If you like consulting, you'll like EY (I do not like consulting)

Business Outlook
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)
