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.

Ey recruiters are very disorganized, have you reached out to either of the partners or the hiring manager if they can provide you an update? They should have more power to push things along

I hear you. I feel sorry for recruiting friends. When system rollouts are rough, they get caught up in the middle. Giving them the benefit of doubt here. Being an architect and a product owner, it is a lot of communication and planning which unfortunately takes last position. Thanks EY1, all.

Usually you get the offer the second day or early next week after the final round.. reach out to the ones who interviewed you either through email or LinkedIn. Because they are the ones who are deciding if you get the offer. The recruiter is just a messager

Yep. Thanks EY2. Just did that. Awaiting response. Will keep this chat updated.

Wait if you join, same approach, a lot of good dialogue but far from results delivered or support. Join the EY fun fest of craziness!!!

Update to this situation: I got declined. They are going with another candidate. Almost 1.5 months on hold. Asked - 1) hiring team’s feedback to help with anything and 2) recruiting’s reconfirm if this is a real rejection. I’m not expecting anything back i.e they won’t care responding.

Moving on now to pivoting into Finance. Chased for a closure after such delays and confusion, and got it.

I had to reach out to my recruiter, because she never followed up lol the process goes a lot smoother if you reach out every 3 days or so.

I agree generally. But there comes a point where the diligent effort can be perceived as desperation. Not knowing the hiring team situation (like their friends are caught up in the war in Ukraine, they are continuing to interview others) can make us look insensitive. I’ll let them use those options and miss me.

It is for this reason recruiting job is critical to help present a fair shot as the potential candidate. EY isn’t the only firm to burn up all the energy. That’s my Friday soap 😀

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.
