Just saw a senior got Platinum on EY Badges, does that mean this senior is already a leader within and across the services line? Or EY Badges is a joke?

I was actually hoping that it would be like the Boy Scout merit badges that I could sew on my shirt.

I have never read a single email or other internal communication about badges nor has anyone in Tax leadership asked me how I’m progressing on badges. Not even sure what they are for, how they are earned, what (if any) importance they have. It has not come up in any counselor connect discussions either

@EY 1 how much of experiences a senior can get? There is no transparency on these exceptions.

Why is that a big deal? Means that they travel a lot for clients and utilized often?

That badge requires significant experience to be signed off on. Is he / she a subject matter expert?

OP, some seniors in advisory have significant experience if they’re in a technical role. That’s why some seniors make more than some managers in other LoS.

Senior is a broad range. Could be Senior 3 up for promotion to manager this year. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I know SMRs with law degrees that are seniors

EY badges is a new program that basically lets people get some kind of recognition for building certain skills. You complete courses and trainings and can get sign offs from higher ups.

It's basically an internal certification

Only people in Advisory care about this nonsense.

The badges are mostly related to technology skills. Robotics, AI, that sort of thing. I considered trying for them and after reading the materials and requirements (I'm an ED in tax), I realized I would need to go back and get a computer science degree to have any chance at this. As someone mentioned above, this sounds like an Advisory thing not a Tax/Assurance thing. BTW, is it morning already? Wow. Another day finally over. :-)
