Assuming 401k and not Roth 401k:

Traditional IRA - straight rollover, no tax implications.
Roth IRA - pickup the balance in income, pay taxes now, and remaining amount can grow tax free. The 401k contribution will be eligible for tax/penalty free early withdrawal since you’ve paid taxes on it. Don’t recommend early withdrawal unless you have substantial need for cash.

Also assuming you made no post tax contributions to prior 401k

If you are going to have less income this year, and be in lower tax brackets, maybe a good time to convert to Roth. Item to consider

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home

I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
