I’m starting consulting as a senior working in a FSO team for EY - really nervous about the work. What does the day to day look like for a senior? What should I expect in my first month ?

Ah fresh meat, welcome to hell!

Jokes aside, first month should be trainings and meeting your counselor and partner and few others from the leadership on the team. Be proactive and reach out to them. They might already have you aligned to a project. If not, you can meet partners and SMs and inquire about prospective roles. Day to day would depend on the type of client and role but typically a specific deliverable will be assigned to you with manager oversight.

Welcome and all the best👍

Should've asked during your interview

No worries, interview day I did ask but received a vague response.

What’s your background, YOE, comp offered and city?
