Guys , whoever is interviewing and planning to join , do ask project availablity on priority basis before you take decision. On Java front looks like there is some project issue due to recent slowdown in market. My offer was not revised even after agreement with recruiter because of this.

Let your partner know and also check your contract. Primarily to make sure there isn’t a non solicit or if there is, if it can be waived. Do the interview. Get the offer. Let the partner know if you decide to accept. Let your manager know (if you aren’t the manager). Manage a smooth transition. And be a friend of the firm
I have gotten an informal offer in writing, so that I could better understand role/level/total package before running it up the flagpole at EY (just needed to understand viability, etc.). Talking to the partner this week before anything is formal, so that I can go about this the right way.
Thanks for your feedback, it was super helpful!

Interview. Ask the client to keep things confidential. If both you and them want to move forward, notify the EP.
Non solicit wouldn’t apply here as (1) you’re initiating, not the client, and (2) your enrollment soliciting others in the firm to tak that job.
This was also fabulous advice - I appreciate it!
Say nothing, interview for the job, win it, and then give your notice. You owe EY nothing. Plus, it will all work out seamlessly as 1)EY is not going to talk away from all of the revenue they have at the client, and 2) MOST importantly….they want friends of the firm in positions of influence to buy more work.
Don’t overthink it. Interview and treat it like any other opportunity you’d have outside of rho firm. Don’t let the firn own you.
EY 1 - Why are you so bitter lol.
You have taken tremendous artistic license in interpreting my response as an admission that EY is the only significant professional network that I have, in addition to positing that it’s the only employer I have had to date…both of these things are patently false.
I have lived all over the world, and I have worked for several firms - my network is expansive, and somehow is incredibly interconnected - the point I was making in my post.
For anyone keeping score: the approach I have used (enabled by the knowledge/advice shared with me by folks who were decidedly less negative - see above) yielded an incredible outcome. All the conversations I have had have been immensely positive. Everyone at EY is very happy for me, and they have moved quickly to get all the administrative pieces taken care of, so that I can move forward with the offer and setting a start date. In my opinion, everything recommended by partners above is part and parcel with being an honorable person - something that is important to me at work and outside of it.
EY 1 - might I suggest you also “break free” if this is really how you feel about the organization? Just a thought. Good luck with your next step!
