Lol yes that should always be fine. I would just tell your team ASAP that you had scheduled a vacation prior to hire.

Do it. Nobody will care

Yes, that’s plenty of time. Take a look at the vacation policy when you start next week, which outlines how much notice to give depending on the length of vacation. Also add the vacation to your schedule since your experience manager will be looking at that to line up your first project (if not already booked). You’ll be fine 😊 welcome to the firm!

Recruiter won't know who to pass the info on to anyway.

Yes of course.

Yes of course. Stick to your plans. When you’re starting just inform your manager & it won’t be a problem I’m sure.

Yup. Once you get staffed on a project just immediately notify your project team of your planed time off

Yes. Nobody cares — best part about EY.

Tell them now

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?
