Hi, I'm switching jobs this week and I have about 6k in my 401k from my previous job. I read something about rolling over to a IRA or transferring the balance to my new company's 401k. Can somebody explain these options? I have no desire to withdraw any money from it. Which option is the best for me?

TIA!

do you have a roth IRA? if not, I'd roll that into a new roth IRA

and then start a new 401k with your new company

Rollover IRA

Best option imo.

Because it's a relatively small amount, I would roll it over to the 401k. I wouldn't want to bother with another account, unless you were planning on making contributions to the new IRA. Those contributions might not be deductible depending on your income anyway.
