Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The event spanned two days, beginning with an online session attended by all students. The first day was filled with motivational speeches from EY Panelists and included breakout rooms dedicated to our respective service lines. Here, we delved into the specifics of each service line and engaged with EY employees.
The second day took place in person at the Canary Wharf office in London. It featured a blend of networking opportunities and insights into EY culture and values. It involved the chance to interact closely with associates and senior managers, gaining firsthand insights into their roles and approaches within EY.
The final part of the second day was a mock assessment, which proved to be the highlight, testing our capabilities. Overall, the entire experience provided invaluable insights into the workings of EY.
