Just 401k.

Benefits were just okay when I worked there. Nothing special

BDO pensions are only for partners. And BDO has two types of partners. Fixed and variable. You have to be a fixed for 5 years before you’re eligible for variable (or being a sales machine will get you there sooner) and you have to be very good at sales to become a variable share partner. You have to be a variable share partner for 10 years to start earning toward pension. I hear the pension amount is sweet, but there is a long path to get there and it’s absolutely not guaranteed to all partners.

No pension but the 401(k) match is better after a few years. The traditional pensions aren’t great. The rather have the additional contribution like pwc gives through wealth builder or additional 401(k) match.

BDO starts at 25% up to six and goes to 50% up to six after 3 years.

EY starts at 25% up to eight and goes to 50% up to eight after 3 years. The pension is effectively 2.5-7% based on age and years of service.

So not sure how the match is better

Thinking of making the switch too. What’s your thoughts on why to go to BDO?

What are benefits like at Accenture?

Desperately want to get into healthcare strategy consulting. 13 years of healthcare clinical experience including project work. MBA. But keep getting told by recruiters that I don't have enough experience to be a Consultant or Manager but that I have too much experience to enter in every level such as a Senior Associate. Just one rejection after another, even when applying with internal referrals from Director or Partner levels. What am I doing wrong?

Hi all, I am trying to DCA bi-weekly into Vanguard ETFs, (VO, VTI etc). It seems like Fidelity does not support auto buying of non-Fidelity ETFs. So I was wondering which of these options you think is best?

1. Open a Vanguard Invest account
2. Look for Fidelity ETFs that are similar to Vanguard ETFs
3. Use smaller brokerages like SoFi l, Robinhood etc.

I really do not want to manage nor be active. My goal is to log-in like once every 6 months.

Thank you all.
