1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Every day is different within consulting! The one thing that is consistent from day-to-day is utilizing problem-solving skills to ensure the client remains happy and all of their needs and requirements are met.

10/10

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have developed my communication and teamwork skills. I have also become more reliable as a team member and as a person. That's not even to mention the technical knowledge I have gained from all of the technology solutions I have helped develop

10/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy it very much! I get to work with interesting people every day across a multitude of service lines and areas of the business. No two days are alike.

10/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

From EY's side, it is very well structured and I know exactly what is expected of me on any given day. However, the University I study at is less organized, and key details such as deadlines or on which days I should be studying are less clear.

7/10

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

I feel fully supported by my employer in all aspects of my home and work life

10/10

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

I feel fully supported by the training provider. My "Coach" is easy to contact and we have regular touchpoints.

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

The qualification is very relevant - for example, as soon as I finished the module on Cyber Security, I was rolled onto a Cyber Security transformation for one of EY's clients

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are lots of social activities including social gatherings to attend and sports teams to join

10/10

9a. Would you recommend EY to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I have friends that are very interested in both finance and technology. This program is a perfect blend of both worlds for anybody that wants to enter either industry

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to EY?

Do your research and make sure you know exactly what you are applying for. Also, come to any interviews prepared with questions for the interviewer. Remember, interviews are not only for the company to see if you are right for them, it is for you to determine whether the company is right for you
