Type of work - PMO heavy, not a dig here. It legit used to be named the Program Management practice. There's other business effectiveness projects sprinkled here and there. Despite the PMOing, you can genuinely do whatever you want project wise and the partners won't care...as long as you manage to sell it
Comp - SC ranges from 100 to 170, M ranges from 130 to 200. Bonus is a black box, median prob around 5-9%. Not sure about SM
Exit ops - Mostly ops roles, quality of the exit op 100% depends on the caliber of the person and how you spin your experience. Have seen FAANG ops exits, F500 D/SD ops roles, to very low quality PMO roles in industry. Exit quality swings wildly because the practice has a good cluster of strong consultants, and also a massive cluster of people who can do nothing else but PMO
M exit quality is higher in my sample size of around 10 people
If I have to guess your comp given your background, if your MBA is from a target school then you'll be around 160-165, if you're not from a target school then you'll be around 115-130. T2 city.
Consulting isn't a super diverse profession, but I think this practice and EY in general is as diverse as it gets (race/gender). I'm non white and most of the teams I've worked in white folks have been outnumbered by non whites
PMO is one of five capabilities, the others include: portfolio design and adoption (investment optimization), agile, transformation management (strategy and value realization) and program evaluation center (portfolio or program maturity assessment). Have seen several FAANG exits.
WLB is mostly chill (being PMO). All fuzz that gets created is about someone somewhere not getting a status report! LOL
Please understand that being in PMO in this practice (at least) is different from anywhere else. You don't own the delivery, you own reporting of it (i.e. you don't do the work, you report on the work done)
That sounds so funky. I’m trying to understand what that would be like in practice. Clients paying to have EY consultants handle PM reporting with no ties to the delivery? Is that using some legacy UMT software or something?
Send me a DM
I’m a part of that practice feel free to ask away
Thanks, SC1. What is the typical PMO project type and structure? Any thoughts around WLB?
Part of this practice. Agree to EY2, M2.
Adding to M2, there is like 75% of PMO work and 25% everything else (based on 2019/2020 revenue)
We also do product management work at TD&E West but limited to M&E clients at the moment. If you were able to join such engagements, exit ops can include product manager, product ops and other biz-ops roles with tech companies
Specific to client’s tech
I also know of MBB exits
extremely rare
Currently in the practice about to exit to tech. Practice is solid but I wish there was more focus on growing in certain areas (Consumer products, media etc)
In the East focus is mainly lifesciences and some financial and power and utilities (from what I have seen)
I'm exiting to a PgM manager role in tech
Thanks for all of the responses. Any thoughts about WLB in the practice?
Depends on your goals. People who rise up tend to put in more hours. You can coast as well and sign off at 5:30pm everyday if you're content, a lot of people in the practice are like that
The non-PMO capabilities (portfolio design and adoption, etc) sound interesting to me. How can I position myself to focus on those capabilities if applying to a Senior a consultant role in the NE?
TD&E practice, at least.
