Hey EY-Parthenon fishes! I had my last interview on Thursday for a director position. Emailed the recruiter today and she said “Are you available to connect tomorrow by chance?” Is that a good sign or no?😩😩

The go-nogo decision is made on the day of your last interview. Usually recruiter will reach out to you same day evening or next day AM to communicate the decision. Not sure why you have not been communicated until now, but good luck either case

Not necessarily. Sometimes can’t get the whole panel together for a debrief until the next day or even the day after that.

update - I didn’t get it.

Yeah not enough client facing experience

You may need to do an additional case, good luck!
