What are the health insurance premiums for other Big 4 firms, for the "best" plan? Do they follow EYs pricing model (where they charge per child up to 5), or do you still have a "family" plan?

Do you think age (or perceived age) factors into promotions or raises? Curious about the typical age that people are promoted to principle, sr. manager, manager, etc, or does the vary by industry? I’m on the younger side but have a lot of work experience so wondering if age will hurt me in future promotions
My firm has us under a PTO freeze through September. Says the workload is too heavy and no PTO requests during this time will be honored. We can't even put in vacation requests until this freeze ends. How is this legal?
Has anyone taken a mental health/stress leave and are they paid? I am suffering but can’t afford not having a paycheck.
How late is too late to be sending emails to the team? Sometimes I'm working later into the evening and send out emails so I don't forget. I'm sending these emails to the team's work emails and I've made it clear I don't expect responses until the next day. But sometimes people still complain. Just turn off your notifications when you leave work. What's the big deal?
Did you learn anything in college that actually helps you in your career? I've been thinking about it, and I'm not sure what information I've taken with me from school into my career. Makes me wonder, what's the point of college?
My high deductible plan at EY is something like 25-50 bucks per month, and I save more on my tax bill through the HSA than I pay in premiums.
EY (best plan) is $152 for employee, $228 for spouse and $122 per child, up to 5 (after 5, you only pay for 5). The other option is $104, $157 and $84, respectively.
EY’s plan is SO MUCH better than D’s. Used to have a small deductible and minor co insurance and now I have a larger deductible and co payment in lieu of co insurance (co payment - higher amounts you are responsible for, and they don’t go into the deductible).
Jeez! I pay $26/month for employee only and I thought that was ridiculous. Every other place before accounting covered employee only 100%
So a family of four is $624/mo? KPMGs highest plan is $654/mo for family of four but only (lol) $724 for family of five and above. If you have a lot of kids, KPMGs would be way cheaper than EYs. With all that said, our second best plan is actually just as good for most people and is $404/mo for family of four and $448/mo for five and over.
Pwc plan sucks for family (low deductible plan). I pay $890 per month for a myself, spouse and an infant. The pro is that irrespective of how many kids I have, the plan premium is not going to increase by 890. The downfall is that it literally has no freaking benefits. After paying this premium, My max deductible for a year is still 6k (planning for second baby and was looking into it). Seriously, it sucks (gift from Tim Ryan as in 2016, the same premium got me literally 1500 deductible on my first kid).
So a family of 4 (employee, spouse and 2 kids) is either $624 (premium) or $429 (second best). We have a high deductible option as well, but the cost differential isn't that much more than the second best plan. The most you would pay (employee, spouse and 5 or more kids) is $990 or $681 for the premium or select plan, respectively.
Family plan
There is two family plans. One for more than two kids and one for two kids or less.
Damn that’s $152/month?
Not to mention I pay a higher premium
Yes that's per month.
SA1 where do you work?
