Which markets are the healthiest? I've heard about issues in the Southwest and Midwest, but I haven't heard about any problems here in Seattle for any of the firms. Any other cities doing well?

Because winning new clients means new experiences, sometimes new industries that you've wanted exposure to, working with new folks around the office, and developing fresh relationships with a new client. While I agree it doesn't mean increased pay for anyone, new clients mean more light on your market and better chances for early promotions.

West coast is fine...apparently lots of opportunities in assurance from our end. Southeast where I'm at seems fine too.

The southeast hasn't been bad for everyone. It's been bad for Deloitte, KPMG, and EY because all their clients are moving to PwC. Southeast (esp including Florida) is KILLING it for PwC right now for all lines of service.

^ yep - huge incentives for PwC seniors and managers to move to the Florida market.

Not sure that it's because the market is doing well so much as just company's flipping auditors.

How do firms classify Texas? Is it "southwest", "south", "southeast", or just "Texas"? J/w...

I meant healthy markets, in general, PwC7. Not just for EY. The southeast has been bad for everyone, I realize. 👌🏼 cool to hear Denver and most of the West is still doing well. I've been curious about NYC and D.C. Areas tho

There's plenty of work in NYC for EY especially at the senior level. NY has a large job market so it's definitely harder for the big 4 to retain people. Funny since all of EY's big wins in FSO are taking clients from PwC. And big wins = more work for the same pay at best. I never get why people take such pride in winning new clients unless you're the partner seeing a direct financial gain.
