Hi everyone! I received an offer from PwC and EY. I’ll be at the NY location, salary is the same, audit. I’m having a hard time deciding between them. If you were in my position, which firm would you choose?

This is true

PwC because you can work remote!

like

@ey10 I think the idea that someone can be fully remote is service line dependent. I’m in GCR in the West and in the 4 years prior to COVID, I think I was able to WFH less than 10 days a year (usually cuz I said I wasn’t feeling well). Counseling families said you needed to be in the office and/or client site. Since mid March of last year I have yet to step foot inside an EY office again, but I’ve already had partners tell me about the importance of coming into the office/client site once things are back to normal and “those that choose to stay remote (because they don’t feel comfortable) or choose not to come in often will get left behind.” I don’t want to come in, but staff and seniors need guidance and I think the quality of the work has taken a nosedive since we are short staffed and there isn’t as much time to reach. I think the ability to work remote sometimes is a good choice to have, but I don’t think full time remote is viable in most service lines

I would go with the interviewers who gave you the best vibe. Your team is key to making your experience positive.

Your day to day is really going to matter more based on the specific team you're on. Then higher level stuff will be a company consideration.

I would typically suggest to pick based on who you felt most comfortable with in the interviews. Unfortunately, the people that interview you are not always the people who you will be working for so it’s really hard to say.

Congrats OP!

I used to work at CR before coming to Deloitte and it’s been a great experience so far 😀

I would pick PwC because they have better audit tech and don’t have unlimited PTO but like others said it’s more or less the same

If you provide the service line, rank, and office, I’m sure plenty of people will respond with honest feedback. Just watch out for the obvious Homer-like responses (like that PWC post yesterday). Crack is a hell of a drug

I got offers from both. I chose EY. And I’m NY as well. Can’t beat a 4-5 minute walk to office from Penn station. But I mainly work remote anyways lol. But I guess listen to the Deloitte guys advice. Go with who you felt you had best connection with. But honestly you’ll end up on a different team so doesn’t even matter .

Lol, having to get off at penn station is not a perk

likefunny

Pick PwC. I left EY recently and don’t regret my decision.

EY has the most strict independence rules from all Big 4, if you have any securities which are restricted you must sell them before the start day.

HR is not valued at the company and it’s disheartening to know I was hired into a mess. I am now actively looking but how do I explain to other employers why I am actively looking and what do I put on my resume? I have never had to deal with this before.
