Is EY FAAS actually hiring ? I’ve been seeing the job posts for months on LinkedIn.

I get that stuff like this is supposed to be funny, but I also don't see why there's so much negativity around these firms. You do your time, get tons of valuable experience, and open up better opportunities than most other paths. Are people not aware of what they're signing up for? Do they just like to complain? Most jobs suck in some way or another, regardless...
