The Role
My placement year was excellent, I developed numerous skills and felt like I was able to make a difference
EY has the friendliest staff I have ever met, everyone was welcoming and willing to answer my questions
Given fantastic support by all the managers and senior members
I was given the right amount of work each day, some days were more busy than others but on the whole balanced
I was given a lot of responsibilities during my placement and given whole areas of the audit to look after.
The skills I gained from doing the placement year are extremely helpful and have made me more focused and confident.
