Looking to boomerang back to PwC. The offer for a salaried position was pretty solid, but that one-time sign on bonus will go away the next year (obviously). They mentioned ‘Talent-Exchange’ and getting paid hourly with no benefits. If I did that, I would make about 205k (gross, with no benefits). That’s assuming I would average 55 hours a week throughout the year (pretty similar to what I work right now). Anyone have experience doing this? I’m worried averaging 55 is not possible.

With off seasons you’ll probably average 35-40 since you’re not paid during firm holidays and closures. You bill everything worked, but work can drop off the cliff in off season. In peak season you’ll get much more than 55 hours so it averages out. Best of luck!

As others mentioned you still have other medical and payroll expenses to consider, but do you.

It should only be for the busy seasons and a friend of mine did this and worked 6-8 months out of the year and the money was about double of his annual salary and he picked up work when he wasn’t working for pwc with permission.

That’s awesome! I hope it’s better than you expected!

I would find out how much it will cost you to pay for medical yourself and see how things look with that in mind.

You’re assuming you’d work 55 hours a week. Some people on Talent Exchange have weeks where they work 0 hours.

Yeah - I’m fairly familiar with the group. We have three busy season (essentially). Averaging 55 a week would take into account about 6 weeks of no work at all (firm shutdowns, holidays, slow, etc…)
