Leaving my US firm for a European company. Don't know if I should rollover my 401K into IRA or keep it as 401K.

Not an American citizen, not sure if I'll come back to US or retire in Europe. Any advice? TIA!

Why are you moving OP? Do you take a pay cut moving there?

Leave it in a 401k for now. You can always make changes later.

Hmm did you have an IRA already set up back in the US before moving over? I read it's pretty difficult/challenging setting up an IRA if you're not a US resident.

I am an incoming associate (awaiting bar results). I have already begun working as a law clerk and am already being given plenty of tasks to fill my time, which I’m grateful for. I am also fortunate to be in working in an area of the law that is personally fulfilling to me, so a lot of the work I do doesn’t feel like work. Here’s the thing: I do my absolute best. I give polished, clean work, and I always give my personal best. However, it seems like a lot of the tasks I do always get sent back..
