EY folks, is it true that we cannot interview with audit clients while we’re still at the firm? And/or that audit partners can prevent us from accepting a job offer? Being told yes but it seems fishy.

EY1 can take whatever he wants and shove it. As an accountant, he doesn’t realize that his days are numbered. When computers replace the pathetic set of accounting rules that you call work, you and independent will be the first ones out the door...

If you're working on an audit team with them at the time, definitely. Didn't you take the mandatory independence training yet? It was in there.

Hey Parthenon, how’s the big4 love treating you guys across the fence?

I answered your question, and pretty sure independence applies to everyone. Take that attitude and formulate a strategic way to shove it.

Ey is first and foremost an audit firm. All of the rules were designed around audit independence rules.

Yep, that's why I started with "If you're working with an audit team at the client". That's typically who those rules apply to unless there's a no poaching agreement in the contract.

Eh, I'm used to people that are pissed off at EY and the world. They can do what they want, just don't get caught violating independence rules. As an audit firm, they take stuff like that seriously. Also, partners are vindictive and will kick you out without a second thought. If that happens, then you can definitely interview with an audit client no matter what.

I'm surprised too

That makes 3 of us

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me.
