Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Networking with colleagues, getting to know what their work entails and getting involved with the work they do. Helping out with projects and supporting in any way you can whilst learning on the job. It also involved shadowing meetings etc.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given responsibility but knowing the fact that it would be double checked and that there is time to make further corrections was helpful. If I was stuck, I also knew that I could go to someone for help.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I've learnt to become better at time management as having multiple things to do at the same time with certain deadlines allowed me to work faster. The ability to pick up information quickly is also key which I feel I have utilised well.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend EY to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to EY
EY has a good work environment and although it is part of the Big Four, there's no need to be scared. It gives you good exposure and people are very understanding of the fact that you are a beginner. I would say to go with an open mind, work hard, meet lots of people and try to get the most out of it. And be yourself!
