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?

Enjoy then…maybe you come back with your plus one! :)

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.

Hey beautiful people,
I’m 27Y and work in tech. Unfortunately my carpal tunnel is getting worst slowly. I’m worry that I still have like 45 years more to be retired and can’t stop working because I have a f* mortgage to pay 😭 I have a super ergonomic workstation, but I know my hand needs a long rest, and I can’t do it… Does anyone relate? What do you recommend?

Is it good to get stocks as part of CTC which has 4 years vesting period?

CTC looks high due to this stocks but effectively i would not be getting it for the 4 years. Also the yearly hike includes this stock component.

CTC had fixed, variable and stock part. Variable and stock is almost 30% of total ctc.

Really confused if this is a good deal or is it a trap.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
