To quote one manager who received a 2.4% salary increase and 0.88% bonus: \u201cBalls in my throat.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EY is certainly not the only Big 4 firm dealing with a significant slowdown in deals activity but it <em>is<\/em> the only Big 4 firm that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goingconcern.com\/tags\/project-everest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">burned a $500 million hole in its pocket to explore a split of audit and consulting practices that never materialized<\/a>.
