Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We started off at 10 am and used Teams to listen to presentations from employees working in the different services lines in EY. We had the opportunity to ask them questions about the firm and generally gained insight into how the firm works.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It felt a bit overwhelming. There are so many service likes doing similar work and it feels like a lot of pressure to decide which particular service line I would like to work in in such a short period of time.
