The HR recruiter I’ve been communicating with for a role in a P*bli*is agency verbally confirmed that I basically got the job and will receive the formal offer soon. It’s been a few weeks now & I’ve followed up twice to check on the status but was told it’s still in the process of being approved. I’ve been paranoid & keep thinking that maybe they’ll rescind my offer even though they gave me a verbal confirmation —but I know that isn’t 100% certain until it’s in writing on the formal offer(cont.)

Yeah that’s strange. I would continue to interview at other places imo until I had an offer in hand

Yeah, I definitely have been because it’s been a strange situation so I wasn’t going to put all my eggs in that basket since nothing is for sure … I just wish they were being more forthcoming about the situation and keeping me updated more. I don’t want to be annoying and keep following up with them…but I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt. It’s just weird bc I’ve never had to wait longer than about a week after a verbal confirmation

Got hired at Dentsu, it took like 2 weeks to offer letter after verbal. I was super antsy and followed up so many times. It eventually came! I waited to put in my notice until letter was signed. Just keep being the squeaky wheel.

(Cont.)..so I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing a similar delay with receiving the official formal offer?

Is this Heartbeat by any chance?..

Yes and no - Heartbeat is another Publicis agency, and I know a few people + myself who basically got informal offers from there, then were ghosted for a few weeks to later find out that the position hasn’t been approved. I remember literally putting my job search on hold because I was 100% sure I’d be signing an offer with them soon. I would continue looking if that’s what you did too. I wish for you to get that job, but knowing Publicis, chances of it dropped to 0 after a week already

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!

I've heard a couple of things about how the partner pension amount @ PwC is determined, both similar in approach.

Both calculations I have heard of result in an annuity paid until death, at which point a surviving spouse (if any) receives the annuity.

The first calculation I have heard is that you get 80% of your highest earning year as a partner (e.g. If your best year was $1M, you'd get $800k as an annuity).

The second calculation I have heard is that they look at your three highest earning years as a partner, and take the second highest and you get 100% of that. (e.g if your three highest earning years were $1M, $800k, and $1.2M, you'd receive $1M as an annuity).

Is ANY of this true, or just all rumor? Any PwC partners that can chime in and explain the pension plan fact for fact? Perhaps with sample numbers?
