Senior 1 at EY and have been talking to PWC recruiters, they’re saying I would possibly have to bump down to an Associate 3 due to tenure, any one have any experience with this?

Don’t think it’s worth it. You gotta go through the promotion again. I’d talk to other firms and probably put pressure on PWC.

Definitely don’t do that, you shouldn’t go down in title when making a lateral move. Came over from EY as well

like

Start talking to Accenture, Deloitte, etc. and let recruiters know that you are doing that. Hint to them that other firms are willing to take you in as senior and you are not willing to step down. Have a friend who switched from Accenture to EY. Same thing happened to her and she said she wouldn’t step down. EY finally gave her the senior title.

Understand that, but I’m not really trying to go down in pay and rank due to a three year rule

Not sure if it’s true but they probably have wider pay bands at the associate level

Many people at D also get SC after 3 years (at least in fed)

EY1, don't think that's normal on the commercial side

Ey1 Deloitte is analyst 2 years, consultant 2 years.. so you'd typically need 4 years to make senior consultant. Very few make SC in 3 years.

I meant D advisory not DC

Second what PwC 2 said

P1 and P2. Thanks. I think I may take EY2s advice, but if nothing else I push back and let them know expectations

EY1, Advisory is not the same as Consulting at Deloitte. Their Consulting practice is the equivalent of what the other Big Four call Advisory.
Deloitte's Advisory practice is basically their risk-focused practice
