Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role varies depending on what team I am assisting; I primarily worked with our mobility and rewards teams.
For mobility, my day to day included:
- joining team meetings to determine what we are focusing on / aiming to achieve
- joining client calls / note taking - focused on internationally mobile clients who require tax returns for more than one country
- calling HMRC on behalf of clients - regarding their tax compliance
For Rewards, my day to day included:
- Joining team meetings
- IPO research for clients
- More incentive plan research to guide clients
- Create a comparison table regarding our key competitors and their solutions

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, lots of responsibility. Of course many tasks I completed required feedback and checking from my peers. But I was given full responsibility to communicate with a high up client, and our international teams.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend EY to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to EY
Just apply!!!!
I study History, and knew nothing about economics / tax, but I applied regardless and received the internship. EY has a great learning structure, so you do not need previous knowledge. As long as your CV / interview answers demonstrate enthusiasm, knowledge about EY, and evidence of your determination and curiosity then you will stand out.
