What percent do you contribute to your 401k?

General Question I started tuition reimbursement last year in August. I since have an interview with another job that is paying a lot more. You know how you apply to something not really thinking that job would call back? Should I get an offer, what do I do about tuition Reimbursement? Do they send a check and tell me to pay it? Do they take it out of my 401k? I know a lot of people will say I never shouldve applied but I didn't think too much about actually get a call back when I applied.

I have $20k student loans and have been paying $1k per month throughout pandemic to lower the balance. Would you continue to do this? I could pay them off, stop payments in hope of debt relief or keep up with current strategy. TIA

Currently 31 with 6.5 YOE and single . Should have NW of 250k by end of this year. (No significant assets in India). Considering this money all reminds invested I should have a decent nest egg for retirement.

Will Amex restricting guess access for Centurion Lounge actually make any difference?
