They’re all the same. Pick the people you vibed with the most. That’ll increase the likelihood that you enjoy your experience with the firm.

They are both amazing places to start your career at, with EY having the edge in the brand name compared to kpmg. Overall your experience at either will come down to your team and what you make of it

Sounds like the commercial bank isn’t a great place to work. PwC isn’t wrong, but on the flip side, let’s not forget that there are some companies that prefer working with KPMG over the other 3.
You should want to work with people who want to work with you, and not at a place where you were considered the next best option.

I also saw tons of people at EY get promoted to senior after 1.5 years lol

Each of the Big 4 are only marginally different. In terms of size and “brand” EY is probably a little more respected in corporate America. However, my observation from people I know at both and what I’ve seen on this app (granted it will obviously range from office to office):

-KPMG compensates better
-KPMG tends toward better WLB
-KPMG tends to have a better culture/cooler people overall who actually have social lives in and outside of work

Whereas:
-EY has awful technology
-EY has poor leadership
-EY is more likely to understaff and underpay
-EY has a very “dry” and robotic culture

EY culture is great, but the other 3 points are 💯
You'll likely enjoy your time in PA more if you go to KPMG

I worked at Both. KPMG has better PTO & Sabbatical policy and has better insurance and HSA contribution. But EY has more diverse and inclusive environment.

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
