Well I make more money, work less hours, and I haven’t thought about internal controls since I joined so there’s your differences.

No, audit at another firm

Come to CMAAS my friend. CMAAS pays considerably more and we have the most established AAS practice.

Gotcha, I’d prefer to be aligned with the LI office then get that mileage reimbursement if/when in the city

More hours in non busy season. Much more interesting project. Massive pay difference. Work with brighter people and brighter clients IMO.

Made the switch from EY to another employer for advisory, definitely was right for me. If you’re looking to switch feel free to DM me for more info, a referral

I find the culture is great in faas so far, and managers more chill than audit. While all the talk about PwC pay is true, maybe feel it out until the August 5 raises come out before making your final call.

I’m in CMAAS but same thing different colors and name.

Like others have said, work less, paid more and don’t want to gouge my eyes out at all times with the work.

I would leave asap.

Looking to do the same as well! Are you considering an internal transfer?

Was the right move for me. Left EY for Deloitte controllership. Lots of different projects types, better work life balance, and a 40% raise from audit. Not bad

If ur looking for a referral to pwc deals - dm me
