Lol. I was getting like 12% all in match in industry (Fortune 500 oil and gas)

Pwc lacks in health insurance coverage options and 401k fund options. 401k match is ok 25% on the first 6% I think?

My "profit sharing" is awesome. It all comes out of my take home, but the total amount contributed to the 401k is redic

like

you all are lucky...CRZ offered no match...but there is a profit sharing contribution at year end which is maybe 1-2%....BUT you have to work like 3 years before you can even get it...and then there’s still a 5yr vest 🙄

like

KPMG is 50% of first 5%. Total shit compared to the 5% dollar for dollar I was getting as a Fed.

like

MA is 50% of first 6%

KPMG does offer a pension on top of 401k match. Makes the match (2.5% of total salary) look not so crappy.

like

PwC also gives you 4%( think this rises the higher you progress) into your 401K/wealth builder regardless of your contribution. Would still prefer the pension though

like

YOLO

like

BDO offers a match of 25% of your contribution up to 8%, so max 2%. After 3 years of service, 50% match up to 8%, so max 4% match.

As for other benefits, they need to leave our PTO alone, it’s pissing a lot of people off!

like

0% match. PS at the end of the year of 1-3% historically

like

Deloitte is 25% of first 6%.

Ey is 25% of 6% (first 4 years) and 50% after four years

Doesn’t EY also offer a pension?

EY has a pension. ERISA max for Snr manager and below. Top hat plan for exec directors. Biggie plan for partner/principal. 401k match is pretty good. Goes from 25% to 50% but not on total contributions, it has a cap. But in real terms, I think my match was about $7500 last year.

My company just gives 3% flat. Whether I contribute or not. Vesting % increases gradually from 2-6 years. At 6 years you’re 100% vested.

Public accounting firm retirement plans are ass unless you make Partner.

Hi everyone! How did you discuss with your boss all the time you’d be needing to take off for appointments? My boss absolutely hates when people take time off.

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?
