Pray tell what is the $250K mark? Some penalties? And roll it into
what? IRA? Capital gains amount??

If you make over $250k the Obama tax increases really smack you.

Rolling it to a IRA shouldn't be a big deal but my roll over wasn't over
$250K so I didn't go there. But I don't remember any such limit. The
key
is making sure the money shows up in the IRA promptly.

If you have a tax pre person, this is a 1 minute question, I would ask.
I
suspect you can roll it over without issue.

Also need to consider vesting if some of it isn't yet vested. In which
case just roll over the vested part.

Vesting? That only happens if the company does a match of some of the
money.
Some companies have instant vesting of 401K money. Others require some
sort
of wait.

Why would you be in a 401k if they didn't match? Why not a IRA then? In
an IRA you can self direct it better with a much more diverse set of
options. Hell, I transfered out of the US and left it open for 1 more
year just to vest before I rolled it over into an IRA. It was part of the
equasion.

You could put more money in a 401k than an IRA would be one reason. And
watch what you invest the IRA in.
