I am stuck trying to determine my allocation towards trad 401k and Roth 401k. Which is best? I will be maxing our either way

What brokerage does your firm use for your 401K? Please list firm and brokerage, plus how good the options are.

Hello, I've been working as a Healthcare Consultant for over 4 years now & I am currently a Consulting Manager near the Philadelphia area seeking an opportunity in NYC. Anyone know anything avail?

Come on D get with the times! Amstelveen, Netherlands-based KPMG will also be:

Reducing employee health care premiums by 10% in 2022 with no change in benefit levels.
Replacing its current 401(k) match and pension programs with an automatic firm-funded contribution equal to 6% to 8% of eligible pay, meaning employees will receive contributions without any requirement to contribute their own money.
Providing up to three weeks of additional paid caregiver time, separate from paid time off.

Curious if anyone has made the shift to Mckinsey from tech? I have an offer to come into Expert (but with expectations that I hit Associate Partner quickly):

Salesforce - 200k base, 40k (opening) + 50k (year 1) + 75k (year 2) RSUs, 15% Bonus

Mckinsey - 215k base, 35k bonus, 75k signing bonus

I know the salaries at Mckinsey skyrocket when you hit Partner - but the work-life balance and benefits at Salesforce cannot be underestimated - and my RSUs keep getting larger and larger...thoughts?

What is your 401k setup? Firm match, % into pre-tax, % into Roth, % after-tax contribution, etc.

Slalom moms, could you share any details on Slalom’s paid parental leave / maternity leave policy? How is your work-life balance? Would love to especially hear from people at the Principal level.

@PwC partners - two unrelated questions:

1) partner pension - I heard they are changing the formula. Can you elaborate on what the change is and if you feel it hurts new partners?

2) partner buy in - what is the actual buy in $ amount? I've heard $250k but wanted to confirm.

advisory if the answers differ at all. Thanks!

Just got my first exit opp offer and I’m pretty bummed. Currently a Deals Analytics advisory manager at PwC.

I have military benefits left and can get most MBA expenses covered at a Top 30-ish school. Should I pull the trigger? Has anyone regretted getting their MBA and pivoting into consulting after the age of 30.

31 YO, 8YoE Industry …I’m in the interview process at all Big4s currently but I’m getting hiring freezes and consistent ghosting. I can’t even apply to new roles at Big4 because I’m already in the process at all of them. Maybe if I had an MBA I’d be more competitive?

Anyone ever have a client be issued a check for a small 401k balance and the client never cashed it? Believe they had 60 days to get it into an IRA but they didn’t. What are their options? Continued.

Can someone share what’s the best way to invest in stocks or ETFs? Which platform/application is better with minimum hassle? I searched online but just got confused! I just have a 401k and Roth.

Is it worth even investing in my 401k right now if I don’t plan on staying at my firm for two years? I believe that’s how long it takes to vest so it seems a lot less attractive without the match

Anyone have details on student loan-related benefits in the economic bail-out or fiscal policy changes over these past few weeks?

What are good salary negation tips when you KNOW they are underpaying and there is some wiggle room, but they keep playing hard ball saying “benefits add up to a few thousands technically”

What would Medicare for all do to healthcare consulting?

Every time I interact with the American healthcare system as a consumer, I become more sympathetic with socializing the whole thing 😒

What happens to my employer match and my own contribution to my 401k when I leave a company?

Soooo… I need to find a way to automate the following: I need to track full time equivalent employees (FTE) by job title. I have the hire date, term date, job title, and other general payroll info. If an employee terms, I need to replace that employee with another employee that is active and with the same job title. I’ve been doing this manual, but now I’m getting more projects of this and need to find a way to automate. Hopefully, the description makes sense…

I have one doctor prescribing adderall and went to a different one for Zoloft. Is there any reason I would need to consolidate doctors? Each specialize in the respective field so feel fine having two.

Take home is about $5k per month (92k per year) , is $2k per month too munch in rent?

Anyone had any experience with either Austrian or LOT Polish airlines checking bags to final destination on two separate tickets? Have a close connection and this would be easier. Both Star Alliance.

I have a friend/former co-worker who just informed me she’s being sexually harassed by a partner at a firm I used to work at. She is apparently at least the 4th woman to fall prey to this POS and the firm continues to cover for him while the women ultimately leave with nothing more than a note in the HR file. My heart breaks for her and I am livid. Although I have endured sexism as a woman (as i imagine most here have also) ...continued in comments...

Think I’m done with dating apps unless it’s tinder to get laid. I am 30 been on them since I was 22 and find them to be such a waste of time. I’ve met some descent people on The League, but that’s not how I’m going to find the “one”. I am going to concentrate on joining groups that I enjoy and being outgoing. Time is precious I’m just burned out on apps - anyone else feel the same way? I was recruited by a match maker I’m going joint that lol
