Would it not be better to roll it into a 401k so I can max it out yearly or would it be the same even though I can only max $6500 in a roth? Im confused on having to completely start over on the 401k.

What you do with your money from a previous 401k from a previous employer does not have anything to do with a future/ current employer.

You really don't generally want employer 401k's if you can get out of them, they generally have higher fees than a standard IRA account with one of your large brokerage firms like Vanguard, schwab, etc.

So your best bet is likely roll your old account into an IRA and then do whatever with your new one that is not related to your old account.
