Hi All,
I am joining EY GDS next month. I have heard a lot about hectic work hours in EY and no work life balance. Is it true? If yes, how many hrs working should we expect in a day to be mentally prepared.

Any thoughts on EYP Zurich? How is the culture, work-life balance and salary for Senior Manager position? Thanks!

Best to Worst in terms of work-life balance: Tech Trans, M&A or Capital Markets? (California if that makes a difference)

Hi guys how's work life balance in EY India in technology line? What is the average working hours during normal times and peak season? I would be really glad if someone can help me with this! Thanks!

A lot of people here seem to glamorize MANGA positions - good pay, and good WLB. There has to be a catch, right?

How is everyone’s workload? I was insanely busy the last month but the past week or so has slowed significantly.

Currently have Series 24, 7, 63,65

Currently work in a very unique Wealth Management ops role.

Getting paid 85k base with 40k in bonus plus about 35k~ in OT.

Money isn’t everything but in my late 20s it feels like the only thing important right now.

WLB is next to zero as 60hr weeks are the minimum as of late. Management feels like they are trying to push a few of us out. Was told not to expect much come year end for comp. Any suggestions on finding a new role/pay expectations?

How can anyone act like they’re happy working Saturday’s during busy season? My buds are snowboarding, my girlfriend is complaining that I work too much and I’m missing the playoffs. Times like these make me question why I stay.

Please suggest in terms of learning, job security and work life balance which organisation to go for in the current time from the below offers...
Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions.

Zensar (20 fixed+ 1 joining bonus)

Accolite digital (PKG not confirmed, estimated 24 fix + 1 joining bonus)

Favorite office chair?

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?

Anyone got onboarding email for joining on 10th Oct? The email stated that joining will be conducted from base location which is bangalore. Can anyone confirm if we can attend initial joining virtually as currently i am in Kolkata and also my recruiter is on Leave till Thursday.. Thanks

I am writing this message besides the staff group of EY GDS. Specifically Staff -1 at assurance level. I would request everyone to spare few minutes and read it -

Wanted to bring out that staff-1's are paid peanuts (3.33L CTC) please don't expect them to slog 12-13 hours. They don't have enough motivation or incentives to work that long. Seniors,AM's and Managers should be more kind and explain the work to them clearly rather than making last minute changes.

Hi folks, my base location as per EY GDS offer letter is Noida but I want it to be Gurgaon as my hometown is in Jaipur and Gurgaon is more convenient for me.. I sent email to my senior manager and got response that you can use flexibility and work in any Gds office in India. However, I feel that in case my base location is not being changed, I should shift to Noida rather than Gurgaon as there might be any formalities or facilities which we need to avail in our base location only.. Any thoughts?
