What happens to your 401K money when you leave a job if you are vested?
Since your 401(k) is tied to your employer, when you quit your job, you won’t be able to contribute to it anymore. Also, if you had a 401(k) match, then you only get to keep all of that money if the contributions had fully vested before you left. If not, your employer would get to take back any unvested contributions.
