The hours are better than audit but you also have you watch your utilization which means you get stressed out when you aren’t chargeable and when you are staffed, there’s pressure to maintain your utilization. But it’s not a 3 month busy season. I find it more sustainable than audit but there are other pressures. Pay can be 10-20% higher than audit.

I had an interview for an ey faas position. The first couple of rounds (phone interview and meeting for coffee) they said the hours were much better than audit. When I went in for the interview, everyone was so beaten down. My impression of the whole group was "tired". It came up in the interviews with everyone I met with when I asked about work life balance about how they can be flexible but I needed to ready to work a lot. I still have two sections left in the cpa and one of the partners flat out said I would not have time to study because of how much they work. I never worked in FAAS but just passing along my interview experience.

SA1 im a manager in FAAS and your take is spot on! But i would say your experience depends on your market and the projects you are placed

Had my annual review Friday (first year with the company). Boss awarded a 3% raise though she said my review was “90% positive.” Worth adding I got a 3% sign on bonus last year, so I’m basically at 0% raise. Nobody under me has gotten less than a 7% raise in the past year. Considering promotions + counter offers as well, it goes as high as 25%. I don’t feel a 3% raise matches a “90% positive” review and plan to bring up the cognitive dissonance I’m feeling. Any other tips or advice to add?
