Hello fishes,
I have a background in finance and 6+ YOE of professional work experience, I had to leave CA in between due to family emergency and started working (although only 1 group of CA final is left, 1 is cleared already), so can anyone provide an insight if being CA qualified is a mandatory requirement in EY and EY GDS in position of Manager in Accounting, auditing,FAAS,AWM teams etc
Would appreciate any insight, as seems HR everywhere just see degree and not the relevant work ex..

Never been in this situation but I imagine after you get the offer, and after you negotiate salary, then sprinkle that in before you sign.
This worked for me! Did exactly this and needed exactly 2 weeks off for a family member’s wedding abroad.
(this was at a boutique prior to McK, but regardless, it worked out)
Ask for the guaranteed time off after you have an offer. If you’re the best candidate, and they have a good work life balance, they shouldn’t have an issue with it.
C1 perfect answer - before when this happened, I just brought it up as I accepted the offer, 99% they won’t have an issue with it at all even if technically u won’t have enough PTO, also there will be paper trail that someone said u were promised time off
Thanks everyone for the feedback! I was already leaning towards waiting until getting an offer, but I was worried about seeming like I’m intentionally hiding important details. Your comments are very reassuring that it’s reasonable to wait until an offer.
After you've signed everything arrange to take the vacation. Don't tell them before they are invested in you as a candidate. But be prepared if you wait you may need to change plans
Pro
Keep in mind here that the future company may have policies on how many days in the hole you can go for PTO, so for that or other considerations, they may prefer to delay the start date. Given that there isn’t even an offer yet, and these processes take time, this may make the most sense.
