Does it make sense that I'm happy with the company and brand, but not happy that there aren't opportunities to sell or show off my skillset in the sector I'm stuck in?

I like it sometimes but on the whole, I'd rate it below average. Too much fake stress, inane people issues, politics, crappy quality of projects and pathetic bonus despite being a top performer. However, I'd say all of the big 4 is similar. Can't wait to find a gig where I'm truly happy and less stressed.

^^^Here's why we are failing. This is the level of understanding and recognizing the problem that some bring to the table. People like EY7 will never focus on the problem or constructive feedback. They will find a race, religion, nationality and caste and start going on a super tangent. Not once will they look into what can be changed. And, EY7, I AM AN INDIAN. I am so tired of having to set aside the actual problem and prove my nationality and patriotism to you. Until, you guys stop practicing pseudo racism and focus on the feedback alone, everyone including the firm is lost.

Used to be great until 2012. From 2013, we started bringing all super delivery guys and made them managers and SM without thinking it through. They are basically heads down people and pretty incoherent during sales and orals. Then, we brought some real pos* who bring the rogue culture of accenture, Infosys, TCS and Wipro into EY. They have turned EY upside down. They can't speak, their behavior is rotten, they are micro managers and they think they are Big 4 worthy. When they open their mouth during calls, they put everyone to sleep. I am not picking on their accent or race but it's hard to ignore that they have zero leadership qualities, no presence and not to to mention no dynamism, enterprising or empowering qualities. The rogue culture of throwing everyone under the bus to survive has grown multifold. They think by making others fail, they succeed. I feel sorry for their foolishness

Yes. I haven't heard a substantial reason why elsewhere is better. I have had four previous employers and EY is so far the best among them.

Would definitely echo all that people have already said. Yes it's a political and complex organization as it relates to getting to do what you want (but that's got to be the case everywhere). The firm really does invest in you - you get what you put into it. There is a lot of opportunity if you're willing to pursue it over time. That said, I think it's fair to say that EY is not a short term play. It's definitely one of those places where it takes a while to establish yourself and own your career trajectory - which is hard to do if you're in for say <2 years.
