Anyone have any advice on new appointment and trying for kids. I’m thinking we’ll wait about 6 months to start trying. I won’t be entitled to leave until my year probation has passed but I thought even if it works leave would still be after my probation

You have to have been a fed for a year before you qualify for PPL, but you can still use annual leave and sick leave before then.

You're also not guaranteed to get pregnant as soon as you start trying.

I'd say go ahead and start trying anytime after you start your new role.

Thank you that’s helpful. I was also just a little nervous it would be seen as a negative if I plan it like right after my year passes. I know legally no one can use it against me but in reality that’s not always the case. Appreciate the thoughts. And agree we may start now then.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?

I just got hired for a government contract through Accenture for a Business Analyst role. Pay is $65 per hour. 3 year contract. Benefits too. No PTO. Holidays off with pay, after 90 days.

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
