The market is doing so well right now that the demand for risk professionals is extremely high nowadays.
We lately hired junior staff from the industry, which before was unheard of.
I think you should stand out either way. In my city, PwC and KPMG are hiring like crazy in their risk practices

I went from mid tier to big 4 (Crowe to EY) as a senior and currently a manager. PM if you have any questions on the process and how the learning curve between the two.

I started at Crowe in September 2013 and left for EY April 2015 ( 18 months ) for a senior position. Just have to time it right. Depends on the firm. If this is EY, then it would make sense because we have the week off for the 4th and a lot of people took last week off. I would just follow up next Monday and see what he issue is.
