For mega back door Roth contribution limit of $61,000 does that include the amount my wife contributed in her employer’s 401k? For example, if we both max out our employer 401ks at $20,500 ($41,000 total) does that mean I can only put $20,000 towards mega back door Roth? Or is the $61,000 limit for each person and I’d be able to contribute $40,500? We would file taxes jointly if that factors in.

Curious if my referral is still applicable? Let me explain the situation: I got referred for a job and a referral link came in to my email, I clicked the link and applied via Workday. After I applied I found a weird formatting error on my resume (panic mode). So I withdrew my application, which doesn’t allow you to reapply. I then reclicked the same referral link in my email, and when Workday came in I reapplied with a new email. Do you think the referral is still applicable ?

I suggested someone looking for March. After the following text exchange she just disappeared. Did I say something wrong?
