IRA, you have more investment options and probably better certainly many more investment options. on the flip side, you need to pick the investments. 401 your limited to the funds offered..

Does the new employer offer a match?

Come to EY and try to invest outside your broker account...huge pain with independence. Virtually there is not one F500 company we can buy because even if we don’t do the work the partners always think we will. I was at Pwc and this was not an issue if we didn’t work on the engagement

Has anyone here participated in the year long remote year program? My company is fully remote in the US and is in general supportive of me going but concerned about local and international tax liability. Remote year doesn’t share tax advice and our HR team is small. Curious to hear from people at companies who have done it before and if there were any issues from a tax or payroll perspective. Trying to get the formal approval from my company before officially signing up, advice welcome!
