EY consultants, how is the case study in the interview process? Is there one?

If you think they aren’t random and based on luck of the draw of who interviews you…

Everyone I’ve talked to who’s done a case interview at a super day in the past three years has had the same, straightforward, interviewer led case.

like

I think it was 45 minutes. No clue if they’d cut you off, but the interviewer gives you new information as you reach your different conclusions so even if you’re starting off on the wrong line of thinking, there’s still time to adjust

Lol explain this a little bit more

Is not standard. Each manager and oartner has his book.
Mine, are very open. I have a random excel, where i have a column of different new techs and fancy stuff like superpowers; and another column with areas of life, sectors or behavior like love, agriculture, rural life or migration policies.
You could land a quest like: how does flying as a superpower impact migration policies.
Or how does deep ocean wind warms impacts extraterrestrial exploration.
The bad thing is i dont have a grading system. Some people restrict it like: we have company X who just developed a teleporting machine. Who are their customers? how is the business model and pricing they should put?. And depending the type of questions you make you will be graded better.
Is a lot of fun

In other news, the driving source of the pandemic has been identified as a single individual that EY1 imbued with the ability to teleport.

funny

In my practice, we always give one now.

It's not terribly tough. They are interviewer led and serves as a mechanism to assess subject knowledge and ability to structure.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

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.

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received.

This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad. Pretty jaded. What can I do? Already followed up
