Hello fishes,
I have a background in finance and 6+ YOE of professional work experience, I had to leave CA in between due to family emergency and started working (although only 1 group of CA final is left, 1 is cleared already), so can anyone provide an insight if being CA qualified is a mandatory requirement in EY and EY GDS in position of Manager in Accounting, auditing,FAAS,AWM teams etc
Would appreciate any insight, as seems HR everywhere just see degree and not the relevant work ex..

It does, but it’s worth it.
I stopped traveling in 2012 to be more focused on the kids, it has slowed my progressing but not eliminated it. If you can accept that you can find terrific balance
varies a lot by the age of your kids, quality of your relationships and support network. Your right it limits growth and sometimes interesting work but you decide where to find the right balance.
I don’t want to travel all the time but never traveling also isn’t the answer. I don’t expect it to balance on a monthly level but over a year it needs to.
It does...my spouse and I work it out, as long as I'm not gone for an unreasonable amount of time, it's ok. And we trade off because their position similarly requires some level of travel. You can't say no too much I've found
The opportunities for growth will still be there. Kids grow so fast! It's ok to say no when something doesn't work for you. It's all about what your priorities are, and it's evident that you care about your family and spending time with them!
I work at Slalom, so travel very infrequently. It's one of the reasons I came to Slalom over Deloitte, that and better WLB more generally.
Sr Principal or Director
It's a matter of talking out the responsibilities with your partner. It won't be a problem once you set out some rules to help each other. It works, try it out.
