Hello fishes,
I have a background in finance and 6+ YOE of professional work experience, I had to leave CA in between due to family emergency and started working (although only 1 group of CA final is left, 1 is cleared already), so can anyone provide an insight if being CA qualified is a mandatory requirement in EY and EY GDS in position of Manager in Accounting, auditing,FAAS,AWM teams etc
Would appreciate any insight, as seems HR everywhere just see degree and not the relevant work ex..

Anyone have any insights into salary, WLB, and general day to day work within Capital Projects consulting (also know as capital programmes / major projects) in the UK? Specifically for Senior Associate / Senior Consultant level, but also more generally.

Absolutely try to improve your work. Chances are you will experience the same reviews at another firm if you don’t actually correct/address your faults (presuming this review was fair). As you improve your work, your reputation will improve.
I would try to improve performance so I could leave in good standing
On my second review I got a terrible evaluation (kicked of project etc). Average in my first review. I was thinking about leaving but out of luck got put on a great project with a manager who actually taught me how to do things. Now been a top performer consistently and early promote.
Point is - if it’s your first or second review, you know nothing so it’s your seniors job to teach you. Assuming your review wasn’t lazy or unwilling to learn but “they’re incompetent / shit”. Then to me that’s more on them than you, stick it out and build yourself up
Pro
The review wasn’t fair in a way but in other ways it was. I was basically put on an impossible project in an impossible spot, so I feel anyone would have performed poorly, but at the same time, the review was fair in that the project couldn’t be done well. Now I’m on a better project though, so I’m going to try to stick it out
Hey I had a really similar experience this cycle. Not fun at all. Good luck with your next cycle!

What else might you do in this situation if I didn’t mention it as one of the options in the initial post?
Edit: also note, this wasn’t a review for just a 1 month project, it was a mid-year review couple months ago.
I would take the reviewer’s word on the impact of the review for your standing in the firm. If they say you’re not going to get fired over this then it’s worth improving your performance so the next cycle isn’t a bad review and a termination.
The real questions are ‘can you do the job?’ and ‘is this job right for you?’
