Waitlist at EY Parthenon

Hi there,

This isn't the greatest thing to hear, but, in all my years I've actually never heard of anyone getting an offer off the waitlist. 

That said, these are interesting times so you truly never know. I would hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Best to check with HR on what is their expectation.

I have heard from my coachees that sometimes the waitlist is extending out to the next recruiting cycle as well.

Typically you get off the waitlist once the other candidates in front of you have been recruited or have rejected the offer/waitlist.

Speculating here, as I never had direct view on something like this (we would manage this in a smoother way). 

You'll have to wait until a sufficient number of people reject their offers. Expect this to take up to a month, as some people will wait until they finish their interviews with other firms before giving their final answer (unless they are still conducting a lot of interviews, in that case I guess you could have to wait even longer…)

By the way, are you applying to a small office? In general, I would expect offices to give out more offers than vacancies, based on historical acceptance rates.

Hello!

Unfortunately I don´t have 1st hand experience/info here. However, there are some coaches here that come from EY, why don´t you write them a PM and ask?

Cheers,

Hi!

Very hard to tell, unfortunately.

Good luck,
