for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Location list: New York, Jericho, Hoboken, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Irvine (maybe location info). Should we include as a paragraph? It's location metadata; we can include in a short
maybe under About the role? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we can include in a
maybe at top. - Intro paragraph: "At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence. We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world. Will you shape the future or will the future shape you?" This is about the role/company. - Then description of EY, FSO, SALT team, Tax Senior role, responsibilities, etc. We need sections: About the role (maybe intro), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. Let's extract: About the role: Could be the introductory paragraphs describing the role, team, purpose. We'll include. Responsibilities: There's a list: "Key responsibilities include: Identifying opportunities for tax optimization, credits, and refund recovery, as well as exposure reduction. Managing indirect tax strategies, compliance processes, remediation, controversies, and corrective filings. Supporting tax process reviews and technology transformation to enhance service offerings." Also later: "Your Key Responsibilities You'll likely spend most of your time on a diverse array of projects, responsibilities, and tasks, with a focus on tax controversy and advisory matters. To be successful in the role, you'll leverage your knowledge of state and local tax concepts and law while working in a highly collaborative culture where listening to and sharing information with colleagues is essential.

We need to extract bullet list items for responsibilities. The posting has many sentences; we can turn them into
- items.
But we must not repeat content unnecessarily. We can combine similar points.
Better to extract distinct responsibility statements:
- Identifying opportunities for tax optimization, credits, and refund recovery, as well as exposure reduction.
- Managing indirect tax strategies, compliance processes, remediation, controversies, and corrective filings.
- Supporting tax process reviews and technology transformation to enhance service offerings.
- Spending most of time on diverse array of projects with focus on tax controversy and advisory matters.

- Making decisions based on broad policies, applying personal knowledge and experience to resolve issues.

Ideally, you’ll also have Experience communicating with clients about complicated tax questions and assembling and preparing the information necessary to respond to information document requests.

These could be under Requirements or Skills.
Qualifications: Might be similar to Requirements; but we can treat Requirements as qualifications (education, experience). Skills as separate.
We need to decide sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Skills (technical and soft skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Benefits: The posting mentions: "We offer a comprehensive compensation and benefits package where you’ll be rewarded based on your performance and recognized for the value you bring to the business. The base salary range for this job is: ... In addition, our Total Rewards package includes medical and dental coverage, pension and 401(k) plans, and a wide range of paid time off options.

You’ll also be granted time off for designated EY Paid Holidays, Winter/Summer breaks, Personal/Family Care, and other leaves of absence when needed to support your physical, financial, and emotional well-being."
Thus Benefits section: medical/dental coverage, pension/401(k), paid time off, flexible vacation policy, holidays, etc.
Pay: base salary ranges given.
Schedule: The hybrid model: "Our expectation is for most people in external, client serving roles to work together in person 60% of the time over the course of an engagement, project or year." That's schedule info (hybrid, 60% in-person). Also maybe travel required.
Thus we can include Schedule section with that statement.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown fences.

We must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to ensure we don't repeat content. We'll try to condense. Let's craft About the role paragraph: combine intro and description of EY, FSO, SALT team, Tax Senior role. Paragraph: "At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.

That seems good. Now Responsibilities: We'll list bullet points as earlier. We need to ensure we don't duplicate content that appears elsewhere (like "Make decisions based on broad policies" appears also in Skills maybe). But okay.
