Does anyone have any experience of handing in their notice whilst on maternity leave? I’m tenured so have a long notice period so would rather do it and not have to return to my current role. Was also wondering on the likelihood of work letting me negotiate a shorter notice period given I’m not in the office anyway - uk based for context

Following!

Just to give you some info - I handed in my notice a few days ago. I am contracted to work 12 weeks notice. HR have said I can work 4 weeks if I want to leave early or stick to the 12 weeks. Also you don’t need to repay any of the maternity pay received so far (I’m in the uk). It’s been a very positive Experience

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!
