I had interviewed for an internship position at EY for technology consultant program for summer 2022 and got a call where they extended an offer. I wanted to know if I can defer the internship offer to fall 2022 or a later start date after summer.
I apologize as I cannot reply to a comment or DM on this platform to anyone, but thanks for your answers in advance.

RFA is a huge practice and all of those things will vary widely based on team. No information I could give you on those things would be useful because you can have one team in an office working 75 hour weeks traveling 4 days a week 50 weeks a year, and another team in the same office working 40 hours a week remote. And for salary, the range for a new hire could be anywhere from 55k-100k depending on skillset and COL.
My best advice is to not join RFA unless you are SURE you know what type of work you will be doing and you are sure that’s what you want to be doing. Advisory at deloitte is a second class citizen to consulting, and it’s very very difficult to move to consulting if you don’t like the work in advisory.
Most of rfa is just IT Audit, and I would not recommend going into IT audit (search around on fishbowl, it’s a universally hated career). There are other areas that are not IT audit though. For example, I worked in ESG reporting advisory for about a year, and it was more consulting type work but I was still paid literally half of what I am paid now in consulting.
The big difference between consulting and advisory is advisory helps clients avoid bad things (cyber breaches, misstated financials due to system design, violating new disclosure laws, etc.) and consulting helps a company work towards good things (growth strategy, ERP implementation, workforce transformation, etc.)
