Just got a job at Deloitte M&A in Atlanta and am currently looking to buy a house. Would you advise I buy closer to Atlanta or the suburbs? I personally want to be in the suburbs but I hear the traffic situation is quite bad. Current consultants in Atlanta, how much time do you actually spend in the office vs remote vs client site? Would you advise I try and stay closer to the office?
I applied with EY for a Senior Manager role I had my first stage interview with a senior manager, which I thought went well as I got the partner interview 2 weeks later, and said I'll be contact within 10 day HR. This did not happen so I chased up. Today I received feedback from HR stating that the senior manager, who would have been my peer, said I didn't have enough experience. But the partner who I would have been working under did like me.
Is this normal with EY recruitment
Hi all, I just got a job offer at PwC for a senior consultant position. The salary is 30% above my total comp right now, but I’m just worried about the amount of work I will have to put in compared to my amazing work life balance now. Does anyone have any experience moving from industry to consulting? I need some advice on what to do. I’m still early in my career (1.4yoe) so I feel like I shouldn’t care too much about wlb, but at the same time, I don’t want my mental health to suffer either.
Did 4 rounds of interviews. Last 2 with 2 partners at EY. Haven’t heard back even after 1 month. One partner even commented “you will be a good addition to the team”. Hiring manager gave EY email after her interview call with me.
Fast forward two weeks, no communication. Recruiting was surprised that I was still chasing for this position, month later. Got to know last week that hiring team was continuing to interview candidates. Should I drop the idea to get hired? EY hasn’t rejected me yet.
Accenture - interviewing for Asset Management - Consultant. Coming from industry, made it onto ‘Skills Interview’ website makes it out to be an in-depth resume review. Any additional info on the process. Also, any tips moving forward in interview process, especially given industry - consulting transition. Thanks!

What does it matter? You listed a bunch of static facts that will never change - the answer is always no if you don’t do anything, so you might as well apply.
Exactly. So who cares what your chances are?
Just apply and see yourself? Worst thing that can happen is a rejection, so what?
I’m a CSP from a non target and got in with a 2.8 in undergrad engineering, but had close to 4.0 in grad school
Almost 0.
I had a 2.7 gpa due to undiagnosed learning differences until 3rd year of college. Worked extremely hard to turn it around later and got a bunch of cool work experience. It’s all about perspective, your story and your grit. Your chances of your resume being picked up out of a pile are slim but you can try to build relationships with the recruiter or a Partner/SP and get them to advocate for you to at least get an interview
Now May not be the best time to apply. Current profile has slim chances plus the market conditions don’t help. What can you do from now for the next 1-2 years to add to your profile. That would be the question I would ask.
