I’m a newly promoted M1 in B4 audit and I’m starting to feel the B4 burnout. Looking to get more information on accounting advisory roles (day to day tasks, hours, salary etc.) to see if this would be a good transition. Any advice or experience would be helpful!

Depending on the advisory practices, you might even feel more burnout

To RSM1’s point, everything about FDD is better than audit IMO, except for the hours and tight deadlines. That part is significantly worse

Expect to never feel comfortable in advisory whereas in audit you can go through the motions on recurring clients. Advisory requires your a game almost all the time

I switched to forensics as a M2, great decision to get out of audit

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.
