100% match up to 6% 401k. HSA. Flex work week. Remote work capability.

That's the floor IMO. Anything more is great.

Yup, icing on the cake. Although, I recall Boeing having a much larger 401k contribution. Something like 200% up to 3 and then 100% up to the next 3%

At my company our 401k match is a bit light at 3% but we have 100% healthcare covered. Nothing comes out of our check for the coverage, deductible is covered 100% with a secondary insurance card. This is for individual, couple or full family.

Dental is nothing out of check and $2500 coverage per year. Pre-tax FSA and Dependent accounts.


2x salary life covered. Optional additional life and AD&D is cheap. Vision is like $14.

And how is the job security in Amadeus?

Hi fishes ,

I received an offer for senior manager position in PWC .

Can you please let me know about the health insurance coverage amount ( senior manager position ) as it is not mentioned in offer letter.

401k loan for first house. Taking $20k to go towards down payment and closing costs. Option 1 is a “personal loan” with up to 72 month payback. Option 2 is “home loan” up to 30 years. With the monthly payments, I lean towards Option 1. Any cons to this other than it impacting my DTI when they see these debt payments on bank statements for mortgage pre-approval? I plan on having the loan sit in savings to “season” for a few months. Does this make sense? I appreciate insight! ☺️

I was promoted to manager in Jan but received an offer with a 35% salary increase and much cheaper health insurance outside the firm. I am 85% sure I’ll take the offer, but wanted to see if anyone could think of acting I may be missing out on by leaving? FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA. I think what is holding me back is my guilt for my immediate team but just want to check.
