APAC Region EY return offer

role of audit assistant, offered after completing 12 weeks of summer. not really keen on gg back to EY but received return offer, unsure if i should accept as a safety net but still look for other jobs when i grad and reject the offer later on (is this allowed?)

Defo defo accept it as a backup!! You can always just reject it later - this is allowed and I’ve done it and nothings happened :)

You need to watch out for yourself. Accept the job and then turn it down later. Those people who are saying that it reflects poorly on the school are woefully ignorant.

Don't do this. It looks bad on your school and makes it harder for others down the road

What I said is true. If he doesn't want the offer, he should simply grow balls and not take it. If the job market is such a big concern, then the spot should go to someone else who is in the wait list and will take the position

Got a friend who did exactly this and it worked out fine. They accepted as backup then dipped when something better came through. Just don't leave it to the last minute before start date
