For PwC fishes who left recently, how did you consolidate wealth builder into 401k within benefits express to avoid the 20% federal tax withholding that was described in the benefits package? I tried to do this online but it didn’t show as an option except to rollover to an existing IRA or take a final distribution. Do I need to call benefits express?

Remember you are there for a reason and they need you more than you need them!
There’s a book called ‘The First 90 Days,’ that outlines how to get a great start at any new job. It’s served me well and I pass along the same coaching to anyone starting a new gig.
Essentially, the concept is built around adding value (why they hired you) as soon as possible.
When you start, you’re learning, asking questions and listening intently. In that way, you’re consuming the value of those around you. That phase should maybe last 30 days or so. From there, you should start asserting yourself and adding value to the team and company. The book says that’s your “break-even point” and the goal is to get there within 90 days, when your “new card” wears out. 😉
Essentially:
By 30 days - Listen & Learn
By 60 days - Leverage (what you’ve learned)
By 90 days - Lead!
