I really want to work at EY. I’ve applied and interviewed now twice in my life and not gotten the job - always because I don’t have enough experience in what the job entails based on feedback given (I’m applying for jobs not in my school major or current role experience but it’s what I want to do). Would it be better to just make a lateral move to EY in what I do now and then try to pivot internally? Is it hard to do that once you are hired in a certain position?

Hi,

I am done with the multiple rounds of technical interviews in PWC AC and HR confirmed that the feedback is positive and they are working on next process.
Its been one week I haven't received any communication on that. When I called HR, she told that background check team will reach out to me over email or call in some days.

Can anyone suggest if I should hope for the offer letter in this case from PWC AC or not.
Also, what salary I should negotiate for Senior Associate.
