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.

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”?
