Has anyone moved from Accenture Federal to CGI Federal at Manager/Senior Manager level? Looking at Strategy/Organizational Change Management roles, and curious to know if you feel that compensation and benefits were worth it when measured against your actual experience once you started working with CGI. (I understand that some of it depends on the account you're on, the team you have, etc., just trying to decide if it's worth considering.) Thanks!

34, 11 out of masters (12 out of undergrad), Midwest, married, own a house ($215K in equity) and also 40 acres (hunting land and cabin, $80K in equity and fully paid off), $80K in cash, $660K in investment/retirement accounts
Combined we are around $275K (Mid to low COL City). Yes plan to have a kid (been trying for several years and next step is IVF or adoption).
It’s been great reading these. For those of you in your 20’s and 30’s- I cant stress the compounding of the 401k. I’m 19 years out and have maxed mine out most years and have approx 700k in mine and my spouse has the same. Those are on non-partner salaries. Early on, I didn’t as I didn’t understand much about investing. After my 1st or 2nd year, worked with a great Sr. Manager who taught me so much about 401k, IRA etc and watching the accounts grow has been awesome. In order of investments, my priorities have always been in this order- max 401k to government limit ($19.5k this year), Max Roth IRA (if you hit income limit, do a “backdoor” Roth IRA- super easy at E*TRADE), coverdell IRA (Max $2k/year per child) for my kids (not as important now since 529 can be used for undergrad) and then 529 per child. After all that, I do investments at E*TRADE. In my 20/30’s did more individual stocks. As I approach retirement, low cost index funds are treating me great. E*TRADE is very easy, tons of research available and cheap trading. Happy to answer any questions or be of any help. I wouldn’t know anything had someone not helped me many years ago. Best of luck!

Exactly. This was a very eye opening thread. The kind of questions I’ve been wanting to ask my peers, but obviously couldn’t because of the sensitivity of it.
Do you want the number with or without the trust fund?
Yep

I really don’t think most on here are lying or have trust funds...but I think there are one or two with some family money thrown in...no way it happened on PA salary let’s be real guys 😝
