We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Do you have any idea?
Also, if there is some authority in your college that is technically responsible for organising placements or somewhere close to it, talk to them ask them to submit a request to EY to visit your college for recruitement. I believe they actually do this and they prefer to actually go thru colleges.
As long as you keep up with the technical knowledge, the work you do is no different from what the A0s to A3s do in T1s. Only at the SA level does it start to diverge a bit, so for 1-2 years of PQE, you're good. Of course, if you like the people and the job, you'll be fine and may even want to continue - perfectly fine, but then unless you get extremely specialised knowledge (eg: tax/M&A) you'll not be able to join as a PA/Partner. I'd wager getting in as an SA would in fact be tougher because I've seen big 4 partners become firm partners, but not all that much vice versa.
What exactly do the people do in 'Business Consulting Risk'? What are the career outcomes? Can one pivot back to law firms if one has worked there for a while? Also, why do our graduates start as Associate Consultants, and not analysts? People graduating with other degrees start as analysts, then senior analysts, in EY and elsewhere like Deloitte.
I also read that McKinsey hired from NALSAR (via this forum) - was it for the AC position only or was it for the Analyst position?
I would really appreciate inputs from people who've worked in the Big4 or worked with such people.
