How are the responsibilities of a senior consultant differ from that of a staff consultant at EY? For some context, I received an offer at EY at the senior consultant level, but I was a consultant at Deloitte (before getting laid off due to COVID). Any perspective from EY / Deloitte colleagues would be very helpful. Thanks!

Seniors tend to spend more time handholding the staff and coaching them. Officially, performance management and reviews of said staff are M and SM responsibility.

I think of the difference in assignments I give my staff and seniors as this:

Staff get detailed, bullet point instructions on what I want on slide 4, 6 and 10.

Seniors get a detailed outline of what I want in the entire deck, maybe an example from another client,and told to have fun, call me if you have questions.

Happy to help. Caveat that your experiences may vary - lord knows I had my share of micromanaging managers when I was a senior, but I prefer not to pay that particular legacy forward. In general, an increased level of ownership is expected as you go up the ranks though.

Deloitte has BA for 2 years, consultant for 2 years, then SC after. EY has staff consultant for 2 years then SC. Slightly more responsibility placed on SC at Deloitte than EY given twice the amount of experience is required. Neither is better or worse- you’ll get good oops at both, I just wouldn’t let level be the deciding factor (unless pay is substantially different). I used to be at EY so I got to see both.

SC you may manage someone (the good ones will manage a few), but you won’t be leading teams unless they seriously trust you at EY. When I switched to deloitte I was shocked because I was the engagement manager at M level and supporting other engagements too- that’s usually SM at EY. Leveling is just a bit different.
