Work life balance is very much encouraged in EY in Ireland - there is a big focus on people and it’s not rhetoric; leadership know that to continue to grow, while keeping our great people, work needs to be sustainable. Travel at present is non-existent and even before covid was quite limited with many of our clients based in/around Dublin. You will get home every evening, will get to switch off most evenings and have your weekends free (on balance).

What level are you coming in at? It’s much better in most cases than the US, up to senior consultant. Finished by 5.30/6 most days (project dependent though). I’ve only ever had to work a handful of weekends in 2.5 years and most people never do them.

Generally no expectation to be online all evening so you can actually switch off in the evening.

Limited amount of travel, even before COVID.

You'll definitely have a better work-life balance, but I wouldn't move for less. Personal income tax is high in Ireland and cost of living, esp housing in Dublin is very expensive. So even on the same salary, you're take home pay will likely be lower, and discretionary income lower again.
You'll be on call as D, and may have the odd weekend when times are busy, but by and large, people finish before 7 and have plenty of free time to themselves.

Hi everyone, I’m a 6th grade teacher who is thinking about teaching ESL in an adult school next year. The positions are usually part time, 9-12 hours per week. How is the workload? Will there be work that’s hidden under the required hours? For example, prep time, is it included within the paid hours? Thanks so much!
I appreciate anyone who takes the time to help me with my questions. 🙏
