Worked with a senior a couple years back that recently switched to FDD from audit (internal transfer) — I’m rated a high performer and would like to make the jump and I’m thinking about reaching out to him about the process, does anyone have any advice about how to go about this? I haven’t spoken with this person since we worked together. Thinking of just emailing him and expressing interest and asking how he did it

My organization absorbed another and the former deputy PM became a branch head - a demotion. For org was more focused on tech dev and not delivering a product on a sked.

He has no heir apparent - previous org didn’t plan that way. If I move him under someone who is a driver - he retires and I lose the knowledge. If I don’t, we may not meet schedules. Advice?

Skip the pre-tax 401k in favor of mega Backdoor Roth? Thoughts?

Rationale is building up a tax advantaged nest egg for retirement and then using brokerage for more med term goals (5-8 years). I can afford to pay taxes now and compounding benefit is high.

Income ‘22,190k. ‘23, 295k. Age 26

I would be capturing company match with either 401k contribution. I wouldn’t be maxing out mega Backdoor, probably about 25-30k. Want to put another 50k in brokerages
