Consulting fishes 🐟 - did you all start out in consulting or were there who started out from audit or FDD? Looking for resources who can help me understand how the work varies and how to make the transition! 😊

I went high tech (semiconductor) manufacturing > startup > QA > text book publishing > magazine publishing > consulting (freelance) > photographer and producer > consulting (freelance) > agency (Madison Ave) > consulting (B4)

I liked being a professional photographer the best but was hard to make a living in NYC.
I got my mba equivalent with my experience and reading a lot of books along the way (so no.)
I never thought I would go so many ways so you have to go with the flow and see what direction life takes you. Don’t try and lock down your future, enjoy the ride!

People don't really start out in FDD, do they? It's usually a stepping stone from audit to something else.

Ok so I was in a job search support group today and the issue came up about one's aims when job hunting. They tell me it's not about me it's about what the employer wants.

Thing is for me it *IS* about me. The employer is just a vehicle for me to have the lifestyle I want. Why can't we be real about why we want a job? I want to be stimulated by what I do and be paid well. If a job isn't increasing my market value and doesn't pay well I'm gonna wanna to leave. What can I say, I'm a bad actress.

Can someone help me understand how backdoor Roth works in my situation?

I contribute the $19.5K max to a 401K each year. Would backdoor Roth be (A) the ability to roll $6K of that $19.5K into a Roth? or (B) an incremental $6K that I could contribute to a separate IRA then backdoor into a Roth?

Asked another way, does backdoor Roth allow me to actually contribute $25.5K each year, or does it just allow $6K of my $19.5K contribution to build in a Roth?

Thanks!
