heated debate this week...just because "that's the way it's always been done", doesn't necessarily make it right. but what do i know, it's only my first year at this client.

in general if someone insists on something and cites that reason, there's usually a more efficient way to do it

Agreed entirely. There's always a better way of doing things.

Huh?

Elaborate?

this was a disagreement i got into this week. very frustrating.

Unless it's taking away from our EY culture and "balance" then finding more efficient ways of doing something is in everyone's best interest in the long run.

if this is coming from a client, there's a reason that this is the way they've always done things. it's your job to find that reason and determine if it could be accomplished more efficiently

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
