Pension plans haven't been the reason to run the rat race for over a decade.

If you're not focused on 401(k), IRA, and brokerage for the rest, you're doing it wrong.

Most partners die within a decade of retirement (5-7 years?) so it’s not like they’re going to live long enough to enjoy it.

The problems with defined benefit pension plans are typically being seen the most in government systems (City of Chicago, school systems, firefighters, etc.), and are often due to actuaries using aggressive interest rate and mortality table assumptions to make the numbers work out (often due to pressure from above).

If Big4 has to reduce liabilities by moving from defined benefit to defined contribution (which the rest of the country has pretty much done), I’d imagine PMD yearly income would have to skyrocket instead.

like

Defined benefit schemes are on the way out everywhere. They are always miscalculated and insanely expensive. Here in Europe, all the people retiring now were expected to die like 3 years after retirement but are now living way longer.

Basically, we are all screwed. The government needs to just default on its pensions liabilities and start again.

CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
