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

Need some advice. My friend’s company is forcing them to work in the office while wearing a face mask for 9 hours a day. This has caused my friend to get migraines and experience physical pain above their nose, because they can't breathe.My friend needs the job but I’m worried for them. Is there anything they can do in their situation (besides quit)? They’ve already asked if they can work from home but their boss is unwavering and expects everyone to work from the office, even during a pandemic.

Discussion post: I feel almost all consulting firms are the same. Mbb, big 4 etc. if you are paid enough there is probably less wlb. If there is good wlb there is not much money. Can you single out a company that you can confidently say pays very well and also has good wlb and also has good opportunities etc.?
