EY-P pushes some graduate start dates back by almost a year (Financial Times)... thoughts?

From the article : The firm told recent graduates who had originally expected to start work for EY-Parthenon this autumn that some of them would now not be required until July 2024, almost a year late. The decision was “based on emerging business conditions and our assessment of our business needs”, according to an email from EY’s campus recruiting department, which was seen by the Financial Times. Its email this week said it was accelerating start dates for some, but further deferring start dates for others. “Your early experience in the practice is important for setting you on a strong trajectory, and we believe that you’ll have a better opportunity to grow, develop and progress in the practice with a July start date,” it told disappointed recruits.
