@OP yeah the case was right after the hair test. All kidding aside , I actually did not have a case in any of my interviews.

More of a conversation than an interview for experienced hires..Keep specific examples of projects ready to answer situation related questions..Know your resume thoroughly..Mostly questions related to your experience and how well do you fit with the role..

@EY1 - thanks for the info! I'm assuming there's a case... is it focused on your industry or just random like college recruiting?

Is the hair test true?

Have you talked to folks in your group within EY?

Really? Were you really interviewed by a manager?

@EY5 yep...

Ey6 Did you join from another big 4 firm . Were you you manager prior to joining EY?

Ok thank you. What was the starting salary offered? I am interviewing for a posn there soon.

Never mind... rather can I have a burner. I need to ask about general questions . How different would an SM interview be. I am ok to if you post the question without revealing specifics.

Ahh. Ok. Thanks again

Burner?
