Just got an interview with EY Consulting (Not EYP) as a Financial Services Risk Management Senior Consultant. Wanted to know if anyone had any insights on any of the following:

Behavioral Interview
Salary
Culture
Or anything worth mentioning

I’ll provide some top line insights. Financial services (FSO) is a separate silo from other parts of the org (for some reason) so take this as directional only.

FSO salaries are slightly better than Non-FSO salaries. Others can provide more detailed info but I would expect maybe 130ish in comp. or at least in that ballpark.

FSO can be slightly more intense than the larger Business Transformation group that I am in (have a friend trying to change practice for that reason). But that’s all relative and my sense is that EY is generally a good place to work relative to other Big 4 firms, due to its culture. Having seen D and KPMG I think it’s just a less toxic environment.

Behavioral interview shouldn’t be particularly difficult. Standard generic questions about working on a team, delivering impact, correcting mistakes, etc. and they’ll want to be sure you understand the job you’re applying for and that your background is qualified for it.

C1 nobody understands why they are grouped differently, but EY does a ton of FSO type business so it might just be a matter of volume/scale.

I have no visibility into subservice lines within FSO. Sorry

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
