Or is it just me

Yep. You should always be performing a level above, working late hours, always ready to drop your personal commitments for some deck the manager wants to send out at 9am. But when it comes time for promotion? That’s the norm, don’t get any points for busting your ass.

Same YOOO let’s quit after this tgt 👏🏻

Client can meet expectations - they hire us to exceed.

If the client can’t meet expectations, then we meet expectations and make it seem like we exceeded.

Exceeding expectations = Meeting expectations. If you want that promotion, you have to really kick butt.

Fello fish - want your perspective
Offer 1: Director, Corporate Strategy f100 med device mnfg; Offer 2: Associate Principal ZS; offer 3: Director, Data Governance F100 pharma

the main partner I work for hasn’t been giving me consistent enough work (or type I want) so while I work for him still on some deals, I’ve had to go and get other work from other partners. He doesn’t regularly check in on what I’m working on. He keeps volunteering me for projects without checking if I have capacity and if he expected to know everything I’m working on… he would’ve thought I was just doing nothing the last 2 months. I don’t know how to address this workload balancing with him!

Hi EY Folks,
What is the process of background verification in EY GDS?

2. Offer letter says mandatory documents to be submitted (last 2 employers as applicable).
3. They do background verification from only last two employers or all the employers?
