"Audit on steroids"

More like audit light. EY has a pretty strong team and the office is doing some interesting work with embedding analytics / data visualization skills on the rank and file team. Can’t speak for to the others

Are you part of the EY TAS team?

Yes

Is TAS support the same as just a TAS senior staff, i was looking at the job listing

"Audit on comforter memory foam pillows"

Also what are average hours looking like over there?

Transaction Support is one of the names we use for our financial diligence service line. Hours are variable - I average 45ish but that includes dead weeks and 70 hour sprints

Is travel a lot of flying places and then remaining time in office? what service line are you?

I’m in transaction support. The average project is 2-4 weeks - figure you’ll spend one of this weeks wherever the target is meeting with management and reading audit workpapers, rest of the time you’re in the office

That’s not bad at all. I am considering applying to the position - if you’d be open for more private questions, you could get the referral if I end up applying.
