Don’t Orphan Your 401(k) When Changing Careers

Changing careers is a big move — exciting, maybe a little nerve-wracking, and full of new opportunities. But in the middle of negotiating offers, updating LinkedIn, and learning the ropes of your new role, there’s one thing many people overlook: your old 401(k).

Leaving a job doesn’t mean you should leave your retirement savings behind. When you “orphan” your 401(k) — meaning you leave it untouched at your prior employer — you risk losing track of it, missing key communications, and limiting your investment options. Some plans may even charge higher fees or restrict access once you’re no longer an active employee.

Fortunately, you have options:

Roll it into your new employer’s 401(k) (if allowed) to keep all your retirement savings in one place.
Roll it over into an IRA for more control and investment flexibility.
Leave it where it is if the plan is well-managed and low-cost — but make sure you actively monitor it.
Take a taxable distribution.

We can help you make the best, informed decision for your unique situation, ensuring your retirement strategy stays on track — no matter where your career takes you.
