Pain, anxiety, stress, sleep deprivation. With occasional moments of real pride doing something difficult, intellectually challenging and with real impact. So mixed bag.

Couldn’t agree more with you SM1. Also you’ll work in crazy cycles. When you’re working on a transaction, you’ll be really really busy with zero wlb. When you’re not, things will drastically slow down with PRDs. There’s generally no middle ground....Just my experience

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.

I started working as a consultant with EY 8 months ago. Even though I'm content and learning a lot there, I think there are places where I might easily earn more money.

Should I accept it? Or would leaving EY that early not be wise?
