealth gap? 401ks are more of the norm at white collar jobs and a lot of companies don’t offer one. Is it fair? Talk to me.
