  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • Although salary is not something I had as a priority when choosing which firm to go for, but I believe that EY has one of the highest pay for the SL programme compared to the other Big 4 which is great. I live with my parents so I do not incur any living costs, however EY does not reimburse for your daily commute which is understandable.
