^ picking deloitte for sure! I start that job summer/fall 2017 though, in line with people graduating in May. Heres what i could do at either:

EY Forensic Technology & eDiscovery Services:
- forensic data acquisition (cool!)
- data analytics (no thanks)
- eDiscovery (god no)

Deloitte Cyber Risk Services - Vigilant:
- forensic data acquisition
- secure software enablment
- managed services
- cyber threat intelligence
- security operations center (SOC) services
- SIEM services

So basically at deloitte i could do what i would have liked to do at EY plus more things!

But the really good thing is that i got into deloitte vigilant. Deloitte is broken down into secure-vigilant-resilient which is like a before-during-after security approach, and they also have a strategy/governance team on top. Vigilant is hardest to get into: its the most technical, a relatively small team (only about 8 vigilant entry level offers in NYC this year), and has the more down to earth people to boot. Everyone wants to be in vigilant.

But the kicker is, if i want, i can work on projects with the other teams too. You can read about them here: https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/risk/solutions/cyber-risk-services.html#

Really its a no brainer to join deloitte. The pros to EY were that the FTDS team is small and doubling every 2 years, so i would be nearly guaranteed a promotion every 2 years till i got to manager level. Also EY's people are extremely friendly and supportive, you wont feel as much "corporate competition" there. If i had the chance to apply to their real cyber threat management team (they didnt recruit at my school) then i might have picked EY. It would be an easier commute for me too.

Sticking with mainly 2 work sets. I think this will work great for me. On the bigger lifts, I'm doing 5 reps then 10 reps. Mixed rep ranges have worked very well for me in the past.

Damn work was pretty boring. I would be so depressed working here if I didn't have deloitte at the end of the tunnel. The commute is long, and there's zero room for growth. Would be the perfect job to have (assuming the commute was short) once I'm in my 30's though, if I could land some higher level (well paying) position and want a good work/life balance and job security.

But i can't complain! I've finally stopped collecting unemployment benefits and can support myself

Was supposed to lift Friday, but I was so sleep deprived I just didn't feel good at all.
Lifted Saturday instead, still pretty sleep deprived so I skipped my backup set of squats and skipped lunges completely. On Sunday I'll do my standing calf raises and abs to finish the week.

What a great workout. Seems like 2 work sets is the sweet spot for me! Also getting in a mix of high and low reps. I'll keep this up for a while and see how it works out.

Ran out of time, that's all I could do. Feels amazing to go hard for one set on a few lifts and then that's it. I mean the physical feeling of how I feel afterward is great.

ya one top set is awesome.. your body holds back less, mind is less drained. it's a good feeling.

multiple sets is just so much more mentally draining.. too bad it's mostly required.. hah.
