Former Deloitte here, I was interviewing for a IAM senior position at EY. The process started in mid August. Did my phone screen, then first interview with a Manager then second with senior manager. I was asked to choose a date and time for the third interview with a Principal. While waiting to be scheduled for the interview, yesterday I got an email stated that the position has been filled. After going through the process for more than a month. Is this situation ever happened to anyone???

EY recruiters are not competent. I'd not take it personally

like

I interviewed with them for over 3.5 months - 1 Recruiter, 3 Sr Managers and 1 MD to eventually get the offer at a level lower than I was interviewing for and at the pay that was roughly 50% lower than what the Recruiter and I had discussed. EY is a joke.

That’s insane. 3.5 months?? That’s crazy.

EY recruiters suck. Either purposefully or they hire terrible people. Lowballs and down-levels even when you're 100% transparent about what you're expecting. I had a situation years ago where I was already making $160k at manager level and the recruiter was arguing with me on how they would bring me in at a senior consultant level at 120k like she was doing me a favor. I couldn't figure out a way to help her understand that didn't make any sense. It's like do these idiots even know what they're doing?
