maxing out of 403b if starting new job mid year
I have started new job mid-year. Had no other job this year. I am 30 years old. At my new job my income is about 100k per year (8k+ per month). I would like to “load up” my 403 b before the end of the year such that my total contribution for 2024 is 23k. However my employer tells me my 403b contribution is limited to 1.4 k per month, which obviously would not get me even close to 23k. Can the empoyer impose the limit on my 403b contribution such that it is substantialy less than 23 k per year. thank you.

Yes, the plan can limit your deferrals to a % of your wages, eg 15%.
