What is everyone’s employer 401k match like? I feel like EY’s is lacking but maybe it’s just public accounting in general (cont.)

I work for a PubCo. It is 50% no limit. I contribute 19, they 9.5. Immediately vest. Also applies to catch up contributions (I am not old enough for catch up though).

It is the best benefit we have, and I have never heard of better w/r/t matching.

^That’s not true. There is a cap on total combined 401k contributions of $57k in 2020, individual contributions are limited at $19.5k

like

1. 100% match up to 6%
2. 6% automatic (safe harbor)
3. An additional 3% not guaranteed but put in once annually every year for the last 5 years

-5 year Cliff vesting until 12/31/2019

-Effective 1/1/2020 vesting is 100% after 1 day of servic, yay!!!

As long as the salary stays competitive I can never quit this job. 15% is unheard of, except for the poster above who gets an unlimited match

I’d like to know what company too🤔

Ours is 25% of first 6% of salary and you have to vest over 4 years. Doesn’t seem very generous imo

EY2: I didn’t read the whole thread so not sure what happened. But you should ask HR for the $4k anyway. Just email SHRC or call EYHELP. Mine came at the end of the month of the 25th month. It’s going to be a lump sum WITH your own contribution. It won’t say $4000 exact but it should be obvious that the amount is much higher than usual.

To be fair I feel the change in benefit allowed EY to hire more aggressively, and this is a trade-off but the goal is for EY to stay competitive as a firm.

However I do agree with your point. The whole benefit package doesn’t make EY a great place to retire from.

25% of first 6% plus a contribution to a separate account which increases by rank.
3% A
4% SA
5% M

So at manager I get a total of 6.5% match on pre-tax earnings

It is most definitely not a cash balance plan.

So much incorrect information on this thread...EY match is: nothing for year 1 with firm. 25% Match upto 6% of salary contribution for years 1-2. 50% match on 6% for years 2+. This vests between 2 and 5 years of service (20%, 40%, 60% and 100% vested at anniversaries 2-5). There is a 4k automatic contribution made after 2 years with the firm. Vesting is the same on that as on matches

LOL, thanks for clarifying!!

Industry - ours is 75% of 6% contribution (in other words, 4.5% of salary), vests over 3 years at 1/3 per year.

Directors get 6% and managing directors get 8%. Not including 401k. So effectively as a director you will get 7.5% and as an MD you will get 9.5%. Pretty good.

I’m at a regional firm. It’s 100% match for first 3% then 50% for the next 3%. So I do 6% and they put in 4.5%. Immediately vested.
