Hello EY 🐠! Anyone kind enough to share what kind of questions you were asked by the interviewer when at interview? Specially for core tax, manager position. Wonder if it’s gonna be behavior question, technical, or mostly casual talk, etc? TIA.

Behavioral and technical were part of the recorded interview, along with a personality test and math and memory games.

Good luck!!!

One was a question about estimated tax safe harbor. The “games” were all timed and had math questions and memory games like that game Simon. You really need to focus so make sure there are no distractions. My husband kept coming in to tell me we were late for dinner and I’m pretty sure I bombed it.

I just had the strangest interview ever. It was a panel that did intros on who they are and what they work on which lasted maybe 5 minutes. Then they asked me what questions I had. Basically 95% of the interview was too see if I would be a good fit for the team.
I was expecting hard hitting technical questions. I wrote out the top 20 questions I thought they'd ask and how I'd answer. I was expecting super formal but wasn't like it at all. I'm not sure what I'm saying. Maybe just be prepared as well as you can and let the chips fall where they may. If it's meant to be you'll get it.

I have a in person(online, 4 hours - 4 people) technical interview coming up and I have been practicing my coding for the past 3 weeks.

Does it essentially end my chances if at any point I can't solve the question? I mean I will definitely attempt to talk it through, ask question, but no progress in code. 🤷
