I’ve always been an RM for accounting firms but I’d love to get into consulting. Has anyone made the transition?

I don’t think we’re hiring at the moment but at EY I think you would have a great chance of getting hired into the consulting side just because you do have the core skillset of RM. I’ve always worked on the consulting side so I don’t know for sure but I get the impression there’s more variability and uncertainty in the cadence of work won and length of work than on our tax/audit side. It’s not uncommon for consultants to be on more than one project at a time at EY but more common to them to be dedicated to one at a time full time and so bench management is always top of mind.

Thanks so much for that info!
