Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
It was a very engaging two-day programme giving an insight to what it looks like working with EY, specifically in the field of tax. Various women leaders in EY gave brief presentations to what they do on a daily basis and encouraged everyone to ask questions no matter how big or small.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very overwhelming. Especially when everyone else in the programme is just as eager to learn as I am and not a lot of spots are available for conversion to the summer internship.
