    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I was involved in a wide variety of work, from going on client calls, writing up reports, and working on excel. On a day-to-day I would generally be working on a specific piece of work throughout the day interspersed with various calls.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I have learnt a huge amount, firstly about how an organisation like EY operates (ie. the breakdown of work, how different teams cooperate for clients etc.). I have also learnt a great deal about employment tax, with very little knowledge going in. The team were super kind and generous with their time to help me learn as much as I could about the area. My Excel skills have also definitely improved.

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
