Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We got to listen to and ask questions to different women working at EY in various roles and service lines, as well as hearing from guest speakers Bianca Miller-Cole and June Sarpong.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was good to hear about the business and potential roles, but I would have preferred if we were able to hear more detail about different projects that the staff had been involved in.
