Had an interview with EY last Friday. During the interview, the SM mentioned that if the interviewers (SM and M in my case) were still unsure about giving offer, we would do another interview with the partner. Today I was told that I’d have a call with partner next week. So not sure if this is a good or bad sign 🥲 The recruiter said that the interview would be “conversational” so it seems slightly less formal. Has anyone had similar experience?

Honestly kinda a weird statement by the SM, I think you’d probably interview with the partner anyway. I’d say this is a good thing since a lot of hiring decisions ultimately flow through the partner from what I’ve seen.

That’s what I thought too so I was confused by what he said and thus wasn’t sure if I didn’t do well enough or not haha. But thank you, that’s reassuring to know

SM was feeling himself but an SM can’t even be the final sign off on an intern hire.

Haha ty! But if anything this seems a bit concering too me because they aren’t sure about giving me offer after 2 interviews🥲 Hopefully the next one goes smooth!

I got the offer without partner interview but it's common to have a partner interview. You will be fine!!

Thanks. Wish you the best
