I'm interviewing at a company that EY audits, and just found out a manager and senior manager I've worked with closely in the last will be joining that audit team this summer. Would that make it weird to work there?

If anything I would think it makes it easier to work with the auditors. You already have a relationship so talking with them will be a breeze and you’ll have an idea of what they’re going to ask for/want to see for documentation. Don’t sweat it.

Yeah I would like that. I have good relationships with my peers and I would want to leverage that if I moved to industry. They would probably feel the same way too.

If you do join the company and depending on what capacity the role is in it is possible they might not even end up on the team due to independence given your history working together closely

Why would it be weird?

You’ll be fine. It’s not like you are in industry and your auditor is your ex, now that would be weird.

Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.
