Just heard back from EY that they will not proceed with an offer 😞 Receuiter said I did great in interviews but the market condition change/lack of pipeline was the concern. Recruiter wanted to keep the communication open for next year as they expect things to change by then, but all sounds a bit like a nicely wrapped rejection. Disappointed but I guess I should focus on the next interviews with Deloitte and KPMG!

Suspicious. Why would they ask you to interview if they aren’t looking to hire? And an office that’s not currently hiring in this environment?

They’re not telling you everything.

Possible. If you want a senior or a manager, it may take 2-5 months to find and start one. If they expected several seniors to leave, and none did, or as OP stated they lost out on a few projects, then the need is no longer there.

OP should have given the recruiter their pipeline 😏
