Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
We got the chance to shadow several people in the office, looking into what valuations are, how they are done and what the next step is after completing a valuation. We had the opportunity to work with people and then did an individual case study, applying the learnings from shadowing.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
To start with, we were eased into the internship and given lessons on valuations. As we learned more, we were given more responsibility. For instance, I had to work on a client project and deliver a presentation to the Executives in the team which they were going to then take to a Partner. We also had to work on individual case studies to test our understanding of what we had learned over the first couple of weeks in the internship.
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
I think it is important to show a willingness to learn about new things. A lot of the work you do during the internship is based around things you won't learn at school/university, and you are not expected to know it either, so don't fixate on that. Ensure you know a lot about EY and why you want the specific role you apply for. For me, I felt the role and company were the right fit for me for a number of reasons, which made my interview a lot easier.
