Thoughts on rolling over a previous employers 401(k) to another vs a Roth IRA. I'm not sure of the costs and tax implications of doing a Roth conversion so plan to seek guidance from an accountant. But wanted to get some advice from people more knowledgeable then myself. Thanks.

Is the 401k traditional or Roth. If Roth and this is a former employee, no issues. A major brokerage should be able to do this and no tax issues. If traditional, you will have to pay tax on the balance.

Fair enough I'm new to the work force so mine only have about 2 years but thanks I'll look into that

Should I wait until that promotion is offered to me? Or would it be dumb to apply for a Venture X card separately and a) hold both cards or b) close out the original Venture card.
