Hi Pete, thanks for your question. EY looks mainly at the person themselves, including how they would fit into the business. We have many interns from different backgrounds with different experiences therefore there is not a specific attribute that EY look for in terms of experience.

Thanks Sidd. One of the many avenues I have in mind currently is working in consultancy. Can I ask how your experience has been thus far, both with EY and working as a consultant in general.

Moreover, a question aimed more towards recruitment, is there any visits to the University of Manchester next academic year? With the impact of Covid, will these events still take place?
Would these open visits at specific offices take place? I'm not sure if that is the official name, but where students are invited to certain offices for an experience of the company and to get a 'feel' for the environment.

I have been working for close to a year now. I have really enjoyed my experience so far, i have be able to work on many different clients on varied projects therefore i am able to do something different every day.
In terms of EY generally, i have found that everyone is really helpful and genuinely care about everyone else. I would say one of the best things working in EY is the people you get to work with and the teams you are part of.

I believe for University visits - there will be virtual events set up till at least the end of this year. I am not sure going forward if this may change.
