Interviewed last week with EY for an SC role in their Business Transformation Consulting Practice. Recruiter emailed me this week and said feedback was incredibly positive, but ‘our team is pausing on making any more offers while we evaluate our headcount, utilization, and project pipeline going into the next fiscal year’. Also said they’ll hopefully know in two weeks. Is EY in a hiring freeze? And if so, how long will it last? EY

No. They probably just didn’t want to extend an offer to you and they were trying to be as nice as possible about it.

Yeah, the recruiter said “That being said, your feedback was incredibly positive and we are still interested in your candidacy.

Please keep me in the loop with any competing offers or timelines. I will be in touch as soon as our evaluation is complete and I know more about extending offers.”

Yes, they are and will probably be until September

You were right! They emailed me today and said ‘we’re still interested and will reach out at the end of September’ 😂😂

There is no freeze. It’s just what the recruiter told you. We are finalizing the headcount across service lines and the projected revenue targets for this year. We expect some level of attrition after we updated release salaries and bonuses in a couple of weeks and we will know how many more people we can bring on and at what levels. We have only done a “freeze” during the early part of the pandemic.

FYI you can’t self clear here regardless of level or service line. So be careful if you have FAANG in portfolio for example!

Best of luck, took me a few weeks to get my offer approved during the pandemic! So don’t think the recruiter is lying to you!

Freeze is in. 100%

No freeze, definitely slowed though. My sector has an internal directive of only hiring “all stars” on-shore. It’s simple logic, slowed pipeline = higher bench = slower hiring

Did you ever hear back? I’m in the same boat.

Yeah they said they’ll reach out the end of septembwr

That’s good to know, I wasn’t provided an estimate timeline. Has your HR contact been responsive?

Hi Fishes, I grabbed an offer at Accenture with 12 LPA fixed for Level 9. I'm not getting a retention offer from my current company at 13.5 lpa. How do I go about a counter offer with Accenture HR? Also tell me how to approach this situation smoothly.

If HR doesn't fulfill the counter offer, is it ok to accept 12 lpa fixed for Level 9 and when will I get a hike here and how much would it be approximately?
