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. Also mention hybrid model schedule: expectation 60% in person. Thus we have sections: - About the role: could be intro paragraphs describing EY, FSO, SALT team, role overview. - Responsibilities: list of key responsibilities (the bullet points). Could combine the "Key responsibilities include:" and later bullet points. - Requirements: maybe qualifications: Bachelor's degree, 2-4 years experience, etc. - Skills: Skills and Attributes For Success list. - Benefits: medical/dental, pension/401k, paid time off, flexible vacation, holidays etc. - Pay: base salary ranges. - Schedule: hybrid model expectation 60% in person, regular travel as required. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each section has substantive content. We must not repeat job title. Use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like location list, salary ranges, etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, scam warning, application instructions, cookie/navigation. So remove "Apply today", "To make the most of your application experience", etc. Also remove "EY | Building a better working world", etc. We need to keep location list maybe as part of About the role or a separate paragraph. Let's craft. First, About the role: include location list and intro about EY, FSO, SALT team, role as Tax Senior, indirect tax advisory, etc. We'll combine paragraphs. Responsibilities: list bullet points from "Key responsibilities include:" and the later bullet points (Your Key Responsibilities, As a Senior in Indirect Tax...). We need to ensure we don't duplicate but we can combine. Requirements: Bachelor's degree, 2-4 years experience, etc. Skills: list from Skills And Attributes For Success. Benefits: medical/dental, pension/401k, paid time off, flexible vacation, holidays, etc. Pay: base salary ranges. Schedule: hybrid model expectation 60% in person, regular travel as required. We must not include sections like Qualifications if we already have Requirements; but we can have Requirements and Skills separate. The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can include Qualifications if we have content; but we already have Requirements covering qualifications. Could also have Qualifications separate but might duplicate. Safer to include Requirements and maybe Qualifications not needed. But we can include Qualifications if we have content like "Bachelor’s degree required" etc. However that is also requirements. To avoid duplication, we can put qualifications under Requirements and skip Qualifications heading. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section maybe called Requirements. But they gave list of possible headings; we can choose to include only those with real content. So we will include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 7 sections. Now craft HTML. We need to ensure we don't include any markdown fences. Let's write. First, About the role:
