Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Technology Solutions Delivery in Financial Services, particularly the insurance sector. Day to day I help insurers with their technology. This can vary massively from role to role. I have helped with PMO, contingency planning, business process mapping etc.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes! As long as you build your professional relationships and show that you are capable, you will be given ample responsibility. The key here is to really work on your network within your team. I have always felt that the work I was given was a great mixture of enough responsibility to learn and develop and not too much where it can become overwhelming and difficult to manage.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

I have learnt so much over since starting my placement. I have felt that EY is really a great place to start your career. You are surrounded by so many industry experts, who are all friendly and happy to help you develop. I have gained so much technical knowledge about technology and the sector I work in.

There is a great support structure at EY. You have a buddy, a counsellor, a grad champion, peer groups etc. In addition to this support structure for new joiners, there is no shortage of people who are friendly, supportive etc. Once again the key is to put yourself out there and reach out to those people.
