OP I would ask them for 1 extra day.

I’d say exactly 2.3 extra days.

Maybe not. But do you have a choice?

Plenty of time

You applied or recruiter reached out?

EY 1 - how does it really matter? Does that change his prep timelines?

Haha 1 extra day?

It’s typical. Your call on if it’s enough

Should be fine, you have the advantage of already working in consulting

Did you do a telephone case interview (round 1) or were you asked to go straight to the in-person interview ?

Straight to round 1

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job
