So I have an offer from both EY for Tech Consulting - Cybersecurity and Booz Allen Hamilton for Commercial Cyber Consultant.

While EY pays about 12k more, I’m concerned about my WLB. Booz Allen Hamilton seems great, but the slightly lower pay and smaller commercial practice makes me slightly concerned for my future career opportunities if I decide to leave.

Not sure what to pick and I’d love to hear how your experience has been in the cyber practice at Booz Allen Hamilton & EY

I’m at EY in our Tech Consulting (Tech Solutions Delivery) and WLB is not bad. I work 9-10 hours a day as a Senior, which is where I think I should be. A lot is obviously going to depend on your specific engagement and leadership, but if you set reasonable boundaries, you’ll be ok at EY. In my mind, it also looks better on your resume than Booz would.

Ask Booz if they'll match. I'd go with them if they do (decent chance they will), otherwise take the EY offer. Booz cyber commercial is an excellent place to be, far better than EY, but not worth 12k at the beginning of your career.

I agree with BAH1, Booz commercial practice is run differently than federal. Probably on par with same wlb as EY

Go EY

Go Booz

Go Booz. You make up that 12k from better bonus and free stock investment.

Did you specifically ask for the Cyber track for Tech Consulting at EY?

I am also evaluating an offer from EY

I did GIT 1, my background is in CS/Business so I was aiming for a cyber strategy position

This was a long time ago, but I had a great experience with BAH in Chicago-people and experience.

I'm not sure about EY but I hear great things about Booz allen. Everyone I know there loves it. Like above said you can ask them to match!
