Working hours on EY graduate scheme?

Hi,
I have an offer for a grad scheme at EY London for FAAS (financial accounting advisory services) starting in September and I was wondering what the working hours will be like as I've heard the hours at the Big 4 will be a lot longer than at lower ranking accounting firms. Will I regularly be working past 10pm or maybe later like past midnight? And will the hours be worse at EY london FAAS compared to Deloitte audit in Aberdeen?
Thanks for any insight

Let me share with you my experience as I currently work for a Big 4 firm. I routinely log off after completing my daily target hours (7 hrs per day/35 per week). There have been times where I have worked additional hours, usually when there have been urgent deadlines or issues with personnel (by which I mean, unexpected absences due to illness), but I don't recall recording more than 8.5 hours per day or more than 40 hours per week.
From my interactions with new grads in my service line, I understand that they are not overwhelmed with work and I would imagine there would be less pressure for a new grad to work longer hours than, say, a senior Consultant or Manager on whom the responsibility for delivering a project actually falls.
I would caveat the above by stating that: 1. I have not completed a grad scheme as I was hired as an experienced hire, 2. I am not in an Audit service line and 3. I am London based.

Hey mate, what were the timelines regarding your EYX and final interview? I had my EYX on the 10th of Dec for this exact grad scheme and they have said I'm through to the final interview but still haven't sent me an email to book a slot. Cheers

Hey there! I’m currently averaging a 57-58% in my final year due to two harsh markers… there is a possibility to bump up the final overall to a 2:1 if I managed to get 70% for the remaining four modules (though it might be hard at this point).
I understand that Deloitte requires a 2:1, just wondering if this is a hard limit or does performing well in the online assessment etc make the HR re-evaluate, compromise & soften this requirement a little? Thanks!

Hi, I'm on the same boat as you. Applied for FAAS and had my EYX on 7th February. I have requested for an update twice now that I've got an offer from a different firm. They have always emailed back saying the team is working hard to schedule the interview and that I would hear from them soon. Do let me know if you hear back, please.

Hi mate, I finally had my interview a couple weeks ago but haven’t heard back since…seems they like to take their time

If it puts your heart at ease, a friend of mine got into Deloitte tax consulting despite getting a 2.2. I think they would consider how rigorous your degree is and how well you performed on their recruitment process.
