is it hard switching from EY FSO Audit to Core?

Depends on years of experience - staff 1/2, probably ok but you may ride the struggle bus for a bit.

One of my friends is EY for life, only FSO experience with consistent 5 ratings —> transferred to FAAS and really struggling because (s)he doesn’t have core audit / GAAP technical expertise.

IMO: if you ever want to escape PA and don’t want to roll into fund admin, get some core experience.

Anyone have insight on Business Transformation, Digital Strategy Practice in FSO?

I got the impression this was a small but fast growing team on the west coast, and the work sounds like a combination of product, agile delivery, and roadmap dev. But, as an outsider to the firm, I’d be curious for EY-ers’ thoughts/perceptions on the practice. Is it generally well regarded? How is the practice leadership & culture? Is it truly a hot/growing market like my interviewers have portrayed it as?
