In BCG it seems we often fail ERISA testing, and that is notified 10 months after year is over......so best practices for us is to not convert at all, and do it all at once 10 months after the year is over

I’m at Accenture and do it every paycheck. I do an in service withdrawal to Roth IRA

Except I front load the mega backdoor amount for the first few months of paychecks

I try to do it every paycheck (15 days) but realistically do it once a month

My employer’s (VMware ) 401k plan is with Fidelity and offers automated after-tax-to-Roth conversions for the Mega Backdoor (see 19 in PDF below)

Recently switched jobs and had several thousand available to rollover into my new 401K. Also just got married/had a wild bachelor party/overspent on honeymoon, which led to me having about the same amount in high interest credit card debt. Definitely feel like it’s a one time thing and I know how to budget better for trips now. So, my question is, should I use my old 401K amount to just pay off my debt, taking the 10% hit in penalties, or should I roll it over to my new employers 401K?
