How is the Tech Risk FSO team at EY? Are the people nice or super competitive/cut throat? Or is it a mix? Also what are the hours like during busy season? I got an offer from them but are very concerned it won’t be a good cultural fit - I struggle with anxiety/depression and are worried Big 4 would be terrible for it.

I developed really severe depression while I worked in Tech Risk at EY and had to take a medical leave of absence to address it. I would not recommend working in Tech Risk - leaving and getting another job was the best decision of my life

Ok thanks for your perspective. I know big 4 is a great experience and the experiences can vary a lot team to team. Appreciate your perspective. I am glad that you were able to make the right decision for yourself. Health which includes mental health is really the most important thing

Some of them are incredibly friendly and supportive. I did not feel any pressure from anyone to be cut-throat or competitive, rather it was a collaborative environment. During busy season, the hours can be long, but you can manage your own schedule to make sure you are taking care of your mental health.

Thank you for your perspective

I won't say it's super cutthroat in terms of professional firms/client serving, but tbh not sure if any jobs are really compatible with depression. Good luck

Well thanks for your perspective

Which office or at least section of the country? Some of the FSO tech risk offices are great others less so based on the ppmd in that area.

That was my concern but I took the job and I’m one month in. I get anxious everyday that I’m doing everything wrong. I like the Pay though

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

I just screamed at my dad and walked out of our home.

This morning I was trying to get feedback from him on a business idea and his response was: Maybe you should focus on your career since you didn’t get a job in finance and had to settle for consulting, and you work at Deloitte... it’s a sweatshop. They didn’t even give you a fast track promotion did they?

This is a regular thing and it’s the fucking weekend. I could use a break.
