PwC 🐠- how does wealth builder work
Does firm deposit every paycheck or annually? Do amounts vary by levels? Is it pre-tax like 401k company match? Can they be invested in funds of our choice?

Essentially this is PwC’s version of golden handcuffs to keep you there long enough (5 yrs to fully vest), and to make up for their overall shitty 401k program.

Yes every paycheck. Percentage of salary (capped at a certain point I believe). It’s not pre or post tax, since it’s not your money. It’s firm money. Wealth builder works just like a 401k account, distributions are taxable and you can pick from any of the funds available in the PwC 401k account.

Our 401k is butt garbage

Worth noting that the time to vest is based on hours worked, not calendar years. For example, I'm on pace to fully vest (5 years) in a little over 4 years.

Admittedly, a disproportionately small silver lining to working "overtime."

P1 thanks. So does it equally vest over 5 yr period?

OP - I believe the vesting begins at 3 yrs and the fully vests at 5. Nothing if you leave before 3.

There is no partial vesting for the wealth builder. Got to stay the full five years to get the full amount. 401k is 20% after 2 years, 40% after 3, 60% after 4 and 100% after 5.

How much is PWC wealth builder match for associate seniors and managers?

Do you think agencies will eventually require employees to come back into the office full time? Now that I’ve experienced the benefits of WFH, I can’t imagine commuting 5 days a week, paying for a dog walker, waking up earlier, buying lunches again, having to get ready every morning, etc. I do miss some aspects of the office, so ideally would do a couple days in and the rest WFH but worried I’ll eventually be forced to go back full time. Any thoughts/predictions?
