I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at EY (New York, NY)
Interview
Started with a Human Resources point of contact from my recruiter. I sat in one room with each individual interviewer visiting me in the one location. Started with an Audit Manager for about 30 minutes and then spoke with two Partners focused on Private Equity and Hedge Fund line of business for an hour in total. The process was relatively painless except there were some product specific questions to ensure I really knew the products I claimed were on my resume.

Question 1
How has your experience prepared you for this role to manage a larger team?
Two rounds of interview. First with Senior Manager or Director. Final with Partner. First mostly technical, second more relaxed, seeing fit and all that. Overall chill and not that bad

Question 1
Mostl around previous experience and things in my CV
Straight forward process. Not very thorough and interviewer asked fairly basic questions. Didn't give much information about the company, clients or culture which would have been useful. Seemed fairly disinterested.
Fast two‑round processes where both interviews are directly with Directors or Partners, combined with immediate HR scheduling after an online application, usually signal a high‑priority vacancy and a shortlist that’s already been narrowed. It often means they’re moving quickly to secure strong candidates and want decision‑makers involved early to avoid delays.
