I’m going to quit my company soon, and transfer to PwC Asia. I’m little lost in terms of what I need to prepare before moving away from USA (401K, Bank accounts, visa, etc).
If my start date is in September, when should I plan on quitting from USA firm? I would like to make sure I have enough time to relocate (but still stay few weeks to prepare moving), receive cash pay out for unused vacation hours, pay check, etc. Could you please share anything that I should be aware of before quitting?

You can continue to work until two weeks before the departure date from the US. Reach out to PwC HR group. They should have a dedicated group of people that can assist you with the relocation.

OP do you plan to return to the US in the future ?

1) Get an experience letter or take pay stubs before you leave.
2) Make sure you are able to access life at work portal. I think that’s what is used for access to 401k etc?
3) If you have HSA account, see that you can access health equity account.
4) If you plan to not repatriate 401k & wealth builder money, open a Roth IRA account and roll some money into it starting the year after you move outside the US. Leave the Roth IRA as it is for five years and then if required withdraw principle amount in installments each year penalty and tax free.
5) If you are a CPA, take the annual CPE records to renew your license.

This was really helpful! I’m planning on coming back via L if they allow me, but for now I’m thinking permanent move.

I did read where I could roll it to IRA, I may choose that option ($50 monthly management fee if I kept it in 401K is what I heard).

HSA is something I haven’t thought about, and I definitely should reach out regarding that.

Overall thank you!

Of course! Mind sending your experience and level? I can share if the new hr is looking for that level

Did you try transferring through PwC Global Mobility? They'll help you cover some of the cost and let you know what you should do about your 401k etc before you leave.

like

Yep

Did you do this through some transfer through pwc or did you do job search by your own?

Yes, I did reach out to HR contacts directly to inquire about the opportunity!

Why are you transferring to Asia? How is your compensation compared to US

US definitely pays more but work life balance, rich culture, and better food. No brained I wanted to try and live the life rather than stressing over visa and racism in the USA

OP - Which country/city are you relocating to?
