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

My take is that SMs seem to be the shot callers when it comes to hiring decisions. PPEDs have actual authority but they often times have more casual interviews for fit and vision and leave it up to SMs to ascertain qualifications and capability. So even if a PPED liked you, it’s feasible that they wouldn’t challenge an SM who didn’t think you fit the bill

Coming from someone involved in the process - This is the case sometimes. We have direct input into the process and can make or break the decision. That said there have been multiple cases where we put up major red flags in candidates and the Partner overrules and hires the person anyway. I guess I’m saying that yes the SMs have a lot of say but the Partners make the decision end of the day.

Typical hiring process is the Senior Manager is the first line of defense, then it is pushed forward to their reporting partner, then they take it to their more senior partner boss’ for sign off.

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload.

Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?
