5/5
We work to advise clients of their tax. Whether this is compliance tasks or longer transformation projects which we advise on
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I have really enjoyed it so far. I think I am able to be myself and show my personality at work which I think is something that is very important.

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes i have learnt many technical skills as well as soft skills for example, how to deal with other team members and clients

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It has been clear in the structure of when we are in work and when we are out of work for studies/internal trainings.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I feel so far I have been given good support especially from within my team who are very understanding when we have exams coming up
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
The teaching has been really good, even when online. Though it is definitely for effective when there in person as it is much easier to stay engaged.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
We can apply some of the technical knowledge learnt. It also really helps with time management when studying for multiple exams at once
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes this has been really great and so far I have managed to get involved with football, paddle and volleyball. Our team also has socials usually based around games which is fun

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend EY to a friend?
Yes
Why?
My experience so far has been really good and everyone I have met, both in my team, and other new starters have been really normal and lovely.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to EY?
Just be yourself, especially once you get to the final stages, as at that point they are just checking if you would be a good fit/if they would like to work with someone like you.
