Can you tell me more about the law training contracts?

There are people on LinkedIn who are trainee solicitors, but it doesn't seem to be an annual graduate opportunity (or I just missed it!)

    Can you please guide me on the process of the assessment centre, how many stages are involved?

    Hi Hana, we do have an EY Law department in the UK however we haven't taken on any graduates in this as of yet as far as I'm aware. This may be something we look to do in the future but that's why you won't be able to see anything on the website yet for September 2021 vacancies

    Thanks. That's helpful. Is there an alert or mailing list that I can join?

    Hi Maryam. Nice to virtually meet you! Our EY Experience Day (assessment centre) involves, in order, a Numerical/Written exercise first thing, followed by Innovate (a group assessment) and Think (an individual exercise). Let me know if you have any further questions on the assessment day or any other part of the process

    Unfortunately Hana as it's not a live role we don't have any Register your Interest links for Law roles. I would just advise to keep an eye on the website for any updates and also our social media pages for EY UK Careers which will have updates. Our applications for 2022 roles will open around August/September time of this year.

    Hi Team,

    Thank you for arranging the live chat session. I am currently pursuing MSc in Business Analytics.
    I have an industrial placement opportunity that starts from Feb 2022 onwards. Do EY have any openings during that time. If yes when can I start my application?

    Apologies then Ajo - timings not match - as you'll need to join in July and spend your entire 3rd year at university on placement with us.

    Excellent! Yes, this role is still live and accepting applications but I would apply ASAP as the cut off is the end of this month. My tip for the application process would be to watch this video first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEmBJ0T-teg&feature=youtu.be

    Hi does the Mobility and Reward Graduate Programme come under the Tax business area
    ?

  • Anonymous

    Hi Ranvir, yes it does! It sits under Tax but also is very consulting focused.

    Hi Rachel, I've originally applied for Tax Technology & Transformation, but I have only completed the first stage, i.e. the application form. Would I be able to change to Mobility and Reward, as this was not available when I applied?

    Can you please tell me why you enjoy working at EY?

    Hi Maryam, I enjoy working at EY because it's a really welcoming and inclusive place to work. I feel they genuinely care about my development and wellbeing and I have made some really great friends!

    Would a lack of relevant work experience put me at a disadvantage in applying? I have experience doing part-time jobs in retail, supermarkets etc but not much when it comes to accountancy or tax

  • Anonymous

    Hi Ranvir, you do not require any relevant work experience to work at EY. We know for our graduate roles that students are coming straight from university. Also you need to think that the part-time work you have will have helped you relevant some relevant skills, eg, time-keeping, responsibility, communication, teamworking etc!
