EY🐠 is it true that the work life balance is actually the best at EY compared to the rest of the Big 4?

I think it’s more of the culture. WLB is highly dependent on the group you’re in (i.e. TAS vs. Advisory)

True

Yeah, you're going to have to get more specific here if you want some actionable advice. Specific groups such as Assurance, etc. may be worse off than others.

What about TAS? Is that considered a good or bad WLB spot at EY?

Brutal by what standard? I’m an ex MBBer thinking about joining TAS.

Following. I’m interested in both the overall culture and the culture in OTS.

I’m in advisory, in my experience WLB has been really good at EY, but this is also my only B4 so far

Really depends on the group, not just service line.

Does making a switch from Deloitte USI to EY-Parthenon makes sense?

Deloitte USI
Pros: Good work culture, Varied Type of Projects, Exposure to US markets
Cons: Kind of back end work sometimes

EY-Parthenon:
Pros: India Market, Strong Clients in India (both corporates and start-ups), Front End
Cons: Heard culture isn't great, Not that much variety in projects

EY-P is offering same fixed salary :(

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?

Hi Fishes,

I have given my interview in HCL and cleared 1 TP, 1 hcl manager & Client TP and Client Manager rounds .
In initial screening HR told the generic statement of 30-40% and I have given my ask as 50% minimum. After clearing the rounds I heard from the project team that Client has given great feedback and wanted to take me in .
What is the % I can ask in HR Discussion and will they reject in HR if I ask more now .
I have 9.5 years total experience and role is Storage Architect.
Thanks
