We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description about EY, objective, opportunity, responsibilities, skills, qualifications, what we look for, what we offer (salary, benefits). We must not repeat job title. Use for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have responsibilities (Your Key Responsibilities). We have Skills And Attributes For Success (skills). We have To qualify for the role (requirements/qualifications). We have What We Look For (maybe "What we look for" could be part of Skills or separate but we can combine). We have What We Offer You (benefits and salary). Salary is specified with ranges per location; we can include Pay section. Benefits: medical and dental coverage, pension and 401(k) plans, paid time off. So Benefits section. Schedule? Not mentioned. So omit Schedule. Also maybe include About the role? The initial paragraphs about EY and objective could be "About the role" or "About EY". The instruction: Use

The instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have About the role (intro). Then Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. Possibly combine Requirements and Qualifications? They are separate headings but we can include both if content. The posting has "To qualify for the role, you must have ..." that's qualifications/requirements. Also there is "Skills And Attributes For Success". Also "What We Look For" maybe similar to skills but we can incorporate into Skills. We'll avoid duplication.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, cookie/navigation, etc. Must remove duplicated lines.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's extract content:
About the role: The introductory paragraphs: "Location: Anywhere in Country At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.

We can keep that as About the role.
Responsibilities: The "Your Key Responsibilities" bullet list (actually paragraphs). We need to convert to - . The content includes many sentences; we can break each sentence or each responsibility into list items. Must preserve all substantive info; we can split by sentences but ensure we don't lose detail.
