I know my company does, but they make it reeeeaalllly difficult to apply. You have to be doing some sort of humanitarian work or something like that in order to even qualify. I also think you have to be at the company for a super long time. I started looking into it, got overwhelmed, gave up, lol.

Difficult by design. Saves them from having to say no.

In Switzerland everyone takes it for at least 2 months. Talking Big4. Need 5 years though.

My firm provides this option but the case has to be strong and the employee must have completed a fixed tenure ,should be in good standing with the partners and leadership…

Fish who have been feds,

I have been stuck deciding between two offers (both in IC, but one is more program analysis -similar to consulting work but on the fed side, and actual analysis).

The program analysis offer is at a higher GS level and a more well known agency, but is not what I’m interested in.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a decision? Go with what I want to do, or go with the more well known agency and higher gs?

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid
