<prompt> Human: I got a job in a similar field and dont want to raise any red flags about where I work due to a non-compete.Would it be better for me to roll it into an IRA or a Roth? It is about 8,500 and I should have enough in savings to pay off the taxes.If I do a Roth, Im not exactly sure how to do it, but I want the freedom of picking my own funds. I will contribute to my current companys 401k once I am over probation.  <response>: Roll it into an independent IRA Fidelity, T Rowe Price, ect.
