Question, how much would you disclose on projects/portfolio/opportunity size on EY with a direct competitor you want to join?

Disclose nothing. I think it would be illegal and unethical to give out private company information.

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem.

Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?
