If you have an old 401k from a previous employer, you have a few options for what to do with it. Here are a few possibilities to consider:

1. Leave the money in your old 401k account. This is often a good option if the 401k plan from your previous employer has low fees and offers a variety of investment options.

2. Roll over the money into your new employer's 401k plan. This can be a good option if your new employer's 401k plan has lower fees or better investment options than your old plan.

3. Roll over the money into an individual retirement account (IRA). This can be a good option if you want more control over your investment choices and want to consolidate your retirement savings into one account.

4. Cash out the 401k. This should generally be avoided, as cashing out your 401k will trigger taxes and early withdrawal penalties, and it will reduce the amount of money you have saved for retirement.

It's important to carefully consider your options before deciding what to do with your old 401k. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to help you make the best decision for your situation.
