Are there currently ongoing hiring freeze in FY25 with Big 4, across consulting (e.g. EY/ PwC) / strategy (e.g. Parthenon/ Strategy&)

Hey there,

I am awaiting for my offer as I was told that I made great impression for my interview. However, it's been 2 months since my final interview. As from what I've heard, it could have been some hiring freezes in some of the Big 4 offices, causing this regional role to be potentially impacted.

Hello,


It’s certainly possible that regional hiring freezes might be impacting the timeline for this role. However, I do know that the EY-Parthenon office is actively hiring, at least in London, so it’s worth staying optimistic. If it helps, you could also consider reaching out to your recruiter or point of contact to politely follow up for any updates on the hiring process.

Best of luck!

Hi Evelina, thank you. Good to hear that they're still actively recruiting in London. Hopefully my case will turn out to be something great.

Two months without any feedback is definitely unusual. By now, you would typically have received either a rejection letter or notification that you're on the waitlist. Have you reached out to the recruiter for an update on your application? That should be your first step. If the recruiter doesn’t respond, it’s probably best to move on and focus your efforts elsewhere.

Hi Eric, yes I did consistently follow up and was did received an update with a potential offer, pending final approvals, and it got delayed due to tight deadlines the hiring team is facing + holiday seasons/
