Do big 4 positions really close/get filled that quickly? The past 4 EY positions I applied to has led to a generic email of the positions getting filled/closed. Cant tell if it’s a generic rejection or if the positions I applied to are filled bc of an internal hire. Thoughts?

I feel like we are mostly focusing on manager level hires at this time and also because of the split, things are a little up in the air at the moment.

Thank you for this, I’ll keep on trying!

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.

Does really Collaboration work or it's just a myth. Always hearing from Offshore manager is that take more ownership like from offshore we should be working 80% and only 20% will leave for onshore because of time difference..

If you had a table of customer experience/satisfaction survey responses for several questions (non-numeric but discrete possible answers, no free text; 1 question per column and 1 responder per row), how would you approach determining significant insights within the data? Excel's "Analyze Data" feature doesn't really suggest things that make sense in the real world. Is there something you would try with correlations somehow, or would you use a non-Excel tool entirely?
