I am a current resident graduating June 2017 and will start a 1 year fellowship July 2017 ending June 2018.
Through my current employer I have access to a 403(b) with 0% match. I am on pace to contribute a full $18K between Jan 1, 2016 - Dec 31st 2016.
My future employer will also give me access to a 403(b) but this time with a 100% match
.
Should these striking differences in match % change how I invest during my final 6 months (Jan - June 2017) with employer #1 knowing that on July 1st, 2017 everything I contribute is matched 100% with the new employer?
My gut tells me to not contribute a dime from Jan-June 2017, and once July hits max out the account because the 100% match will kick in. I should then max out the account again from Jan - June 2018.
Sound right?
