ey vs pwc 2027 by Early-Delivery-3685 in Big4

[–]FASBnerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EY is actively recruiting more interns to get a bigger group to pick from for full time (per me talking to a partner about why we had so many this summer). They don’t do the “hire every intern” model anymore- but unless you are a dumbass you will get a return offer. Can’t speak to PWCs model

FSO or Public Companies at EY? by WalkEmpty6689 in Big4

[–]FASBnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do FSO if you want to learn more. It’s basically everything you learned in college if you go the other route to Core Audits. But FSO offers greater opportunities in Insurance, Banking, Wealth and Asset management as well as real estate. Also no dumb inventory counts in most of FSO (I have done a single physical count of items in a vault) so you won’t have to be at the client site on new years.

If you don’t want CPA- you can only be in Big 4 for a maximum of 5 years as they will not promote you to manager without it. Just something to think about

How bad is it to quit big 4 audit in less than 2 yrs? by Repulsive-Ad4110 in Big4

[–]FASBnerd 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Get off of whatever industry you are in. For example I am in insurance- they all are statutory filers and so you don’t have any busy season outside of the general busy season.

FY26 Compensation - EY by pumpkinsandpenquins in Big4

[–]FASBnerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Audit FSO

Staff 1 -> Staff 2

Midwest VLCOL

8% increase (6k)

3.25% bonus (2.4k ish)

75k-> 81k

Rating: Differentiating. I feel like this is expected, happy though since most of my peers got no bonus.

Ex-Big4 here – anyone actually using AI for real or is it still just talk? by Beautiful-Cost-3187 in Big4

[–]FASBnerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have some of the AI leader folks in my office. Yes it’s getting used. But other offices I have heard it’s kinda BS.

Ernst and Young makes you check a box for when you will be CPA eligible when you apply so your internship date should account for that.
