Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Assistant tax advisor that takes on a range of Admin and Ad-Hoc duties for the team on a regular basis. I assist on projects, taking on the Admin tasks and drafting technicals for review by seniors and management before being delivered to the client.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
Great learning experience, first few months were slow but things have really picked up. Usually never bored or without work.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Proficient use in AI.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Internal trainings are structured well with future slots if a session/training is missed.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
Received support during stress related sick leave, from my counsellor and coach.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
Good support, fast responses to communication/queries.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
Not too applicable, gives me confidence when performing my role but not technical knowledge that is applicable.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
Yes, however it is not too pushed in my team. Rather you have to go out yourself and find these social in the broader EY Firm.
