Unfortunately, EY and other big 4 are still largely driven by audit services, they are more stable and especially with the slowdown in the economy. There is decent tech work at EY but there is also always the fear that if things slow down they will staff you on an IT audit project. I have seen plenty of very technical and skilled managers be asked to help out on IT audit because no one knows else has the skills. I left EY because I got stuck on an IT audit project even with a cloud cert/experience. I switched to ACN which is good cuz they don’t do any audits.

What did you sign up for? What we’re told you would be working on?

Oof, rip

woof, you got screwed

Yes

Consulting bowl I need your advice tonight. 5 YOE in corp finance (industry). Just got an offer for different finance (still industry) role - 50% raise to $165K TC plus two additional direct reports to me. However, I got my MBA to transition to consulting and am in beginning stages of two top consulting firms. I need to give an answer on the offer by tomorrow afternoon. What do I do? If I expedite the consulting firms processes they may (likely will) say no. Thanks

Curious to know what others feel about living with their parents. I’m 25 making over 140k and give about 1k to my moms retirement account a month and help around the house.

My brother moved out at 28 after he was already making 200+ and had no shame. All my peers make me feel guilty for “mooching” but they all had to move out once they got a job at like 22. Thoughts?
