I applied with EY for a Senior Manager role I had my first stage interview with a senior manager, which I thought went well as I got the partner interview 2 weeks later, and said I'll be contact within 10 day HR. This did not happen so I chased up. Today I received feedback from HR stating that the senior manager, who would have been my peer, said I didn't have enough experience. But the partner who I would have been working under did like me.
Is this normal with EY recruitment
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.

I went from ACN to PwC, so one consulting gig to another. WLB can be brutal but you learn a lot, meet a lot of great people, and make a decent salary. No harm in trying it out for a year or two to see if you like it. If you leave after two years, you’re most likely going to be in a better position to get a higher paying job than most career tracks.
WLB is highly depending on the group/team you join, you’d have to ask about them specifically
At this point you have nothing to lose. There’s a steep learning curve coming from industry and the wlb adjustment might take some getting used to but if you don’t take it you’ll alway wonder what if. Worst case scenario you stay a few years and the go back to industry.
If you enjoy the work more it will not feel like a burden. I went from industry to consulting 10 years ago. First year was tough but such a good experience. Back in industry now. WLB is good but work is half as interesting.
