I was looking over my portfolio and I saw less of an increase for my 401k than last year. I know the market is crazy but does this have anyone else worried.

That's a reflection of what a good year the stock market had last year. The major indexes were pushed higher last year thanks largely to the Mag 7 stocks driving big advances. Stocks are up year to date this year, but there's been some deceleration. I have worries about the market, and I'd be more worried if things just kept going higher with no regard for fundamentals.

Wow you’re so much more knowledgeable about this than I am. But I am definitely worried

Not worried. I’m decades away from retirement and I expect a lot to change in between now and then

Yea that’s very true

I currently work at a large research institution and am in the process of getting retroactively reclassified to a new title (Long story but my PI is cheap and routinely pays ppl the bare minimum so now the Union is helping me w/ a retro reclass.) Reclass can take 2 - 6 months to process. Meanwhile, I am interviewing for industry job. If I get an industry job, what do I do if my reclass isn’t processed yet? I want the title and the money owed which may be about $15000- 20000.
