post tax(Roth) or pre tax 401k? which is the better option for us on h1b?

Post tax while in relatively early stages of career I.e. less income (and so Lower tax now vs when you withdraw at retirement) + more uncertainty whether you will be here long term
Pre tax at a later stage when income moves to higher tax brackets

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
