Tax Intern Review

Love the Tax. I enjoyed days that were busy far more than days that we’re quiet. The work itself was generally enjoyable however there can be lulls that can get boring. The team are very nice and easy good which made the internship a lot easier and more enjoyable. Overall hugely enjoyed the experience.

I felt like I was part of the team and any inputs I made were very much appreciated by the team. “Valued” is a strange word as the biggest benefit for the team was how I valued I was and how me working on projects allowed them to get the work done under budget.

Good counselling situation. Support in terms of knowledge was different but I was still over huge support. Everyone was happy to spend time helping me get to grips with the concepts as most of the tax legislation was very new to me. The buddy/counselling family situation allowed me to settle in quickly.

Some very hectic days and some more chill but that is to be expected in a project based work environment. When the level 1’s went back to college it became a bit more quiet and over summer I’ve been told it is always quiet anyway. Makes me wonder why there isn’t a winter programme.

As much responsibility as a grad would have. More than I thought prior to joining. Obviously when first joining there was less but it increased day on day as I gained more knowledge and integrated further into the team. It is not just printing and making coffee as you are actually working.

I study economics so no relevance to my degree. A few skills such as PowerPoint, word, Excel, Outlook etc etc were solidified but these are not things I would not have had otherwise. I can not think of a degree where learning tax legislation would actually be useful. But it is useful for a grad job.

There was nearly good bant with everyone in the office and there was no one who made me feel unwelcome or was unfriendly to me. Variety of social events helped with this. The comedown when football didn’t come home dampened the spirit of the office but can’t wait until it actually comes home in 2022.

A bit of a hectic and disorganised start as the sub division in tax that I had been allocated didn’t realise I was joining until a few days before. However this did not actually effect my enjoyment of the work. Given how project based the work was it’s difficult to comment on structure though.

Investing in a purely financial sense was nothing. Investing in terms of time was great. I felt like whenever I was assigned work someone would be on hand to talk through it or have a briefing or taking the time to allow me to learn from them. This was a very good part of the experience.

Like I’ve said before. Love. The. Tax. The fact that EY pays for your accountancy training is superb and is a real reason that I would accept a grad offer. Furthermore, the overall atmosphere would make me come back as well as the overall work that I would be doing.

Lots of social event and stuff like that. Away days and bonanzas were very good. Allowed me to good and have fun and have a few drinks with other members of the team so this helped me integrate into the team very well. Lunch time chatting is common and is really casual.

I lived at home for the entire internship so was at the expense of Bank of Sister so was very cheap. The only cost I had was cost of my annoying siblings. I think Manchester is fairly cheap compared to London however I think a “Manchester wage” is much needed.

I mean it’s a big city so there is no way that you can’t find something to do in Manchester. If you are going to live somewhere purely for the night life I think you need to re-evaluate your life choices, get a cat or something but I don’t know.

Flexi time bois. EZPZ to get involved in many activities outside of work. I was expecting the sweatshop long hour horror stories that you hear about but this wasn’t the case and it was actually very chill. Time off was easy to arrange so if you had something on you could attend.
