  • 9. Would you recommend EY to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • It not only looks good in your CV but the skills acquired from this experience is exceptional. Networking skills for example e.g. meeting new people that we would have otherwise not met.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to EY?
  • I would inform them that they should not get daunted by the application process. I remember being told that the interview would last for at least 20 minute which felt pretty long before actually getting interviewed. However, it went very quick and the questions asked are not asked to trick you but to get an honest answer.
