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

Been working on mostly (about 70%) public sector policy and strategy at Big 4 for most of my career. Often go up against MBB on RFPs and have a decent win rate. Would I be too senior to come in as a lateral hire? I guess it’s all about client networks at this level, and being government, it’s locationally dependent - so which markets have need?
