I'm offered a role at a company matching $0.50 for every dollar saved in my 401k and I'll be vested from day one. Deloitte only contributes $0.25 per dollar on first 6%, which will will be lost if I leave within a year. Am I wrong for wanting to pause/decrease my 401k contribution?

I will resume and max out when I join the other company in March.

Are they any alternatives that you’re putting in the funds to? The point of the 401k is t the employer match it’s

1. Advantage of Tax deferment
2. The disciples of putting money away for the future when you’d, more likely than not, not have a steady or as high income as you do now.

We need to stop focusing on the employee match and focus on us.

Isn’t the Deloitte vesting period 4 years?

Is it cliff vesting or staggered vesting?
