I had an interview with EY for an S1 role in GCR tax back in early July. I sent follow ups/thank you to the both my interviewer and recruiter. No response for three weeks. Just got an email from the recruiter for us to have a chat next week. Does anyone know if this is a good or not so good sign? I’m praying for an offer but to start after 10/15, because I have so many projects at work right now. The anxiety will kill me this weekend lol. 😅 Thank you everyone!

They probably put you on the back burner because of your delayed start date. They were looking to see if they can fill in the positron sooner. Good sign that they are contacting. Probably will ask if you're still interested.

Hmm... hard to tell. It's not that far away though, so they might.

Sounds like a good sign to me

Haha thank you very much!

Good sign is you're still being considered. Bad sign is that they probably had others in mind and fell though or simply didn't get the ideal candidate.

Either way, good luck and congrats on getting a follow up.

For the record, EY always seems to take forever to process interviews and make an offer. I had to follow up numerous times even after I received the verbal offer. Part of it is because the administrative side of things is handled by an offshore team. I wouldn’t be concerned regardless of the reason for the delay.

EY1. Same. If you're open to start asap and passed interviews, they only need few days to approve the offer.

While the 3-4 week delay is frustrating, you should know that this seems to be a bit of the norm at times these days. Keep in mind there was a holiday week as well which pushed everything back. People are hard to get a hold of and have either entered vacation mode early or never came back from vacation mode. Either ways, I wouldn’t say you weren’t their first choice.

I know there’s horror stories everywhere, but sometimes people genuinely just slip through the cracks. Sometimes the HR person is on PTO and sometimes the decision makers are on PTO. It just happens. I know an intern that “got lost” and didn’t get a full time gig.

I also waited a month to hear back. But partner eventually called me and told they would extend an offer.

After 10/15 should be fine also. They aren’t hiring for the short haul. They need people for the long game.

Thank you so much for the explanation! I definitely remember that week off slowing everything down. And yep, I’m really gonna push for that 10/15. Thank you so much!

Most likely you’ll be a January hire.
