OP - For reference, I spent 9 years at D and my pension at the time of departure was ~30K and I spent 7 years at EY and it was ~75K at departure. Started at D so lower salaries and moved to EY as a manager hence the higher accrual.

Right and age also determines contributions to pension

Adding more data points: joined D right after college, and it’s been 4 years. Balance is around 15k right now.

Your pension amount is dependent on years service, age and income. If you stay with the firm a long time then the contributions can become significant.

There is no DB pension at PwC unless you're grandfathered in one. Just contributions into the 401k and Wealth Builder.
