I just wish they would drop the farce and just call it what it actually ends up being, discretionary

I work at a place that has unlimited PTO, and nobody tells you about the unwritten or even overt pressure to not abuse it. There's always the talk of "it could go away" if people aren't respectful with it. Plus, you don't want to burden your team by being gone for a super long time. I actually take less PTO than when I had a limited amount, ironically enough.

Preach. It’s this weird pressure when you ask to take off… and if you are in a start up culture your workload burden gets pushed onto others—- which creates the new awkward pressure like you shouldn’t take off for a week.

Unlimited PTO doesn’t really mean unlimited.

Sometimes unlimited PTO can feel like a sneaky way to avoid paying out unused days. Employees feel pressured to stay glued to their desks because they don't want to "abuse" the system.

Depends on location though. Some regions (eg. Canada) require that a min number of vacation days need to be paid out regardless

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 keep getting stuck on the 1099 piece because I’ll be working 40 hrs/wk, but have been told I’m not eligible to be a W2 employee. Needless to say, no benefits whatsoever. They don’t even provide a computer or any other remote equipment for the completely remote position. Am I making a mistake? Also, can anyone chime in about being a 1099 employee?

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
