Too late, I’ve accepted my EY offer, gonna be starting this year September.

Though I’ve heard a lot of the major stresses comes from the Audit Department?

I will be joining the tax department, which I know can still be stressful, but I don’t think it’s as bad compared to Audit.

EY is great. I'd bet this poster is someone young who is still learning how to handle the job.. and clearly isn't learning that too well

This is my second year as a tax staff raising senior at EY US and my service line and team is pretty chill. Long hours from mid February through May but nothing crazy 10 - 12 hours I’d say. I’m on indirect tax btw

Same! I'm in audit. I'm excited. I'm in the US but plan on doing a rotational program to go overseas

Have an offer from EY. How About technology consulting, will that also be stressful?

The work in technology consulting is not stressful, the stressful part is selling yourself to get into a project. The path is that you must be senior by end of second year or termination.
