EY…side note, I’ve come across older clients that still say “PW” to me…like c’mon, we only merged more than 2 decades ago.

I’m 27 but I actually still use “Pricewaterhouse” when talking to boomers outside of interacting with them at work. I find “PwC” just don’t hit the same when they ask where you work.

EY for me, but people not familiar with accounting seem to prefer E and Y.

Saying E&Y is like saying Pw.
My preference: EY and PwC.

Most clients and the general public (the ones who are familiar with the big4) still call it E&Y or "Ernst & Young."

Looks like “ayyy”

Whenever someone says E&Y, I expect them to follow up with, “quality in everything we do.”

I feel out of the loop. How long has it just been “EY”?

Interview tomorrow for a tax associate opening at RSM. Been working in a mid-size city (different firm) that is about 70 minutes from this new home office in a larger metro. How flexible is WFH or dual model going forward post Covid? Am interested in this position and going to tax, but not be able to relocate for family reasons. Don’t want to drive 700 miles per week M-F. What will dual model be like going forward? 1-2 times week, 4-5 month? Seems like tax was more flexible than audit pre-Covid
