International Student 401k etc.

I’m an international student starting FT next summer in NYC. I’m familiar with how 401k, Roth IRA etc. works but I was just curious how other international people have navigated this.

Do you guys contribute or not bother with it? I’m thinking of going back home maybe in my 40s so just wondering what other people have done.
