I am a medical social worker at a hospital since graduating with my MSW. I have been at the job a year and feeling burnout with little options for movement within the company at the moment. Besides case management and therapy (no individual, school, or CMH), what else can I do with my degree? Any advice is appreciated! :)

You have a lot of opportunities with a MSW. What was your reason for getting the degree?

Also what’s your own personal WHY underneath the job? Not just “to help people.” Really do the deep work of knowing your WHY. (Google Simon sinek!)

You might look up Sevita Health. They have many opportunities. You would qualify to work as a behavior consultant as well as several other roles. Just a thought! They are in all 50 states.

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?

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?
