Considering a move from EY to KPMG. Tech Advisory in both cases. Any perspectives on pros and cons between the two firms? Curious about culture, comp, WLB, etc.

It's the same thing, different PowerPoint template. If you have an established network at EY, you're doing yourself a disservice to move to KPMG.

You’re spot on with it being the same stuff, but I’d contest the network part. It was something I considered as well before hopping over, but I found it pretty easy to build a new network. I also found that my “real” network from KPMG didn’t disappear the moment I left - I still keep in touch and am close with many of them.

It seems everyone who jumps from one big 4 to another gets a massive pay bump. It's as if they're more loyal to external hires than their own....

I was 1.5 years in when I began exploring other options, and left just before I had spent 2 years at KPMG. I don’t regret my time at KPMG though - both firms have their pluses and minuses. But I am satisfied with my decision to move and would do it again.

I did the opposite move, also in tech advisory, feel free to DM me.

What in tech advisory? What level?

We apparently are more chill in culture. The other TA people I know I mostly like, pretty relaxed for the most part but do expect you to do your part

How about the systems and processes? EY has terrible/old systems. Is KPMG operating on modern technology, at least?

And are there a million manual/email approvals required for things (Pricing, Deal Governance, etc.) at KPMG?

KPMG moved to Concur for travel and expenses, which Mercury pales in comparison to. Their internal tools for other Mercury-type things are miles ahead of EY’s, however their version of Discover makes Discover look like technology from 2100.
