Has anyone else in NY had an offer delayed? I was told by my EY recruiter that it would take some time to receive the verbal and written offer due to a new background check for NYC residents; I was told unofficially that the team liked me and wanted to move forward and we discussed comp and start date. I’m a little concerned something else is going on and my offer will go to someone else. Am I worrying too much? Thanks! EY

My initial reaction: most practices are hiring numerous resources at every level. I would be surprised if there’s only one slot. You’re probably fine in that respect.

I haven’t dealt with that for EY, but did deal with that with another startup where they said they couldn’t formalize the offer for another 3-5 months because they got news to not fill the role til then. If that’s not the case here, you should be fine (most recruiters tend to be up front).

Background check thing is real. New NY law for those that live in the five boroughs that broke it into a two step process. They can start first part after you give verbal acceptance and the second part after you accept formal offer. It delays the whole hiring process by a few weeks

Yeah it’s two step background checks in New York now.

What's the reason of two background checks? I thought the government was really really left leaning? Lol

And the banks for themselves exempted.

That's weird. I received verbal offer right after my interview in August and written offer several business days later.

Ohh thank goodness!

Also note did you verbally accept the offer? I heard EY doesn’t give letters till you verbally accept too.

Yeah we discussed my target start date and comp and she said they were exactly in line with what they were looking for. Then she said to expect a verbal offer to come last Wed/Thur but I’ve heard nothing so far.

Classic EY.

Not in NYC but it did take three months for the offer letter

Three months?? Jeez
