Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend EY to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to EY
Ensure that you go into the process with a positive mindset and a willingness to learn. Do not be put off from applying if you are not from a financial background as the majority of other interns I spoke to studied completed unrelated degrees. You get given plenty of support within the training and you are not expected to know everything straight away.
