I haven’t received a raise in 2 years so I’ve been wanting a new job. However I’m only 75% vested in my 401k at the moment. If I wait till the end of October I’ll be 100% vested. Should I wait?

That would depend on if you can find a higher paying job and how much the extra 25% vesting is

Yes, this. Run some numbers.

Start shopping for a new role and you might get hired just in time October rolls around. Also you see if the new firm would honor/match that 25% as a bonus?

Not sure how it works in the Art world. But Directors get sign on bonuses and stock option buy outs in Finance.

I was thinking that in today’s job market it might take until October to get hired anyway.

The only way to know is to run the numbers. How much is vesting worth against how much is the raise.

Why not wait? You could consider becoming a Facebook commercial advertising agent, which can only be regarded as a second career

Why would anyone consider such a bad idea?

Look now. It might take longer than you think to have a new offer.

The additional vested amount would probably be around $6k for additional info. I would not leave my currently agency for less than additional $20k

Then it sounds like a relatively small factor on the list of factors involved in choosing a new job.

Yes

I've seen people say that if you're underpaid, you can't just outline your contributions because your manager needs a compelling reason for finance to bump your salary and they need to prove you're underpaid.

Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?
