Did 4 rounds of interviews. Last 2 with 2 partners at EY. Haven’t heard back even after 1 month. One partner even commented “you will be a good addition to the team”. Hiring manager gave EY email after her interview call with me.
Fast forward two weeks, no communication. Recruiting was surprised that I was still chasing for this position, month later. Got to know last week that hiring team was continuing to interview candidates. Should I drop the idea to get hired? EY hasn’t rejected me yet.

Are virtual interviews better than in-person?
What a power play. Who consulted on this one.

I was active duty in the Navy and can tell you my experiences. Reserves are not bad and doesn’t put too much strain on people.
So think of it as a project. You have a lot of different roles in the intel world. They all come together to help tell the story. You provide a piece of the story. We go out and get it for you. As far as strategy for data collect, Intel officers worked with us on briefings, etc. to help us with our collect strategy. That being said we almost always adjusted due to operational adjustments that happened during the mission.
On a side note, I used to love our daily intel briefings. I knew so much coming out of those briefings about a variety of topics. It really helps, especially in an operating environment.

Lol yes the US has been manufacturing consent against China for years. But boy have you ever seen two legit nuclear powers (i.e. Israel and Iran don’t count) get into war with each other in the human history?
So you can rule out the risk of “a war with Russia/China/UK/France” from your “things to worry list”.
Edit: yes there has been and will be some conflict, but that’s it. i.e. USSR-China in ‘69 and ‘72

Very true. Your perspective will align with key players in US foreign policy, so this definite helps you in achieving your goal.
And yes, your perspective will likely to be aligned with the US interest. Per your example, China still has not resolved its revolution/civil war and there has been a de facto armistice since ‘92. You will probably view this in a different way as you indicated. Same thing goes with other conflicts such as Palestine problem.
OP... This forum is geared towards Navy but the officer/OCS route and predominantly aviation driven. It will have a lot of info and the forum is great. Just do your searches first before asking as there is a lot of great questions already asked and answered. https://airwarriors.com/community/
Good luck!
Very interested in this as well, following
It would put a lot of strain on your civilian career and why? I fought in Iraq after high school and I’d go to any length to discourage my kids from serving. What for?!
My ex was Army intel and while he was usually in an office, over the course of three deployments, the compounds where those offices were located were under rocket fire more often than not.
If this was a serious concern, I would be focused more on how to build a nuclear fallout shelter and sustainable underground farming.
As a reservist you likely won’t do any intel work such as IPB besides your annual training and if you get deployed.
If you want to do stuff using intelligence work I’d suggest you go active duty or to an intel agency.
With that said reserve doesn’t seem to be a big strain on my civilian career. National guard seems to be an issue for many though due to lots of 3-4 day Battle Assemblies instead of just 2 day
To add... to become an officer you would need to go to basic then OCS which will eat up 6-7 months in a single go. Can you afford that much time away from work?
True but OP can always do BCT and OCS back to back then do MOS specific school later. Could also split all of them up but I’d recommend basic/ocs back to back.
I’ve seen many reservists do MOS training 1-3 years after commissioning. It’s not unusual and typically these are 4-5 months but can be much longer depending on MOS
Army intel school is 16 weeks for officers
