^ exactly accurate. Busy season for us is less hours, but half the year. No core team realizes you are working for other clients as well.
Depends on your client and market. Risk is 50 hours mandatory from Sept - Feb. it’s awful. You might be on a small budget the core team gives you (ie 500 hours but it’s more like 550-570 hours) so you end up eating time to not piss them off. And working more like 60-70 hours. And you’re most likely on 2-4 clients at one time. Managing all of those and keeping up with client deadlines and responses is hard. Every core team thinks they own you. They ask for additional testing (even though you are on a smaller budget from prior year and expect you to make it work). Also, I feel like core has more benefits as a “team” feel. In core I understand you are one client at a time so if the team decides to work from home for a day or leave early that’s awesome. Where as if you are Risk, if you wanted to work from home for a day of “flex” you’d have to coordinate that day between 2-4 different teams. If you are on those different teams no one will want to make that work for the day or week they are supposed to have “your time” as you might not get as much done or you need to be on that client site. Additionally, I feel awkward leaving the client site early or working from home for my “flex day” in case the partner or SM need to talk with me. It’s not worth my effort to communicate my flex day across 4 different core teams and my own risks teams. But if the core team decides to take the flex day, we won’t know and we go to the site without them being there.
Risk gets paid a little bit more.
@ EY2, I focus heavily on FAIT work because of my split between both teams (it just makes sense, and both teams really do benefit from having someone across both ends of the audit). A lot of my team does do SOC and IA work though.
I think the salary difference is probably about 10% at the senior level.
