I had an interview with EY and three rounds were done. Upon following up with the recruiter, she mentioned that due to year end they are deciding on the hiring targets. Is that a polite decline? Lol. Why would they even interview me 3 rounds if they haven’t had the position open?EY

All of EY had the week of July 4th off and many folks took an additional week off on the front or back end of this. I started interviewing in November and was hired around XMas. The final offer took longer than expected due to PTO schedules.

Nah don’t think means you’re out. 3 years ago when interviewing with Deloitte, they said it’s year end so they didn’t want me to come in and sit the bench. So they said look at it as a virtual bench, and we’ll connect with you in the new fiscal year.

In my mind I thought like yeah right you’re just letting me down easy. Accepted an offer at EY shortly after.

However, they did call me back later with a verbal offer. However, I declined and just stick with EY.

I am not sure if it is true but I heard that they had to close out all open reqs and repost them because of the new fiscal year.

Likely not your fault. This is could be part of an industry shift.

It also may be a waitlist situation. Say they want to hire 2 ppl. You are the 3rd on the list. They gave the top 2 offer and are waiting till both of them get back with a reject or accept. Then they move on to you accordingly.

Just went through this a few weeks ago. I was beginning to think it wouldn’t come through but I believe the partners were just on vacation. The offer was approved and now I’m undergoing the background check. Your probably gonna be fine!
