I got a manager offer for EY, GT, and BDO. My husband really wants me to take the EY offer due to its prestige, I am also somewhat tempted due to the learning opportunity it presents. However, I am a sensitive person (I take constructive feedback well as long as I’m not being yelled at or called names) who struggles with anxiety and depression. I’ve tried explaining to my husband that I don’t think the competitive environment would be good for my mental health. I’m not sure what to do - advice ?

Thanks for your perspective EY 1

Having B4 on your resume is good but it's not the end all be all. As someone else who has anxiety and depression and who worked at a B4, working there exacerbated my mental health issues.

Hi Associate 1. Thank you for sharing your opinion, I really appreciate it. I agree, I don’t think B4 would be the best for me. I ended up going with the GT offer. I hope you’re anxiety and depression are also doing ok right now!

Big 4 all the way for the money including in the long term. Know many people from all firms, they either come back to big 4, go to big 4 eventually, and when they do make the switch they realize how much better it is. If I’m working more than 40 hours a week in general I’m making sure I get paid

I’m guessing you haven’t heard of EY nice 😂 I’m also sensitive and do just fine here haha but it’s def very team dependent

First time Dad and my 15 month old keeps running up the stairs at my in-laws place and they keep encouraging it.
