Our match vests immediately, but you don't get any match until a year and a few months of working here (it activates Feb 1st and July 1st). So if I start march '16, then my match starts July '17 and vests immediately when it starts

A2 is correct. If you interned at Accenture and go full time, you get 100% match the first July or Jan that fulfills a year

Ours is a free 4% regardless of what we put in, then 50% of the first 6%. 3 year vesting (which starts for interns as well, BTW)

OP that's true about the grass - comparatively Big 4 retirement contributions are are zilch especially compared to MBB and some industry jobs - but many workers get zero retirement contributions and our grass looks pretty green to them.

No pension, but there is annual contribution based on firm performance to the 401K.
ACN - that's pretty good.
Other than EY does any consulting firms still do pensions?

Ey does 25% up to 6% for years 1-3. Then year 4 onwards it's 50% up to 6%. And we still have a defined benefit plan (pension)

So at risk of derailing the thread, if people say they're maxing out their 401k-- they mean the IRS limit? Or the max amount the firm will match?

Everyone has a different perspective on this but would love to hear yours. Someone has debt ranging say 4-5% interest rates. Do you attack debt more then investing to move towards a debt free life or do you go after investments since they return historically above that then paying down closer towards retirement. I know the latter looks better on paper but what about the psychological factors of being debt free and the guaranteed return on interest savings.
