Worth it to roll over $16k from TSP to my new Roth 401k? Or just leave it where it is and start from zero with the 401k?

TSP is like a traditional as opposed to Roth. I would roll into an IRA, and based on income, convert to Roth IRA or not.
Generally I use my IRA to consolidate employer retirement accounts. You have more control, and it motivates you to max you IRA in addition to you 401k.

See below - pro-rata rule

TSP has just about no cost associated with it. I’d leave it unless you are looking to retire before age 59 1/2

I would either roll into Roth IRA if your income is relatively low or keep where it is. If you roll into traditional IRA and let it sit, you won’t be able to easily execute a backdoor Roth IRA every year

Especially if you are high income earner (I.e., don’t qualify for Roth IRA) then you would most likely not want to convert large balances to a Roth IRA to avoid the taxes

What is the partner compensation like at BDO? Base/equity as well as pension. I heard there is 5 years as fixed partner and then 10 as variable partner before you can earn pension. Say you make partner at 40, so can’t earn pension til 55. If you retire at 55 does that mean all you have is whatever you’ve contributed to 401k or otherwise saved? Or is there a lifetime salary if you’ve been partner a certain duration?
