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.
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?

If you’re from a non-target school then you need to find someone who will put a good word in. This does not mean a partner. Just someone who is willing to stick their neck out for you, which literally means writing an anonymous recommendstion on your behalf. I came from a non-target school, got a 710 after 3 tries, and got an offer for full time after not getting an interview for internship.
Don’t come to these forums looking for a sense of hope. A 720+ is incredibly hard to achieve, and maybe you’ll get it. But everything is so skewed now that the barometer for success are insane test scores and schools that give you a sense you’ll learn more from them than some state school with no ranking. one of my best friends got a 750, had a mba from Harvard and undergrad at Ivy League, and was put on transition in one year. Now he’s the CFO of a public company making more than just about 80% of partners.
Interesting insight. Do CFOs actually make more money than consulting partners?
I was required to put scores for my application. I think they matter more as part of the filtering step of figuring out who to interview, not a deciding factor for extending the offer. Coming from a non-target school, I definitely felt like high test scores shored up my credibility as a candidate. If you’re coming from an M7 school, probably matters a lot less. Otherwise I would aim for 720+ if at all possible.
Thanks for the response - appreciate it
