Currently maxed Roth 401k, Roth IRA, HSA, and ESPP at 23 YO, should I consider an after-tax conversion? I’ve read about back-door Roths but I’m still far below the income limit as an analyst. Definitely looking into early-ish retirement, should I just invest the rest in a regular brokerage account until I reach the income limit? Am I even allowed to do a conversion? Any advice is helpful :)

Yes! Pack it into the Roth and let it compound for decades!

Wouldn’t you just stick to Roth now and only consider back door when you pass income threshold?

That’s what I assumed, I’m just used to contributing to the IRA, so now that I’ve maxed I don’t wanna sit on the excess cash. I guess I’ll just throw it into a regular brokerage account until I hit the income threshold

For context: already have a budget, emergency savings, no consumer debt (pay full balance monthly), and student loans are figured out, but I still have some income to spare
