I have applied for a Senior role at EY GDS India.

The first round has been taken by a Senior Manager.

How many more rounds will be there?

Who can take the next round ? Partner or Director?

Hey guys, quick question for anyone who’s been through EY entry-level recruiting. ​I had my partner interview a while back. They didn't explicitly say I passed on the spot, but they brought up an August start date and said doc processing would happen in July. On June 22nd, 3 weeks after my partner interview, HR sent me a basic candidate info/compliance form to fill out (just standard info, no formal doc uploads or anything). ​I submitted it right away and it’s been complete radio silence ever since. I sent a polite follow-up to my recruiter on July 20th just asking about the status/August timeline, but still haven't gotten a reply, rejection, or any portal update. ​I know new fiscal year stuff in July usually slows things down with approvals, but is it normal for it to take over a month between filling out basic info and getting the actual offer letter? Anyone else deal with a delay like this for August classes? Starting to stress out a bit.

hold a 3.2 GPA from a non target school, currently learning SQL right now. Looking to get into tax/audit internship going into my 3rd year. Any improvements?

I'm a tech consulting intern doing ERP implementation. I am studying finance and I interned at a small boutique wealth management firm doing business operations, financial planning prep and then ai strategy and implementation work with the firm partners for 2 years.

That's what really got me into tech consulting. I liked the finance work, but my passion was in making business processes more efficient with AI on the strategy and the implementation side. So when I was onboarded here, I advocated my way onto doing part-time work for the team creating an agentic ai assistant for ERP implementation.

I don't mind the ERP work, but I feel like I haven't found my niche yet and I've spoken to 25+ people across the ai and data, ERP, business consulting and strategy practices at the firm. I've been really intrigued by AI strategy roles but I felt like they were super guarded about giving me a chance unless I pursue a MBA from a top 10 b-school.

If there's any advice you have, please feel free to drop your opinions.

Don’t run your mouth about wanting to transfer offices before getting your internship offer. I know of multiple interns who didn’t get/aren’t going to get full time offers because they mentioned they want to switch offices early into (or even before starting) the internship.

Hold it in until after you’ve locked it down. #1 rule of corporate America is don’t show your hand. The company is not your friend.

I had an interview with EY (stage 1) and the HR person just “forgot” about it. I sent her a polite email after waiting 15 minutes and she got back to me 35 minutes later saying she saw it on her calendar and forgot about it and asked to reschedule.

Isn’t that beyond unprofessional??

Just venting

I have always wondered what the best way is to deal with difficult clients in audit.

After around six years working in external audit, I have had to deal with different personalities, tight deadlines, delayed requests, and some uncomfortable conversations.

I definitely do not have all the answers, but I have gained some experience over the years, so I decided to create a short video sharing three things that have helped me:

1. Explain the reason behind audit requests

2. Agree on realistic and flexible deadlines

3. Communicate honestly while maintaining independence and professional skepticism

I would really like to hear from other auditors as well. What has worked for you when dealing with a difficult or unresponsive client?

Here is the video: Link

Any honest feedback is appreciated.

Hi

got an internship offer from KPMG within Audit and Assurance. What is your best piece of advice/tips/etc. It’s a 6-months program in a EU country.

Isn’t this the same meeting invite they sent out last year when they announced no bonus for progressing or below?

I’m deciding between two MSA programs and would appreciate some advice.

I graduated this past May from George Mason University with my bachelor’s in Accounting, so I am familiar with the area and the university.

I was accepted into GMU's MSA with a full tuition scholarship, and a guaranteed Graduate Teaching Assistant position.

I was also accepted into Wake Forest University’s MSA with a full tuition scholarship as well, but no “work study“ position guaranteed.

My goal is to earn my CPA and work in Big Four.

If you were in my position, which program would you choose and why? What factors should I consider that I may be overlooking?

Genuinely curious what it’s like for non accounting roles in those locations

Based in California, just graduated with an Econ degree. I have 128 credits and am planning on using FEMA to catch up to 150. I don’t plan on pursuing a CPA but just want to get the 150 so I can work in audit for 2-3 years.

Do they just check if you have 150 credits or do they also check the subject related credits, like accounting, etc?

Hi all,

What is the travel requirement in reality for a UX design role under technology consulting? The description is at 80%, but in all my years, I’ve never had to travel anywhere for UX design/ UX Consultancy. Maybe once a year for a conference, but never as part of the job description. Is up to 80% real? NYC based role. TIA.

How is this possible? Is this actually something they can penalize u for? They said ur not working on ur CPA and u don’t have enough utilization

My boyfriend is extremely distraught at his current firm, he is being harassed left and right and really at a point of quitting.
He landed a partner interview at PWC - 30 mins after HR round and a round with the SM.
It’s for a senior manager position and in person - what are the odds he will make it ?

I am waiting on my results on my final test to hopefully go 4/4 and I was wondering if once I become a CPA i would receive a salary increase.

I currently work in EY and I know you receive a one time bonus if you pass it in the first two years of you joining, but I was also expecting some sort of increase to my annual salary as a result of my license.

I spoke with my counselor and he told me that they did not consider the CPA when giving out increases. I find this hard to believe given the need for CPAs in the industry. Can anyone confirm whether this is common practice among the firm?

Hi everyone, I have a Senior associate case study interview coming up with EY FAAS, and I’m trying to understand what to expect.

Has anyone been through the EY FAAS case study interview before? If so, I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience. What kind of case study did you receive, what types of questions were asked ?

Any tips or advice on how best to prepare would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently placed in a big 4 in the external audit department. It's been nearly 4 months since I've joined. Gained above decent exposure in a mid size firm during my articleship. So, the transition in terms of work hasn't been hard. I'm getting used to the big 4 way of work.

My major problem is the pressure. I understand from talking to people here and based on my previous articleship experience that the pressure is always present here.

There are a few bad apples in the hierarchy too in terms of micromanaging and sometimes raising their voices.

I know that external audit is not a long term plan for me. Looks like I won't be able to manage it here in the short term too. My health has taken a toll. I'm constantly anxious, which has led to nausea.

I'm planning on moving on to industry, but the job market is just genuinely bad out there.

People keep telling me to atleast consider staying for a year. But I feel like it's not something I'll be able to manage here. I'm depressed, anxious and always angry.

My question is this - do I stick it out for some time until I find a good job to drop my resignation, or do I drop it now or do I stay here for a year because it will look good on my resume? Is there a lot of shame that comes with quitting early?

I would appreciate practical, sensible advice from people who've been in this position before.

Not in taxes but other fields. I’d imagine Houston is probably all oil/gas

Currently A2 in Audit and being unassigned for 2 months.
Counselor said my performance is great and everyone likes working with me, just slow in the summer and it's alright. I asked every single person I know for work, but there's nothing. Now I start feeling like I'm not gonna get my senior promo due to low work hours. Should I plan myself out?

I worked in Pwc global for 1.5 years in Audit.I am CA + CFA level 2 qualified professional. Should I continue in Audit or Finance .? I am not getting many interview calls . I’m from India . It’s been 1 month since I resigned due to relocation .Any more certification courses should I take up for better chances ?Anyone having similar experiences . Where did you join After it?

I'm only interested in Audit. Can I submit applications to both the Financial Statement Audit and Distributed Audit & Assurance Services groups for a full-time Associate position?
