Do desi consultants opt for 401K? Upside/downside?

Based on my limited knowledge, on early withdrawal from 401k you have to pay a penalty of 10%. But if you withdraw wisely such that you avoid the annual tax bracket then you save ~25% of tax on your salary.
So I am in favor of 401k

D1 thanks. What about Roth IRA? Do you contribute to that as well?

I do contribute 5% to Roth IRA, which I would probably not withdraw until 60 years, even if I leave US
And 10% to traditional 401K

With social security potentially running out, why couldn’t it be an option for the govt to put $5k for every baby that is born in a year into an account Invested in a govt share class S&P 500 fund. Historical average is 10%+, which would provide roughly $2.7 million for a baby born today. Eventually, this would eliminate the need for soc sec tax, and would only cost $18 Billion a year instead of several trillion a year being deposited into the trust.

Unethical Persona Finance Tip:

Put your mortgage on forbearance and stack up and save as much as you can. We don't know when this will be over, the forbearance won't hurt your credit score (yes, you will pay interest), but when all said and done you can save 6 months to 1 year of your most important expense in case 💩 hits the fan.

Nothing hits the fan, you would have saved enough to probably put the down-payment on that vacation home you always wanted to get.

When do you look for your next role?

Joined new company new team, finally happy with the people, the vibes, environment, but I want to work on a different product and industry (been in financial services for 4 yrs).

Previously I'd look immediately if I'm unhappy, but I'm happy for the first time and not sure how to strategize this.

From the start of 2020 to the end of 2021, I single handedly kept our marketing department stay alive at a smaller org. Right before my boss got fired, & a coworker left the company, I was already taking on an operations role, plus my role at the time (marketing coordinator). For the next year, I would take the role of the VP marketing, a marketing manager, an operations coordinator and my role. I have since only been given a small raise (after fighting hard) and promotion & still only make 44K
