After coming over recently from another big4, serious question for anyone that has been at EY for a while: do you feel proud to work here?

I do feel proud. Anytime someone hears I work at EY (and big4 in general), they assume I’m smart and a hard worker. That’s because of the brand. Trust me, I’m not smart.

I am very proud. Maybe crazy but I am one of those people that bleed EY. Really like the people I work with, love the work and enjoy the experiences. Been here for 11 years and I’m so proud to say I work at Ey.

I have received support in so many different times of my life. I had a partner call my husband and ask if we need food delivery because i was out of commission due to a surgery.

I personally do. I think the people that I work with are incredible and so smart. I also think the firm has invested a lot in me individually and for that reason I feel more invested in the firm. Sure there are areas that could be improved upon, namely tech, but I think its a great starting point. I've learned so many skills and even the lack of tech pervasiveness has urged me to take up my own learnings in macros and Alteryx, tableua, etc. I come to the office every day ready to learn, even if I don't love the projects that I am on. EY isn't my end goal but for now it is exactly what I need.

Certainly not the technology! But I think most of the people I work with do good work and when I went to industry I’d give them work.

Either way, I'm curious if anyone would know why I only received 25 months of education benefits. I was 100% active for 4 years, 3 deployments to Iraq, honorable discharge etc. And wondering if there is any way to extend my benefits and get the 36-48 months that seems to be standard.

I’m delegating and taking extra time to coach the staff but I still feel like I gotta do everything myself.

I have been told not to bill for this but if I didn't have to spend time to do such things my billable hours would be higher
