Know anyone you worked with who has left EY? I only used references outside of my current job

You can ask the firm if it is OK to give references after receiving an offer. That is pretty standered when moving from the first job out of school

Project teammates? Any friends from school? I would think it's strange if you've worked at EY for more than a few months but had no references from EY.

Just tell the new place you are happy to provide but they can’t contact them unless a offer is on the table so as to not jeopardize your current job…

If needed do you babe a coach or someone you value?

I used someone who had left the firm who was my senior, a friend from college who I worked with closely in extracurriculars, and someone from my own start class that had already left.

Why not just be open with your coworkers about the fact that you are considering leaving? You are absolutely not going to get fired in this environment or any other, and you might engage in real talk about why you want to leave. Could lead to changes that give you more options.

Few tips for looking at exits:

1) Referrals are a huge tool for getting your foot in the door. At Facebook it guarantees that atleast your resume is given more than a glance.

2) A well constructed story/resume can offset any weak points in your experience

My résumé and portfolio are great, and I’ve been asked to interview with Amazon for 4 different teams now.

I have been invited for a new interview today with another team, and I am hoping 4th time is the charm. Any tips on how to do better next time?

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
