That sounds like a pretty good situation. It's just 16 weeks. And you don't know what you might learn.

Don't take an internal - creates perception you are lazy

agree with @EY2. Or as one person put it, "EY internal is where your career goes to die".

Absolutely wrong. @ey2

A internal rotation can actually help at year end. Shows flexibility and dedication to the firm - also a lot of those roles are leadership facing.

Lol parent threw me there.

But many years of review committee experience at all levels. I should say the "right" internal role can help. Some of them are more hassle than they're worth

I'd coast until my brain starts turning to mush and then look for something else. If you care about your performance then definitely look elsewhere.

May be a good opportunity to grow internal metwork

It's finite and gives you time at home to catch up on life. You'll have plenty of other travel projects

WE STAND ALONE TOGETHER

be happy you are chargeable

Guess you are not a parent EY6

Partner I mean

If a parent is volunteering you for an internal role then he doesn't value you as much as some one else - no partner nominates their strongest for an internal role. But hey, what do I know.

Take it and have a fun summer in your city #workingpoolside

EY2 you keep saying parent instead of partner.

PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.
