Recent grad, recently maxxed out my Roth IRA. My employer matches first $2,000 100% for 401K and 50% match on the next $1,000. Recently hit that $3,000, my company offers a super Roth strategy (mega backdoor Roth), with the ability to automatically convert each contribution to said Roth. Any suggestions would be much appreciated on whether I should begin with this strategy, or max out the unmatched portion of my 401K first? (Ideally I’d hope to do both) Thanks?

Advice on talking yourself up in interviews to place yourself above your typical year’s pay/skill?
