Hi fellows,

I am currently an 3rd year undergrad who just received offer for Audit graduate scheme from both EY and PwC. I would like to know your opinion & advice on which on should I go forward.

I am planning to exit into consulting (best scenario would be MBB, otherwise still in BIG 4) after the program. Im wondering whether the split of EY could put it's at a disadvantage in comparison with PwC?

All big 4 are the same, maybe with a slight exception for KPMG. Try and target MBB asap otherwise you’ll forever be leached in at big 4

Ex EY London Audit here. I’d suggest PwC. EY London is good on culture behaviourally but when you really want something done, there’s a lot of red tape and bureaucracy.

To get a day off for my CFA exam in busy season I was told I can’t because it’s not a required exam - like wtf!? Just one f*cking day. Then changing teams or sectors is next to impossible. After i qualified I tried moving internally and no one helped or cared. Tried a secondment to FDD and they said that if you have time, other audit teams need it (and they always do). I got fed up and finally quit and moved service lines in a non-Big4 firm in Corporate Finance.

Not saying PwC will be miles away but from hear-say I think it’s definitely a bit more nicer.
