I am honestly curious if I am on a good or bad track for 401k.

Don’t call it an anther dick size competition. I got a small one... and I started 401k late..

Considering 401k match is not hugely different from a company to a company, what is your balance, age, and portfolio allocation

Mine first
190k/42/ 60%stock fund, 40%bond fund

    Maxing my 401k now, and will stop contributing as much soon. Doing this to get compounded effect and tax break.

      My current TC is 180k, so I lose some of each paycheck every month and might need it for mortgage soon. Otherwise I’ll still contribute max (so I can get nice goog 50% match) as long as my TC goes up a reasonable amount.

      Dude, congrats! Retirement at early 40s is amazing.
      May I ask your net worth when you decided a retirement? Also how did you invest successfully?

      What is the nature of your work? Is it security? Do they have need for C++ programmers?

      I’m not as familiar with security groups need. Historically it’s been less day to day programmers since onshore/offshore but that’s been reversing some lately to be more technical. I’d look at job recs and see if anything looks interesting.
