    Has anyone had luck convincing their employer to offer a mega backdoor roth?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 08:09 PM PDT

    I work for a mid-sized startup in the Bay Area and have maxed out my 401k and Roth IRA. I asked our benefits team if the plan we have through Fidelity offers a Mega Backdoor Roth and unfortunately, it does not. Right now it seems like the only other option I have after maxing my 401k and Roth IRA is a taxable account, and I'd strongly prefer the Mega Backdoor Roth for the tax-free gains.

    I'd like to put together a presentation to convince the company why they should offer one. Has anyone successfully done this, and if so, what pointers did you present to them? I think telling the company that it wouldn't cost them any money isn't enough of a compelling reason. I was thinking of getting some other employee opinions and presenting it to the company, but to be honest I feel like most people won't really care as much. I've read a previous thread on this here but curious if there are additional ideas.

    Thanks all.
