H1B 🐟: i am 2 years in and been contributing to my 401k. if i plan to go back for good, does it make sense to keep the min. matching contribution or just stop it?

I am just not in favor of investing in a 401k, rather invest in crypto, equity and bonds where I have liquidity- but again that is a personal choice

Keep it. That money is yours no matter what and where in the world you are. Matching contribution is free money on top.

thats what i thought EY1. just thinking which option will give me more money. because i have to pay a penalty (10%?) for early withdrawal of 401k

Following

Op - I am not a tax expert, bit I believe withdrawal of 401k incurs the penalty plus your current tax rate. So typically if you were to leave the US, wait for 1 tax cycle and then withdraw you only pay the 10% penalty cuz for that year your effective tax rate would be zero due to zero US income

Curious for some advice…

I currently have a Cap One Venture card. I have had it for a couple of years now but I am interested in upgrading to a Venture X card.

No promotion has been offered to me to upgrade my existing Venture card to a Venture X card.

Should I wait until that promotion is offered to me? Or would it be dumb to apply for a Venture X card separately and a) hold both cards or b) close out the original Venture card.

Do we need to file H1B amendments if we change groups within our line of service?

The level of shock and anger I’m seeing on my LinkedIn regarding the Twitter layoffs is puzzling. While unfortunate, didn’t we all know this was coming for months? They also get paid / benefits for 4mos + severance (correct me if I’m wrong). And it’s also only like a few thousand people at a tech company. I feel like they have a far better set up for recovery than others who have been laid off already where we all just moved on after seeing the headline. Thoughts?

Hi Fishes, Is it possible to process h1b as cap exempt if I had worked on USA in h1b status for few months and if the visa is expired now, once I join a new employer.

I’m a new associate to a T&E group, partner goes away on vacation and leaves me with a 706 to review and sign. The family is very wealthy. Decedent married for 60 years. Partner says it’s “just a DSUE election, decedent was ill for years, no assets.” Provides no records. Not even an admission the decedent owned a toothbrush. So I looked up the decedent’s home - it’s a joint asset. Partner was “surprised”, and still insists “no other assets”. I found file references to art and antiques.
