After almost 30 years in tech and software sales I joined EY. There is no such thing as WLB. Nobody dares say anything about it and people work late into the evening every day and on the weekends. Even Fridays, WTF? Big adjustment for me. Glad I had the flexible WLB when my kids were young. Just not possible in consulting.

TSE is the best WLB. Basically working way less than the other groups

Candidly, WLB does not exist at EYP. If you want more balance, stay out of strategy / m&a consulting.

Unpopular take: You can get good WLB if you aim to meet expectations and don’t do firm initiatives. Will get passed up for promos but if you do decent work no one can throw you out of their project. Just don’t expect huge bonuses and promos and you’ll be fine.

I second this^. I got promoted with zero initiatives and other nonsense. Just did client work and more importantly- found an SD who personally needs a lot of WLB and respects their team in that aspect.

I had good WLB in accounting advisory at EY, but obviously not EYP

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
