Keep in mind I am not American and have no idea. I think pre tax contributions, tax deferred vs after tax contribution tax free investing is what we are discussing right?

It depends on your expected tax bracket when you plan to withdraw funds

Tax guy here - how much total comp % are you planning to save?

In general - if you are affording your lifestyle I’d say the tax now (ie roth), you can also blend and do a little of both if you think you traditional at (x%) would get you down to a lower tax bracket but if not there isn’t a big reason to.

Considering you’re only a senior and you are making 140 I expect you plan to make 500+k at some point, where you will be super taxed and then dumping 50k a year into your 401k would make it valuable.

Either way the Roth grows tax free, so that growth is worth a lot more.

Don’t really have a number for how much I save. I max my 401 and Roth IRA each year. Plan to put 750-2k in my investment account each month (variable). But yes I expect to clip half million at some point on my career. I will continue with the Roth and let it grow. Currently in process of converting my old employers Roth 401k to my Roth IRA

I'm coming to the end of a contract term and being converted to FTE.

The offer was presented to me by the hiring manager and not HR/Recruiter. To me it is a lower base salary offer than expected, so I asked for info on the total compensation package (base, benefits, bonus, stock/rsu, etc.), which I was told about when they took me on under the contract with the intention to convert.

Hiring manager sends me an email with only standard benefits, no bonus, etc. Are these red flags?
