When I started my career in consulting, I had the opportunity to work at both Deloitte India and EY India. Each firm offers unique advantages.
In terms of growth, Deloitte stands out for its organized learning sessions, especially with on the job training and mentorship programs. EY India, however, focuses heavily on long-term career development with a strong rotational policy, providing varied exposure. Salary is fairly competitive in both firms, though Deloitte tends to offer slightly higher performance-based bonuses. Culturally, EY promotes a highly friendly atmosphere, while Deloitte’s environment is known for being competitive but profitable.
Lastly, work-life balance is a bit more controlled at EY, especially in client-facing roles. If you're considering Deloitte vs Ernst and Young, consider your priorities in work-life balance against competitive growth.
