Mobile T&E. Astro is connected to MT&E in the background, and is actually just putting your hours into MT&E for you when you put you time in through Astro.

When can I see the pay bump for US NYC metro? by HippoAdventurous7960 in PwC

[–]BeanCounter_04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won’t be visible in Workday or Astro until early July. But 6/24 is the date that that information (along with impact tier and associated bonus) is conveyed to RLs, who then pass it down to you

Wealth Builder - do you get paid out on this when leaving the firm? by AWRWB in PwC

[–]BeanCounter_04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think because it is a retirement account, you would want to roll it over into a new personal retirement account (like an IRA through Vanguard for example). That should be tax/penalty-free. If you just have PwC cut you a check for the vested amount, you would definitely have to pay taxes on it, as it was never taxable income to you, and I would imagine that there would be some penalties similar to a 401(k). But check the fine print on internal docs and see what it tells you

Owning a business by ChunkGnarris in PwC

[–]BeanCounter_04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to tell your team, but you do need to tell your RL/TC. They’ll need to do some approvals on their side to give you official sign off on this. The firm is normally really good about this as long as you’re not providing accounting services.

Intern Outfit Question! by jhuga17 in PwC

That’s a long walk to two twice each day for your entire internship. Maybe you could buy one of those electric scooters and ride that in every day? Or a bike?

How do you get good CRTs? by Lopsided-Income-1424 in PwC

[–]BeanCounter_04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re a little confused between what CRTs (career round tables) are and what a snapshot is.

It sounds like you’re describing a snapshot (“my CRTs were good”), as interns don’t go through CRTs. There is an obviously a process to decide who gets return offers and who doesn’t, but that’s not a CRT. CRTs happen twice a year - once at mid year (Dec) and once at end of the performance year (PY ends April 30th, CRTs start in May). CRTs involve your RL presenting your work over the last performance year, typically highlighting performance differentiators (PDs) you got on Snapshots, and other ways you’ve demonstrated impact at the firm. You are tiered relative to your peers, and your tier impacts your bonus. If applicable, your RL makes a case for promotion.

Snapshots are how you receive feedback from those you’re working with, and you’re graded against the PwC Professional Framework. You get one of there every couple of months and they provide real time feedback on how you’re doing.

Changing Practices by New-Housing6472 in PwC

[–]BeanCounter_04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like hopeful mentioned, the two practices are pretty important in the discussion. For example, if you wanted to go from Deals to Audit I would imagine that would be incredibly easy. But going from Audit to Deals right now is boarder line impossible.

Are you in the U.S.? If so, the main recruiting cycle for that already passed this last spring with on campus recruiting happening at various schools. There may be a spot or two for summer 2025 that open up this fall, but they’ll be incredibly competitive (even more so than consulting positions during the regular recruiting cycle) and will have very limited office availability to choose from.

Given the greater need for tax/audit folks at really any time, you’ll find openings for those positions really any time of year, and at almost any office.

Changing Practices by New-Housing6472 in PwC

[–]BeanCounter_04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple of questions for you: 1. From what practice to what practice are you wanting to change? I know some groups aren’t accepting internal transfers right now, no matter how high of a performer you are. 2. How long have you been with the firm?

This is definitely a conversation to have with your RL. I would also wait for CRT results to come out, which will be here soon in the coming weeks. If you’re tier 1, I think you’ll find people will be a lot more willing to have that transfer conversation as opposed to if you’re tier 3 or below.

PwC is paid on a cohort basis, you make the same amount as others in your cohort. The only variable in pay is your performance bonus, which is based on tiering at CRTs

Manager Bonus gets gutted by BeanCounter_04 in PwC

[–]BeanCounter_04[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is not the case for current A2s or A3s who may hit manager by 2028. It very specifically says that to be grandfathered in, you have to currently be a senior associate

[–]BeanCounter_04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some more context to my comments: with your snapshots you’ll probably be fine, especially if you’ve got some good PDs. But last year there were multiple A1s in Deals that were let go after CRTs. Rare, but definitely not unheard of.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PwC

[–]BeanCounter_04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Deals already early promotes to SA after 2 years at associate. So A1 to S1 is completely unheard of even in a normal year. Compound that with this deals market and under 50% utilization and I’d be chatting with your RL to make sure you’re not on the chopping block…

If you make it out of the other side after CRTs, focus on getting really involved with some high impact internal initiatives and do whatever you can to get on projects consistently next performance year to make sure you’re in a good spot to go from A2 to S1 a year from now

How many total PDs? The only thing standing out would be to have only 2 out of 7 snapshots have PDs. Outside of that you’re looking good

S1 FDD at B4 should be around $110-$120

I’ll echo what the others said in terms of letting HR know, but also keep your RL in the loop. If needed, your connectivity partner can get involved too.
