Is leaving a place like EY for something like Accenture just more of the same? How, if at all, would these places feel substantially different?

Accenture is a better brand. Better exit opportunities long term.

I thought Ey was better too or figure it’s likely more role dependent . Curious on the rationale

Public Vs private would be the most observable difference here. Public companies have accountability to the public markets and can make decisions quite rapidly to meet quarterly earnings targets, which can include layoffs. Brands are pretty much equal and I imagine pay is similar as well in the aggregate.

Safe to say style of work, sense of urgency, sales, etc— that’s all consulting life and won’t vary much between firms, right?

Pay is prob a lot more at Accenture I would assume

When we spin it will be the same

Likely not immediately, that will take time and a mindset shift. EY has historically paid under market rate outside of Parthenon.

Rationalization of EYP vs EY consulting to ensure they aren’t having overlap is also something they will need to do before completing the spin.

They will also need commitment around training and learning.

I’m currently in PA working in tax compliance (PE/Hedge) and considering my options. When I spoke with a recruiter seems like there is not a lot of “interesting” tax opportunities in industry that really stuck out to me. They mentioned potential opportunities for a PE controller role. Has anyone ever tried this? It would be a smaller shop so imagine I’d be doing everything if I was considered. Would I be setting myself up for failure?
