Can’t speak to all of them, but from what I’ve seen NOT KPMG. A friend of mine worked in tax there and the work life balance was horrible. Same thing was true when my husband was in consulting there.

Thank you for your insight !

None of the big 4 look into Mercer advisors they are a wealth management group. They only do the wealth management clients tax returns. They are big on work life balance.

Are all Big 4 firms equally tone deaf, or is it just EY? I feel like they don’t address the fact that people are leaving in droves and the ones left behind are burnt out - we continue to have these big growth targets, but fewer and fewer people to actually do the work.

Has anyone found roles in Big 4 or industry that allowed more work life balance when their kids were young without damaging future career trajectory? I'm a partner with young kids and feel like I'm missing out on too much of their lives. Wishful, but my dream job would have a lighter workload in terms of time and pressure for the next ~5 years, but not set me back too much (or at all) when the kids are older and tired of me in a few years and I'm ready to be back at work full force.
