If I max out my 401k before the end of the year, I am still eligible for employer matching?

No. Employer match is pay cycle based. If you contribute $0 in a pay cycle, employer matches $0. Hence it is advised to change 401 contribution percentage before bonus hits your pay.

Yes. Your personal max is separate from employer match.

You are still eligible for some match, it varies by employer as to whether they calculate the match based on the individual paycheck or the full year of contributions

Unless you can't make rent otherwise, you should at least contribute enough to get the full company match

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

A few years ago I found out that companies are required to release their job titles and salary when they sponsor someone for an American work visa. If your firm hires international people, salary data for that role is available.

There is a website called
h1bgrader.com that has turned all that data into an interactive dashboard.

I think this data is far far more accurate than glass door or any other self-disclosure forum.

If you have unlimited patience you can lookup H1B data on Uscis.gov and analyze it yourself.
