Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I was part of the Discover EY – Women in the Leadership tax team. I think this was an amazing experience. It gave me an insight into tax and the different lines of services. The team members and the graduates were very helpful. I had several questions about relocation, work-life balance and qualifications regarding tax. The best thing is they also consider participants for the summer internship program next year. Most importantly the case study taught me a lot. I recommend everyone to apply to this programme and kick start their career with this amazing opportunity!
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Understanding the business and potential roles can be a challenging but exciting experience. It requires a combination of research, analysis, and communication skills. To understand a business, you need to research its history, market position, products/services, and competitors. You also need to understand the industry trends, consumer behavior, and economic factors that can affect the business. I think this wonderful experience at EY gave me a lot of information regarding this and it will help me in the future.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
Firstly, as I have mentioned there are many interactions between the team and the graduates this improved my communication skills and made me very confident. We had a session where we were supposed to interact with other participants and talk about our course and our backgrounds. This made me very confident when communicating with others. A team assignment also improved my team working skills. I have developed these skills further and made connections on LinkedIn too!

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Some companies have a culture that emphasizes innovation, collaboration, and risk-taking, while others prioritize efficiency, structure, and stability. The atmosphere of a company can be influenced by factors such as the physical workspace, the communication style, and the relationships between colleagues.
EY had a perfect combination of both. The insight was virtual and lasted for 2 days so I don’t have much to say but the 2 days were quite fun and informational
