I’m starting preliminary interviews for a position as Government & Public Sector - Finance Analyst at EY in the San Antonio Office.

Can anyone give insight into the hours, compensation, skills. I want to get an overall idea of the pros and cons of this job and what a typical work week in terms of hours looks like.

I would be relocating to San Antonio so I would like to have time to explore the city but am worried that work life balance may become an issue (being that it is a consulting role)

I work in GPS and can tell you our sector is booming and we are looking for assurance people. But, the busy season is October-November and it's brutal. Also, you'll have to get a security clearance and you may get pigeon-holed. But, if federal accounting interests you, go for it. Also, our comp is somewhat better since we are specialized and have clearances which are not cheap to get (anywhere from 5-20k per person per clearance depending on level)

Anyone who understands the market willing to share their take?

Thanks!

I joined EY in January. Had no work all of January, but was busy for February and some of March. I have been unassigned for about 4 weeks now, sending availability emails to all of the service lines we are allowed to reach out to for work. I should not have come here 🤦🏼‍♂️ I know it’s nice to have some down-time, but when every day is staring at a computer, the days are SO long.
