What's the average 401k match and stock options being offered for you all? I find it interesting that management consulting industry contributes so little to 401Ks and benefits are high. I asked my financial advisor and she stated it's likely an industry issue because things look great in other industries.

50% match, no limit.

Stock, varies by level, roughly $200K annually for my level (vests over 4 years).

I would subsist entirely on personal loans if I can get an immediate 50% match on my contributions. I’d throw every dollar I make in there.

Most of the big consulting firms do a straight firm contribution instead of a match, right? Which is even better than a match.

Okay. Didn’t say they didn’t.

Partners get nothing.

Partners need nothing from a 401K, your pension alone will be worth more than most of our combined 401k’s

I came from banking and tech. The match and vesting schedule is paltry and not great comparatively. However, my firm has profit sharing which gets dumped into the 401k.

6% match - no cap
