Is it typical for firms to do vesting for 401k? I've always had jobs where's it's 100% vested from day one. Possibly new role is 0% for first year than 20% increase per year to fully vested. So compared to current role for first few years in losing out that % of my salary and wondering if I try to negotiate

Very common. Deloitte does a similar schedule.

PwC2 - Both the 401k match and wealth builder are on the same vesting period.

Your contributions are yours, of course, whenever you leave

Thanks all. It's not 100% vested until yr 5 which right now seems so far off

This is a super basic example that does not account for interest etc. but say you contribute $10k a year and company match is $5k. So at the end of year three you have $30k of your contributions + $15k of company match. If you leave at the beginning of year four, you’re still going to hold or rollover $39k instead of the full $45k. It’s not that big of a deal if you leave for another great offer. Don’t stress about 4 years from now when you can still save the money and get a portion matched.

Vesting is common. Typically you only lose % of the company match portion if you leave before the 100% threshold, but any of your own contributions are yours to keep regardless of vesting. You can try to negotiate salary or other things but vesting isn’t usually negotiable because it’s written into the retirement plan administration rules.

You’re not really losing anything unless you leave the company. They still match you throughout the years, you just don’t keep it if you leave.

Most companies I’ve seen do it this way, especially in consulting or sales roles where turnover is higher.

I recently (1+ yr ago) transitioned from consulting to industry. The hours are much better. Total comp is less than what I was making on the consulting side (-15% less). My schedule is much better, and I have a good routine outside of work. However, I don't feel accomplished at my current role and feel like I am not learning as much. I was hoping that I would make up for that comp difference in a year or two but upward mobility seems limited. Is it too soon to look for another job?

Hey, Chi. First time caller.

So I'm considering a switch from law to consulting, and noticed EY has started posting salary ranges for positions. All the mid- to senior-level jobs I'm looking at are in the $95k to $150k range. Is that right? True for all the big 4? Seems super low. I guess I never thought about it before but how exactly do you folks get paid?
