EY v/s GT...
Whom would you choose and why?
Can someone please elaborate on amount of workload, policies, work culture and the busy season.

I have an offer from both where EY is paying slightly better than GT.

However, not really sure what to choose.
I have heard that busy season at EY is crazy, though coming from D, this should not be a concern, however I am too scared to jump into a deeper well hence any advice/opinion will be really appreciated.

Thanks

What is GT?

Grant Thornton

Service line in both. EY has a bunch of tax service lines and each offer a different experience. Office will also play a factor.

GT definitely has lower utilization goals than big 4

Really depends on service line, level and group / region. Experiences can be very different.

Also depends on why you didn’t like DT. For example, is it the culture, specific policy, etc.? Then changing firms may work. Is it the amount of work? I doubt EY would be much different. Is it your specific local group you just don’t like? Then you would need to evaluate the people you met in the interviews.

I’ve explored switching firms earlier in my career and all the Big4 seemed pretty similar to me, with some culture differences and some are more dominant in different areas, but they really all follow each other.

Can’t speak to regional firms though.
