Hi all. Taking a 1-2 years (don't know how long) to work for an early stage startup that doesn't offer 401k yet. Don't want to lose these investing years. How do I best make up the 19K after 6K IRA?

Hi all,
I have been a practicing DPT (doctor of physical therapy) for 9 years and am a certified orthopedic specialist. I have worked in multiple environments including hospital based outpatient sports ortho and acute care. I am about to finish up my MBA with a focus on healthcare administration, and am worried that my current place of work may not have a place for me to grow into. I'm hoping that some of you may have suggestions of roles or positions to pursue? Thank you!
