EY recruiting is such a mess. Applied and did a pre-recorded video interview, heard nothing for like 3 weeks. Then I get a random call saying they liked me and would I be available to attend an interview the following day. I say yes but never receive an email or additional details. Call back the number and it goes to voicemail. The following week I get a rejection email. Just so frustrating EY

Anyone up to case this weekend?
What do you wish were different about your firm?
Bain & Company Got dinged after a final round AC interview with Bain & Company as an experienced hire with 1 YOE. Currently at $75k base salary and on average work 30-40 hours a week.
Considering $15-25k increase in salary, but double the number of work hours, is it worth reapplying to Bain next year or better to wait to apply until after business school?
Is firm travel back up to pre covid levels?

Not my firm so take this with a grain of salt: I am convinced companies across sectors are incurring the cost of “recruiting” with minimal expectation to hire, just to remain in the market.
I had a very weird experience interviewing with McKinsey recently and that’s the only explanation that would make sense… Felt like they were interviewing with no intent to truly hire
What industry experience do you bring? What differentiates you from the 10k others who are also 9th decile every year, the roughly 50k others with DD experience (globally) across T2+others, and the half a million students that attend the worlds top 20 universities at any given time?
@McK 2 Firstly, thanks for your feedback!
1. I believe despite having “engrained habits” with my experience, being a fresh uni grad gives me the mentality of still being at the bottom of the food chain and a “grad” mindset despite my experience if that makes sense? That’s what I was trying to show.
2. Noted.
3. Understood but with it being so competitive I thought it’d be a unique way to make myself stand out because they are achievements that entry level consultants haven’t done.
I’ll make more of a point to emphasise your last sentence. I probably got too caught up trying to differentiate myself that I didn’t put enough focus on the core skills. Thank you 🙏
I don’t think any of the big consultancies are doing much in terms of lateral hiring now, unless for a very specific need.
MBBs have been burnt pretty bad with T2 lateral hiring experiment of 21-22, so doubt they will open the lateral pool unless for a very specific niche need. McKinsey in particular has been struck really bad and is still trying to recover from the massive hit to its brand from T2 hiring, headcount down by 20% last 2 years and BCG recently overtook McKinsey in terms of number of employees (as per LinkedIn Insights)
lol what a weird way to place blame for the over hiring followed by economic downturn leading to stalled business, plus reputational hit from their own greedy practices and bad business selection. McKinsey couldn’t remotely accurately predict its own need, their reputation is in the toilet compared to what it was (I’m watching recruiting at M7 MBAs happen rn, no one’s top choice of MBB is McK anymore and it has nothing to do with T2 hiring), yes they’ve taken a brand hit but it’s not because they hired some T2 laterals lol
Sorry to hear that since we stepped up hiring this year. Getting to the first round is representative of the fact that you are a good candidate, but unfortunately that's it. Your actual case and PEI performance is all that matters for moving on
How do you even know which percentile you got in solve?
