My friend has an interview with EY. Is it bad if I let her know the questions I was asked during the process/case study?

I disagree with everyone saying it crosses some moral line. Truth is, most interviewees will be asked different questions. This is no different than looking online for examples. It would be one thing if OP has exact knowledge directly from the interviewer, but if he/she is just sharing their own personal experience, I don’t see anything wrong with that

Look at all these ethical folks.

She’s your friend. If she’s not on your team/department, there’s no problem(s) helping her, especially if she’s one of your close friends.

I actually know of an MD that sent the exact case my friend would get during his interviews beforehand, and it was a position for his own team.

If nepotism is allowed to run rampant, why can’t you do the same for your friend?
