I’m guessing you haven’t looked at the major difference in retirement contributions at the major compared to a regional. Maybe you’re in your 20s and it isn’t really on your radar yet. A 16% DIRECT contribution aka no match needed from your salary vs say 4% at the regionals. Compounding returns is very important to understand. One day the stock market will actually make $ again.
