How is work life balance at EY cybersecurity consulting? This question is coming from a person who never worked in consulting but has been always on the engineering and architecture side of technology. I have received an offer and salary offered is really good. Can someone please help in answering what the culture is like? Work life balance? Average PBB at senior? Is it worth it move for like 20% increase from your traditional 9-5 corporate environment?

Depends on your goals. If it’s to work on bigger projects and gain experience doing something different than what you’ve been doing then yes. Most likely you’ll be doing less hands on technical work than you’re used to. On the flip side you may gain more exposure to strategy and type gigs and working with some really smart peeps. This could lead you to a much higher salary in 1-3 years. Consulting is what you make of it. Don’t get into it for the money or you might hate it.

Go into it assuming 50-60 hr weeks and most likely 80% travel (if things ever get back to normal). Then just be pleasantly surprised if you don’t.

Personally, I really enjoy consulting. I like the autonomy, learning different things and working with a bunch of different clients and their environments.

Very helpful. Thanks for your reply!!

Yeah if they like 9-5 then it would be a risk joining. I’m almost always working past 6pm but are done pretty early on Fridays. It also depends on team/service line/engagement and client

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
