EY hard pass right now, not the same collaborative firm it used to be; sharp elbows all around, a lot of questions on the current leadership.

Hearing the same and in certain regions, it’s dire. For eg. 5 partners chasing a $200k opp in FSI in canada.

Sanity check: the direct admit process at my firm is pretty arduous. To go through that three times concurrently to have three partner offers in hand would seem almost impossible. How did you pull this off?

PwC1, you nailed it 😀

Why would you leave? Is it money? All of them have drawbacks. Out of the three I would pick the first one … and only that one.

Haven’t made a decision at all… just got reached out by headhunters and trying to understand what it might look like …

Head hunters reaching out is not the same as having offers

likesmart

Agree….original post was a bit misleading! Headhunters are “desperate to network” and show value and unless “exclusive engagement in a real role” I do not even talk to them (they are mostly networking).

How are the offers?

Equity partner roles … but want to know more about the culture and what to expect in terms of work, client relationships etc

A&M is an eat what you kill model… no triple counting… if you are a solo hunter and can sell (not prominent here) go for it.

Why would you leave BCG if you aren’t going to MB?

Like others have said - A&M is the best from a comp potential but you need to be ready to confirm work on your own and with minimal support. If you can do that then you will crush it

B4 Partner here and have been pursuing opportunities with three different firms this year, received written offers from all three. It’s still active and firms are still making moves.

Offers are consistently materially higher than comp in current firm (homegrown Partner). Culture, performance metrics, independence and go to market are vastly different across the three.

Anyone have insight on Business Transformation, Digital Strategy Practice in FSO?

I got the impression this was a small but fast growing team on the west coast, and the work sounds like a combination of product, agile delivery, and roadmap dev. But, as an outsider to the firm, I’d be curious for EY-ers’ thoughts/perceptions on the practice. Is it generally well regarded? How is the practice leadership & culture? Is it truly a hot/growing market like my interviewers have portrayed it as?
