Should I rollover my old 401k(s)? I do backdoor conversions so ITA is out. All my accounts are with Fidelity so it's not a hassle to manage separately [cont]

I feel like all the advice I read online is for lower earners or people who are less familiar with saving for retirment. I'm hoping this group has some deeper things to consider.

I have worth 500k in 401k. I rolled them only to consolidate and manage easily.
Another big factor to consider is fees, if the fees are low then i dont really see a need to roll unless your current plan allows mega roth conversions.
Some people suggestrolling to IRAs for the sake of flexibility to invest in individual ETF or stocks but I feel that should be left out of 401k.

Just an opinion

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.
