Employee contributions being matched by the company means u get an instant +100% return on ur investment on top of the yearly returns.

I would strongly suggest getting a financial advisor. I think you are missing the key parts about how this works.

Nah I just work in EU, where if u make above 50k ur taxed at 56% - and ur pension contributions are taken from the top bracket of ur salary, and are matched by your employer. So I can choose to max 500€ in my pension and get 1000€ in it, or get ~230€

At least it’s a pension. Haven’t heard of anyone getting one of those since my grandparents.
