Thanks for suggesting

EY varies. My WLB has ebbed and flowed with client need. My experience has been that many industry jobs are significantly better wlb wise

You’re going to run into WLB issues at every company just depending on the team and project. I’m in EY consulting and rarely work over 35hrs a week. Few week here and there of 55hrs but nothing crazy.

EY pay is indeed lower than market though

Deloitte, but WLB will be worse

Get him to exit to Tech OP!

Google, Meta, ServiceNow, Salesforce ....not Amazon

OP, what practice area, narrower than consulting, is your spouse in? Wlb in big 4 is sometimes a wildcard. Could get lucky or screwed on any given project, though some areas (long term implementation, government sector) tend to have better hours and others (strategy, due diligence) have worse hours.

Jumping to another big 4 at the same level could yield a 20% pay increase relatively easily. KPMG is generally regarded as having the best wlb of big 4. However, depending on the practice area within consulting, wlb may not be better.

SAT
energy and automobile sector projects mainly
Mostly his project duration varies from 1week-5weeks, May be that is the reason of poor wlb

Does your husband want better work life balance? Some people just enjoy working and interesting projects comes with more time needed. He can request to transfer to an internal group at EY or look for staff aug projects if he wants better work life balance.

Thanks for suggesting this

What kind of consulting does he do? My company has awesome WLB, but we primarily do business transformation consulting
