I recently started T2 consulting after M7 MBA. Over the past few weeks I’ve been reached out by a few MBB recruiters.

I’m 28yo and just spent the last 3 day’s modeling various retirement and career scenarios. I’ve learned that the best possible scenario for me to earn more and pass more wealth to my children is to become a well paid (~150-200k TC) government employee with a pension. My analysis assumes increased job stability of a gov employee vs the increased risk of layoff/up or out consulting path with the unlikely chance at becoming partner.

My health insurance open enrollment ends on the 15th. My spouse’s open enrollment for the new government job starts on the 16th. If I select my plan and discover the federal health plan is better, can we switch over during the federal open enrollment?

Is there a reason firms offer targeted benefits that everyone may not like (retreats, etc) instead of just increasing cash compensation? Is it cheaper for the firm to provide than cash?

Meta is giving 16 weeks pay plus 2 weeks per year at the company and 6 months of health insurance. Pretty good package - hopefully other firms give generous packages

I’ve seen a couple posts lately with comments saying that people should not use a Roth 401k. Does the logic below capture the spirit of that concept?
1. Use trad. 401k to reduce taxable income now. Convert to trad. IRA once retired, then convert gradually to Roth IRA (ladder, SEPP, etc.) at lowest marginal tax rate
2. Use Roth IRA (and/or backdoor Roth) to take advantage of tax free growth and ability to withdraw principal early without penalty
