A new job offer rarely comes with just one decision to make.

If a career move is on the horizon this fall, a few things are worth sorting out before you sign anything:

- How RSUs are actually taxed at vesting, whether you sell or not
- Deciding what happens to your old 401(k)
- Why New Hampshire's tax treatment can change your timing

We put together a full breakdown for New Hampshire professionals navigating this kind of transition.

The fiduciary standard doesn't apply the same way across every advisor, every service, or every conversation. Sometimes it covers the whole relationship. Sometimes it only covers part of it.
