Thoughts on leaving EY where I have a good WLB for more interesting work & better comp at Deloitte? Definitely going to be less WLB at D but really like the folks I’d be working with..

It’s still early in my career so feeling it makes sense to enter the belly of the beast now so that WLB can only get better when I am ready to exit consulting. Not very challenged in my group at EY and haven’t been able to get in with a team I can stay plugged into bc of exits.

I was in your exact same situation and decided to stay at EY - made manager this year and have time to spend with family. Money is not bad either

Most people I know that work at Deloitte hate it out there but they wouldn’t leave because of the “brand prestige” they will inject in your head. I started my career there and worked there for 7 years and I thought all consulting firms are that bad but now I know that’s not true.

Manager at EY and my WLB is non existent- everything depends on your practice and project, which is also applicable across firms.

I have to add that my spouse works at Deloitte as a Manager, and I can attest that WLB at EY is much better. Granted, all this will vary depending on practice at each firm.

What do you value more? Career progression or wlb? Personally I’d stick with wlb. Grass isn’t always greener. I get if you have other goals though.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad.
