Does anyone have any insights/tips for my EY video interview? I’ve been trying to break into consulting and this is my first real interview with a consulting company. It’s for a EDGE STEM R&D Engineering Analyst position. Thanks!

What exactly are you expecting in terms of consulting? I haven't been in EDGE R&D directly, so I can't speak from personal experience, but there are a couple things I will note from "the outside" (I used to be part of quantitative services, which is the tax group that works with EDGE. I switched to consulting a few years ago so things may be very different than what I recall):

1. EDGE is associated with tax, not consulting. Specifically, here's looks like R&D credit studies. I'm hoping you already get that? But it's not the sort of thing I'd normally expect from consulting bowl.

2. Even if we say r&d credits are tax consulting (which I can accept that argument), from what i know, EDGE is a different business line and way of working than the tax consultants. My understanding is edge has less pressure on things like sales, business development, promoting "up or out" etc. The core principle of EDGE is to have people with engineering backgrounds to help substantiate r&d credits. (So this means that your technical/subject matter expertise will likely matter more, whereas in traditional consulting roles, there's a balance of expectations between subject matter expertise, project management, sales, etc.)

Sorry that probably doesn't directly answer the question, but hopefully it can give you an indirect feel.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?
