I'm a Staff 2 and just received 5 rating and I'm being promoted to senior. Unfortunately, I don't enjoy my practice and want to move to some kind of advisory role. How do I navigate a switch?

Switching firms is the easiest way to switch practices

I switched out of audit from EY to another big four into their TAS practice recently. It was quite easy actually as I was familiar with the work done and had somewhat relevant experience in my jobs within audit as there was several engagements with M&A activity that I covered areas on. Try contacting a recruiter from another big four or apply online

Look on the careers page on the EY website and look to see if any senior positions are available in city/service line you are interested in. From there, network with anyone you can and find the right person in that service lines talent department. If they are interested it should be an easy process, especially with a 5. Good luck!

If that doesn't work out, switch to another big four firm like I did to get what you want

@EY1 thanks for the insight! @EY2, do you really think switching to another big 4 would allow me to switch practices? Seems unlikely, but if you disagree, how would you go about facilitating that?

Anyone else feel like that if they aren’t doing the work themselves then it’s never done correctly? Doesn’t matter what it is - admin to client work - always materially incorrect. Also, doesn’t matter what training I give them - a quick overview or an in-depth working session. And then the Partners ask why I’m exhausted all the time.
