I changed my employer to Discover Financial Services. I don’t have lot of information on 401K. Should I roll over the
Vanguard 401K deloitte ($10K)
to
Edelman Financial Engine 401K plan from Discover.

What do I gain/loose if I do rollover to new employer/IRS ? Your recommendation please.

When you move assets to a new 401k plan you are bound by the investment options they have...which may be better or worse.

The best option is to rollover an old 401k to a Traditional IRA with an investment firm that offers a wide array of investments...MFs, ETFs, stocks, bonds, etc.

Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab are top choice, but there are others. Consolidating your banking relationship with one firm you like will keep your management of everything easier, clean, efficient.

Rollover to an IRA. That’s what I did when I changed employers. Much better investment options than I was getting in my 401k

like

Remember if you don't have an IRA, rolling over to one will make you ineligible for backdoor Roth. I decided to keep my old job's 401k where it was to keep the option open for me

Meaning if you are above the income threshold to contribute to a Roth IRA, you can put post tax money in a traditional IRA and immediately convert it to Roth to get around the rule. If you have other money in a traditional IRA it get converted on a pro-rata basis (basically proportional) and you'll get taxed at your income tax rate.

Keeping it in a 401k and out of a traditional IRA prevents having to worry about that.

I don’t want to be in life sciences forever but figured it could be a good launchpad into consulting. I’m 30 so not old, but also not young.

Hello All!

I currently work as a contracted Operations Manager but I’m in need of something a little more sufficient as far as salary. I have experience in Management both restaurant, healthcare, and I suppose this particular position counts too I just don’t know how to specify it. I really want to get out of the 35-40k salary range and I have the experience to do it just not the degree. I think I suck at interviews too (I get really nervous and start doubting myself). Any tips or suggestions?
