Not sure what the best practice is but I tend to contribute upto whatever is the 100% employer match. In my case that's 6%. I split it evenly between 401k and Roth - 3% each. Probably not the smartest strategy but seemed like a logical thing to do on surface.

In case of PwC, you get match on on both pre tax and post tax contribution. I max out pre-tax and contribute 9% post-tax to get the match and use mega backdoor Roth.

PwC doesn’t offer Roth. PwC allows you to contribute on pre-tax and post-tax basis and further allows you to do an in service non-hardship rollover. It also matches on both basis.
You can rollover your post-tax contribution to your Roth account. This is called mega backdoor Roth.
It’s recommend 15% of salary goes to retirement (that 15% can partially come from your employer if they contribute too). So give up to what your employer matches in 401k. Then put the rest of the percent you need in Roth. If you can afford to max out Roth though, do that.

I max out both. If you can't afford to do that then management consult 1's guidelines are solid.
