Hi there. I am joining PwC soon. Can someone tell me what is the 'Care Award' allowance of $250 per year? Can I claim optical expenses with that allowance?

Also, does PwC sponsor CA ANZ qualification?

just look at the female SM and partners. Most are single, except for those who are partners for donkey years

Most of the new female SMs & junior partners are single. I am not sure what they hope to achieve , work till 65 - earn high salary , fat bank balances- But no one to pass inheritance to? All in the name of prestige and status , which goes away once you retire- what good isit I always wonder to retire all alone without a husband or children to keep you company. What good is all the money earned?

Strangely, on the contrary , most of the males are married. their spouses take the backseat and raise the children. Not to be sexist but I wonder why the females slog so hard for the big 4 at the expense of their own possible shot at happyness in terms of family life , being a wife or a mother.

Thats why i realized in my firm too. I guess maybe when you are rich you can always be a sugar mommy to younger guys to have some companionship at least.

Did you receive any emails closer to your commencement dates? I am starting soon and yet I have received no emails. No way they will rescind offer right?

It goes to show to succeed in big 4 you have to give your youth and prime to big 4 . Corporate prestige, money is not worth it at the expense of giving up family life . They “ marry” their work and for what ? Higher salary in their 40s - what use isit when you are too old to travel or have no one to share life’s happyness with

Money and pestige isnt everything . Wealth is all about passing down . What point is wealth if you have no legacy to pass forward or no one to share it with ?

Most of these women become nasty as they age , starting to hate life and taking it out on subordinates as felt of aging alone starts to become a problem. Some of them get obsessed in the care of parents and are lost when parents are no longer there.

I tried to explain to a friend once who is still gunning to be partner . Alas she thought i was jealous . Looking at her now , i wonder if she will find it worth it 20 yrs down the road ? So what if she becomes partner ? What will happen when they retire i wonder . Mental health plagues for sure

Besides working on weekends chasing staff, they will also post articles on Linkedin. It is a badge of honour to them. As long as they are happy, so be it. Not every lady aspire to be a mother or wife.
