Pros vs cons to EY TAS OTS vs EY Advisory PI? (e.g., salary, schedule, complexity/variety of work (i.e., which is more interesting), caliber of coworkers, development opportunities, career timeline?

Go to TAS. None of the things you mentioned matter other than development opportunities. They will be better from TAS. All you have to say is "all I did was M&A work at EY" even if you just made photocopies for the bankers. It will still get you a better job then from PI.

OTS folks work long hours and lots of travel; I've heard there's higher salary but longer track/competition to exec levels. PI Finance has more flexibility, varied work, and development opps. that said you may work on transaction projects while in PI.

OTS is harder work, better pay. I'm PI-ITA but I have been on several OTS projects. I'm old and lazy so I own my lot in life but you might choose differently for yourself. Also, compare the OTS PPED promotions this year to the ITA promotions, then balance for practice size. No contest, OTS killed it and ITA struggled.

What are you looking to do. They are totally different machines

PI finance does a lot of process improvement of finance processes (obviously) but in OTS you are not just restricted to the finance function

OTS hires most MBAs and has the most established MBA recruiting program.

FWIW they haven’t communicated to me position level they’d expect.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
