Someone messaged me about their Private Client Services group at a Big 4 firm. It sounds like consulting and I was hoping someone might have insights into what the job would look like. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It’s the same as core just smaller clients and more admin. Less consulting opportunities

Disagree on fewer consulting opps. I’m in the private tax group and I’ve done more consulting than I did in the core group.

At EY, that group handles income tax, estate tax, gift tax, tax planning, etc, for high net worth individuals.

It was. Now it’s called private tax which covers private entities as well.

So I've been working at my company for 8 months now as a business analyst. Both senior consultants on my project are leaving, with no replacements in sight, so the project work is most likely going to fall to me. I am already doing most of the work of a full fledged consultant as defined by the companies description. I'm only getting paid 55k a year which I'm being told by other employees is below industry standard (they take around 70% of my billable rate) and I'm feeling kind of stuck. Advise?

I recently realized that I don’t care to have a prestigious consulting job, I care to have a job to feed myself and allow me to dedicate time to other entrepreneurial ventures/investments. I think it’d be a job that will keep stress to a minimum (or very rarely), pay a healthy amount (e.g. 80 - 90 for 2 YOE in a MCOL), and consistently work a firm 40 hours or less, has relatively easy work, and fully remote. can only think of an internal auditor/contractor role.

Any suggestions?
