Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The insight gave detailed information about the service lines offered by EY and gave opportunity to speak with partners, associate partners, employees and graduates. There were also talks about EY's diversity and inclusion policy, as well as general skills sessions and talks from black individuals about their experiences in life and the world of work.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It helped me come to a better understanding of which business area I would like to go into, through the detailed descriptions and testimonies from guest speakers and panelists that worked in said business areas.
