What are the general views on if to rollover a 401k to an IRA or keep in 401k account? Main thing I’m thinking about is the fact that those balances are moved to the IRA as cash which is unfortunate as then have to reinvest them vs stay invested

There are many posts on this topic that will address your question. Honestly your main concern would not really be a major issue in my opinion

I wouldn't do the rollover. If you want to do a backdoor Roth in the future, you'll have to merge that rollover IRA back into a 401k. Not worth the hassle.

Sorry not following. Are you saying to roll my IRA back into my new company’s 401k?

Your concern shouldn’t be an issue. You can move the 401k balance to cash, move it to IRA and then reinvest in the same/similar funds. There’s no taxable event and maybe you will be out of the marker for a few days. IRA gives more investment flexibility but messes up the ability to do backdoor Roth compared with rolling to new 401k.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster.

Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
