I joined EY as a Manager 2 months ago and new to consulting. Leading a project in a new area with 2-3 streams, with no seasoned folks in team. Within weeks they started asking me to own other initiatives saying only project work is not enough. I am still learning about EY, consulting, and work streams in my project while virtually WFH. Not to mention multiple calls/meetings, trainings and other initial tasks.

Not sure if this is the general scenario in consulting/EY. Any tips would be helpful.

You are analyst and given manager position? Why did you take it

YOE and CTC? I am currently negotiating.

They tend to pile up bricks on your head. Your project should be your priority one, rest all comes later. So say no to all the plus one work you are getting. BTW what's your YOE and CTC?

Hello all, for those working in an agency. I wanted to see what your typical client workload is? I’ve been in my role for about a year but the workload has changed dramatically without hiring help.

Can you please share:
- the number of accounts you manage
- how many support staff you have on those accounts
- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!
