Interesting stats this morning. EY hired 65k people this year from 2million that applied. 3% hiring rate. One person hired every 8 minutes. What is Harvard’s acceptance rate again (5.4%)?

Yep definitely a new hire. Anyone who's been at the firm long enough knows that's it's a shitshow all round, and these numbers are merely a way to entice more gullible newbies into this ditch.

The numbers OP posted are correct. I read them recently on the intranet in the financial year end summary note by Mark Weinberger

Does it count the people that apply for 20 positions as one or 20? My guess is 20. Deloitte says the same crap. The difference is if you got into Harvard you're probably not working at Deloitte or EY.

The thing is - about all Big4 consulting - is that 99% of the world doesn't know what we do, or if they do, thinks "no way would I ever be able to get a job there" because of the auditing prestige. Wasn't on my radar until I was a contractor for PwC, knew 2 people from a previous job at Deloitte. So while EY2 and D2 are correct, I also think the number of shit applicants is less than the "xyz office in Scranton" gets because of that lack of awareness and/or lofty prestige as viewed by the average working stiff.

MBB is even worse in that regard. You might as well be Prince of Wales if you work there. People MIGHT have HEARD of McKinsey, or might "know" the name Bain from Romney.

One has to presume the 2m is not individual applicants, but each application to a specific position. EY loves all the happy feelies no matter how fake.

Total firm population is ~250k. Also, I assume this includes everyone that drops their resume off in the bin at a career fair and I'm not sure how it counts people who decline a role before a formal offer.

Spruce?

During interview I was speaking to the hiring manager. Felt interview was going well. He seemed impressed by my answers, excited by my skills, and even gave me a tour of the office. At the end, he asked about my home life. When I spoke of my 3 young kiddos, the manager got a little taken back and replied Oh you have children? I said yes ages 3, 5, and 7. He then proceeded to ask me about daycare arrangements and if I can be reliable. Red flag as his demeanor changed and made me feel unworthy.
