If you like consulting, you'll like EY (I do not like consulting)
Pros: Smart and skilled colleagues
Interesting projects (unless you're on CCAR or AML)
Intelligent staffing in terms of minimizing bench time
Strong industry name recognition
Cons: Felt a deeper understanding of and connection to the client institutions than EY
Horrible work-life balance (typical of consulting)
Little agency over project selection and staffing even at the manager level
Poor employee pay management (learned individuals with less industry experience in a cheaper region, Charlotte, had a higher base salary and better bonus payout than colleagues in NYC)
