They have my back
Everyone gets partnered with a mentor — my EY Counselor is amazing. She offers great advice and she’s been an important part of my progress. She encouraged me to go for a promotion and opened doors for me with senior partners.
Widen your net

3 tips to build bounce-back
1. Take time to recharge
