Holy crap, I didn’t even realize that between 401k and PwC pension plan I accumulated $100K! 🙊

I don't know about PwC, but the EY pension plan is top shelf. They quickly bleed you of your hopes and dreams, placing them in what I like to call "feelings purgatory". When you retire, those hopes and dreams are slowly funneled back into your life. This lasts for between 18 and 24 months, when you die.

We have two parts to the plan. One is the 401k. PwC matches 25% of the first 6% of your base- essentially that is 1.5% of your base as long as you contribute the minimum 6%.

Separately, we have a retirement wealth builder program where they contribute 4% (at least- of goes up with levels, I’m a manager and I think it’s 5 now and goes up to 6 at director if I recall correctly) regardless of contribution.

The 401k match and the RWBP both are fully vested at 5 years.

Hope that helps

Is it not convention for most employers (public or private) to match 100% on up to 5% of salary, so effectively up to 5%? So then you’re putting away 10% every year.

Thanks PwC 6!

We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
