What is the most important part of the compensation package to you besides base pay and why? Is it bonus, 401k match/vesting, PTO, Paternity/Maternity leave, healthcare, etc?

I think my top three are PTO, Healthcare, and 401K. But that’s probably cause I work at EY and I make $14 dollar bonuses yearly

Bonus is a huge portion of my comp - has been 22-31% of base salary for past 3 years. Healthcare for the family, PTO for the family, pension. Everything else are promotional gimmicks.

Accenture’s 401k match is fantastic. Up to 6%, 100% vested after just one year.

Bonus, 401k, Healthcare, PTO in that order. Rest is nice but not essential.

401k marching/vesting tends to be the next one I look at. Then PTO, then healthcare. Realistically, I should look at healthcare first, but since it’s hard to compare plans with what the recruiters give you, it’s easier to start with 401k and PTO which are easy to quantify.

1. PTO (because I want to live my life damnit)
2. 401k (because it's the one area my company's benefits really shine and it's hard to imagine giving that up)
3. bonus (because it sounds nice but has never been an option so anything is better than the status quo)
4. healthcare (because I assume the options will be generally the same everywhere)

OP what do you mean? We get a percentage of our salary based on performance. Mine was $45k last year. I will also say mat leave is important but that’s at a point in time in your career. I can’t say I was thinking about it when I was younger but it did keep me at my company when I started thinking about starting a family and I’m loyal to my company that they’ve been good to me as a new parent.

@SM1, what’s your bonus structure??

VP1 the percentages do increase as you get higher. Mine was 22.5% last year and it can go higher than that.

Those were all Manager I believe, maybe one SC. In addition, as a homegrown employee, my salary was likely lower than others, so gross may have been more in line. Also, these are obviously tied to performance, and I would assume I received near max bonus each year.

Seems like a low percentage for M and above

It's PTO. 401k match is nothing in Consulting compared to industry.. my wife gets 100% match up to 5% without any vesting period. Deloitte and most Consulting it's 25% of 6%.. effectively just 1.5%
