Can anyone from EY provide some insight into their experience leaving the firm? I put in my two weeks and have a meeting with HR. Just trying to figure out what to expect.

They’ll ask standard exit interview questions. How was your experience at EY, what was the best and worst parts of the job, what feedback do you have for the firm/practice/etc

I’d be honest, but constructive. Going out guns ablaze may burn some bridges, but if you professionally explain why you felt like you couldn’t turn down the offer, it likely won’t hurt.

For example, I told them that I was leaving because I was burnt out. I also told them I was frustrated that poor performers were allowed to skate by while higher performers picked up the slack. Nothing I said is breaking news, and I’m sure they’ve heard it all 1000 times before. But if no one says anything, then there isn’t even a chance that it’ll change.

I did not, and would not recommend, calling out specific people. Unless there were big problems like discrimination, harassment, etc—in which case, light them up. I’ve personally witnessed investigations into things said during exit interviews, so the firm does take it seriously.

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?

Need advice. I’m at my first job in private accounting. Previous experience is as an auditor. I am struggling to figure out the way JEs are posted at my current company. It’s never straightforward even for simple entries. There’s things like settlements which confuse the crap out of me. I’m curious if it’s just my company or if every sophisticated accounting department will have non traditional ways of posting their journal entries.
