Hey guys! So I’m starting to get interest in joining the FAAS sector within EY. My recruiter is asking me which part I would like to join, Finance or core/commercial. Does anyone have any insight on which might be better for growth, hours, work life balance etc? Would love to hear your thoughts EY

Honest review of FAAS is it’s a mixed bag and really depends on the teams / projects you work on.
There’s no set busy season, but the past few years have had a 55 hour requirement for at least a month or two during typical audit busy season (Jan-march). But other than that, there are busy times - around quarterly and annual reporting, or if you work on a transaction that can a big push on/around the close date.
For the most part, I work around 45 hours a week, but I know plenty of people who regularly work more or less than that.
I work almost exclusively remote but I have colleagues that travel quite frequently or go to client sites regularly for local clients.
Biggest difference scheduling-wise (versus audit) is that your schedule will be much less predictable, as the projects tend to be more short-term / non-recurring (compared to audit where it’s the same thing each year)
