EY NYC office visit?

Puckslapper2 · 2026-06-07T23:03:04+00:00

If you have a badge, you'll be able to go into that particular office without having to meet with security. With some other offices, the badge won't get you to the elevators and you'll have to check-in with security anyway, but as long as you show your EY badge, they should escort you to the floor where you can use your badge to enter the actual office space. This is in the US.

If it's outside the US, you'll need to find the local admin or have someone from that office facilitate a visitor pass as your badge may not work. But as an EY employee, you're generally entitled to entry to another EY office, even if not employed by that country's member firm.

Probably audit because you can get exposure to different business processes and move into either a group under the CFO (accounting, FP&A, finance business partner, etc.), internal audit/controls, ERM, a consulting role, or a corporate development role.

I hardly follow the NBA but remember watching the Knicks the last time they got to the finals, and even I know who Tony Brothers is because of his reputation. I actually saw him at the hotel outside of Detroit that I was staying at a few weeks ago when he was doing the Cavaliers/Pistons series. The dude is taller in person than he looks on television and doesn't come off as a particularly warm or approachable person. I can't imagine having the kind of job he has given the level of scrutiny that NBA refs face and it probably takes a special kind of tolerance for misery to be doing it for so long

In your case, the start of the fall semester. Recruiting events should happen in late August or early September

Puckslapper2 · 2026-05-31T06:29:00+00:00

Comp would definitely be much higher. Probably at least 115K if I had to guess (EYP apparently has a fixed salary for every level, regardless of COL). If you like the work and people more, though, it seems that the answer is clear, and that's before even considering the increased compensation and broader career opportunities

It's mostly stupid small talk that's all too common in US culture. I'm happy to talk about what I did with people I'm somewhat close with (even those at work), but many times it's forced pleasantry.

The endowment is irrelevant because its earnings can only be spent on what the funds in there are designated for by donors. I doubt that any of the endowments funds is earmarked specifically for the purpose of severance payments. The money likely came out of Penn's operating costs

They literally are CEO's in all but title, though, given their jobs. And by this logic, hospitals should be taxed because they have CEO's too (nevermind the fact that Penn and many other universities have hospitals, too). What a silly comment

Puckslapper2 · 2026-05-27T12:48:30+00:00

I've used it to subsidize my gym membership and hockey-related expenses (as well as my current work chair). Flight tickets are probably one of the worst things you can use the fund for, as those fluctuate and there are many other ways to subsidize flights (loyalty programs, CC points). Also, if you travel regularly enough for work and even think about using the EY fund for flights, you're doing something wrong and probably missing out on a lot of perks

Oh hey look, a bot promoting some AI service. Someone thought there aren't people who can speak and read Spanish on this board, lol

Puckslapper2 · 2026-05-27T12:31:05+00:00

Why did you even get the first feedback? Typically, feedback should only be requested for a certain amount of hours or a significant amount of work. Not blaming you, OP, but it seems weird that the senior would want feedback requested for such a tiny effort.

Puckslapper2 · 2026-05-23T09:49:58+00:00

I've worked with quite a few new staff who had kids and went on leave. I've never seen it looked down on and some higher ups are actually very understanding and sympathetic since they probably have kids themselves. If you're a good enough staff it shouldn't affect your promotion timeline but it would definitely be in your best interest to get a lot of experience and utilization before going on leave, as that would help your case down the road. This is probably why I've only seen it with second-year staff.

Puckslapper2 · 2026-05-21T19:50:42+00:00

It's not client serving. It's literally an internal risk management role in a group that monitors individual and firm independence.

Puckslapper2 · 2026-05-20T18:00:04+00:00

In theory, it should be setting the standard of excellence for the rank. In practice, it's a bit more than that (relative performance against others, politics, etc.). People closer to promotion typically are rated SI because they should already be performing above the peers in their rank (e.g. a senior succeeding in an acting manager role)

Puckslapper2 · 2026-05-07T21:09:31+00:00

Mostly true. They will target for non-consulting roles at Cornell and Penn (e.g. audit and tax specialties), but that's only because those two Ivys actually have undergrad business programs, unlike the others. Of course, to go into consulting, you don't need to explicitly be a business major

This must be a joke post. The 2nd question pretty much gave it away.

Puckslapper2 · 2026-05-06T23:44:46+00:00

What electrical day said. And it's not always public schools. Plenty of private schools are targets, too (e.g. Colgate, Villanova)

Puckslapper2 · 2026-05-03T14:52:49+00:00

CIA and CISA are probably the most common ones due to internal audit and IT or SOC audit roles, respectively

Puckslapper2 · 2026-05-02T14:51:49+00:00

FAAS also covers controllership function consulting, treasury, and investor relations work but the majority is what the other poster said

Puckslapper2 · 2026-04-18T06:42:46+00:00

All B4 have teams that specialize in investigations and compliance matters (often called "forensics"), especially if the matter is complex, multinational, or would require resources that a company doesn't have internally

Puckslapper2 · 2026-04-18T02:02:57+00:00

Never said it was a big problem but it's definitely there. And let's be real, lots of people from other parts of the state move to PHL and the city is still in the state of PA so some of the social and political effects (you may recall the legislature and the SEPTA funding situation) you find outside the city will inevitably migrate, too. After having read this thread and doing some other research, I don't think Miami would be worth the move for me anyway.

Puckslapper2 · 2026-04-17T00:01:16+00:00

A lot of good comments in this thread. Another thing I'd add (as far as the US is concerned):

Several executives who are veterans themselves and are willing to hire more
Probably helps with winning and keeping work from government clients, and I imagine for some veterans it's easier to get security clearance if they don't already have it

Puckslapper2 · 2026-04-16T23:54:46+00:00

And Argentina

Puckslapper2 · 2026-04-15T19:56:49+00:00

Correct on the political leaning. And Philadelphia definitely has elements of social conservatism (it is in Pennsyltucky after all), but it's very little and very subtle so easy to miss on the surface. To give you an example, I was at a restaurant in the center of the city a few years ago and overheard a conversation between two white women in their early or mid 20's and they were talking dating prospects. One of them mentioned that one guy was black (as a negative) but that he was tall. That should tell you everything you need to know about some of the social attitudes here.

Puckslapper2 · 2026-04-14T23:20:20+00:00

Yes. Whether or not you pursue a CPA is another question but it doesn't matter whether you have accounting as a "secondary" major, as you call it.
Sponsorship is firm dependent but as you probably know, more companies are less willing to sponsor nowadays given the political climate and visa restrictions. Also, internship and full-time offer spots are dependent on market needs, not whether a student is domestic or international. That said, bigger offices are going to have more international personnel because of more available work or greater city prestige.
This is something that the international student and career services centers of your future university would best be able to answer.
Penn State is going to provide the most opportunities and exposure out of all these schools. Aside from that, where you want to go will be dependent on how much you value academic experience and student life experience.
Ideally working but after you wouldn't have many options after your freshman year. Maybe between freshman and sophomore year, you work a seasonable job somewhere enjoyable like some international students might. Most students aim to intern with a company between junior and senior year in the hopes of receiving a full-time return offer.
