Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role as a Business Consultant at EY has been dynamic and multifaceted, requiring a blend of analytical, strategic, and interpersonal skills to deliver value to clients. I would typically start the day with scheduled meetings or calls with clients/team to discuss project updates, gather requirements, or present findings and being to engage in discussions to understand client challenges and objectives. I would then usually monitor project timelines and deliverables, ensuring that tasks are completed on schedule and spend a good amount of time trying to coordinate with team members to assign responsibilities and track progress.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I would say at times I was given quite a lot of responsibility during my placement. My responsibility was focused particularly around managing timelines of client deliverables and ensuring the team were on track to meet deadlines.
