Hi all — I’m considering an opportunity at PwC (Senior Associate level) and had a couple of questions about compensation and benefits.

1. When is the signing bonus paid? What is the return policy if you quit?


2. What’s the vesting schedule for the 401(k) employer match and Wealth Builder contributions?


3. Any red flags or “read between the lines” aspects I should be aware of before joining at this level?



Appreciate any insights — trying to plan ahead and make an informed decision. Thanks
