I try to avoid this because I miss out on the company match for each pay period I’m not contributing. You may want to consider that OP and perhaps contribute post tax $ if it makes sense

Check with your plan administrator to know for sure...it is pretty common.

I have an offer to a commercial real estate company in hand. My current brokerage (residential focus) wants me to pay $3000 penalty since I’m breaking the contract and leaving.
