I started working for my company about 6 weeks ago and I was originally hired to work from a specific location closer to my home. I was told the 1st day of my employment that the location “is not ready yet” and that I would be working out of a temp location further from my home. It has been really inconvenient for me to say the very least and the remote option is unavailable to me until after the probation period which is 6 months.How should I approach having this conversation with my director?
Any gamer networking events in the area?

If you didn't get your H1B approved, don't contribute. I ended up not getting a visa, so I withdrew all mine and got taxed for withdrawing early. If you did get it, I don't think you should approach it the same way a normal US citizen would approach it. No? Why would it be different?
Similar here, maxing out the investment opportunities like an American. I think especially the early years in investing are crucial to build a solid foundation for your portfolio. That being said, I knew my visa was approved and an extension likely if I perform well. Uncle D sponsors your green card after 2 years for campus hires and 6 months for experienced hires so it was worth taking the risk IMHO

GT1 better put a ring on it just in case
@EY1: she actually has been asking for a ring lol. I don't want to go down that route just yet so I told her that I'll propose after the 1st year of her MBA
I think you should max out your contribution now. In most cases, the $$$ from your firm should be more than enough to cover the extra 10% in early withdrawal penalty and you won't miss the returns which actually add up quite a nice chunk given the bull market
GT1: that's not true. If you don't stay a certain length of time, the firm's contribution doesn't vest so you are left with no contribution and all of penalty
@SC1: for the employers that I have been with so far, contribution matching is done annually
