Hi Everyone, I am in the process of being interviewed at EY for senior staff accountant role at one of the assurance COE and on the other hand I have an offer for Senior Internal Auditor at a Public University. In terms of payscale I am not expecting a huge difference. Any suggestions on work culture in a small vs big team, growth potential, work life balance or any other deciding factor which can help me make a clear choice ?

WLB at EY was non-existent for me but each team is different. EY will have rapid growth opportunities, so if you want to grow and you’re OK with potentially losing WLB for a few years, EY is the way to go.

Questions I’d ask is what the average hours per week are, if there’s a busy season and what those hours look like. That will give you a good idea of what the hours will be like, as long as they’re honest.

Take the university job. U work there 10 years it'll pay for your student loans. Also wlb will be better. But... be prepared to get mandatory vaccines. Idk myself but some of my cousins are crunchy and work at a uni and were mad about it.

Then, he’ll come home and say I should visit my friend in San Diego soon. Am I paranoid or is he really listening? I feel violated and exposed. He doesn’t have a tech background.
