I currently max out my 401k, HSA, and Roth IRA. I also invest in stock and crypto. With the latter doing so well, does it make sense to reduce my 401k contributions by a few % to capitalize more on those investments? 26yo

Curious what is involved with lateraling as a partner financially from a nuts/bolts perspective.

My firm has a lot of aspects of comp and benefits and it seems like a ton of moving parts. Not planning on leaving but I may have to start listening to recruiters if comp doesn’t go well.
