If you don’t ask don’t tell, would they contact your former employer to verify?

Should you report if you work on onlyfans?

No personal experience but from what I've heard it really depends on the job.

More likely to approve a yoga class than a financial consulting side gig.

Omg you must have a lot of time in your hands. I can barely have a life, let alone get a second job. I don’t know how to do it but best of luck :)

If you have time for a second job, let them know so they can fill up your extra time with more work.

Had no problem with it but I work at a restaurant on weekends, they really just don’t want you in a position where you would be competing with the company or having to consistently miss work

They don't want Independence conflicts. I don't think they are withholding approvals because they don't think you can manage your time. They don't want you employed by someone we audit, or doing things like signing tax/audit documents, etc.

There is a system via Independence you submit this to. I did this a couple of years ago when I started teaching a college class at night. I can't remember where you link to this -- check with your Talent person. Once Independence clears it, you need to get BU approval via email.

What have happened? Were you able to keep your secondary employment while working at EY?

I would think youd have to get cleared by the ethics and compliance department to make sure you don’t impair the firm’s independence. Even if you’re not in audit, they don’t play around with that

Knowing big four demands (assuming you’re a client server), how would you remotely have time for both?!

Hello, folks! I wonder if you have any advice/info for a person who is looking for an "investment associate" role in Dubai.

I have experience in TMT, retail, Energy and Utility and other industries. Currently I'm living in Eastern Europe.

I left one of the B4 as an S1 and joined another B4 an S2 in consulting. I have an opportunity to move back as an audit manager which would be an early promotion by over a year.

Would this move make sense if partner was a potential end goal?

Note: I don’t hate audit and could do it.

I’ve been applying for jobs now for a few months, and haven’t had much luck so far… feels like even if I get (promising) calls back from HR/Recruiters the timeframe for the call back is so long that I have no idea anymore if I’m even being considered.
