Well, getting fucked out of your 401k money 6 months before it vests stings some.

Is that an average time given a 12 month vesting schedule?

edit: Actually curious about the dead comment. What companies have multi year 401(k) vesting?

Every company I have worked at or seen does a match on a 12 month schedule or less.

Are they thinking of stock options?

IIRC Amazon has a 2 years 401k match vesting period.

Interesting.

per this article, Amazon 401k has a cliff vesting on matched funds at 3 years of employment. After reading around, it seems like 3 years is the legal maximum for 401k cliff vesting, with 6 years permitted for incremental vesting.

Two years is more typical.
