I mean recruiters are breaking down my LinkedIn lately but I know that would still take a month at the least to get hired. So I want reserves of 10k a month for a rainy day.

Maxing it out

like

I max it. I get a 5% match, so it's a nice bonus to what I contribute.

I've only maxed it since I was 32. Before that I wasn't making enough to comfortably max it given family/housing/student loan expenses, but I always contributed enough to get the full company match at the bare minimum.

Maxing it out. Company matches full upto 6%

like

6%+5% employer safe harbor contribution

10%. Kept it there for the bonus payout as well.

10%

10% w/6% company matching. Trying not to look at it, planning to use in about 10 years.

16% , special case though, my financial advisor told me I was not on pace for retirement and I needed to step it up. I contribute the annual limit now

I max it out and enjoy the match. Early on in my career when funds were tighter I'd contribute whatever was necessary for the full match. Around 5-6%

15%, which maxes it out but I have the excess spill over into after-tax contribution

8% - can’t afford to max it yet

12%

7% which should be enough to max it

14% and not maxing it out 😫😫😫

Finally maxing it

14% plus Firm's contribution - I'd do more but student debt.

Historically maxed out, but 0% for the next couple months. I want a more liquid position.
