Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I enjoyed my time at EY and gained a real insight into a corporate job at a professional but friendly firm. I learnt about personal and private tax which involved conversing with HMRC and other tax teams. I met a lot of the team, from graduates up to partners. All work given was at an appropriate level and you were supported throughout.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Responsibility was somewhat limited and work was often hard to find at points when members of the team did not have work at the appropriate level or little work in general.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
