Very good friend of mine keeps telling horrible stories of Deloitte and how they treated the Australian workforce horribly last year when COVID hit

^ This.

Those who were left behind are now getting fast tracked because no one else is left to do mountains of work. Everyone else who isn't director or above is told to work day and night and weekends with directors texting you to log on after dinner and family duties - the catch is that if you actually send an email at 3am (because that's what time you work till every night) then a partner comes and has a 'talk' to you.

Very little tbh. They are all so big that culture is only likely to vary across cities or business units.

But as a whole, the only differences are the colour palettes.

I can definitely say that EYs culture is better than Deloitte and PwC based on experiences shared by people.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice with regards to my next career step. Currently in audit and I have opportunities to go for a Valuations role or an FDD role (both big 4). What are the pros and cons of each? (hours and learning opps, not concerned about salary) Not looking to work long term in both and would likely want to transition into an FP&A role in the future. Hoping to jump directly but require modelling experience.

Hi everyone, I’m in a medium size consulting firm started working since Oct 2021. I’m wondering is it good to jump to industry for my next move or move up in the consulting world to polish my resume better with MBB or Big 4 in my resume… any thoughts? I really don’t know what to do in life so either one works for me, but I’m just lost.

Hey all, I’ve recently joined EY consulting from another Big 4 and have noticed there’s no discipline (at least in my team) around codes and charging time. People either charge a standard 7 hrs or some will charge time spent on internal activities to their client code.

I was told that “the last person to charge their actual hours worked was promptly booted off the project”.
Just wondering:
1) Is this a general cultural point accross all Consulting teams? Will challengin this get me in trouble?
