Question 1
What do you expect to learn from this internship and how would it help in your future career goal?
Through this internship at EY, I aim to gain hands-on experience with audit procedures, financial reporting standards, and internal controls, while learning how to apply theoretical accounting concepts in a real-world, client-facing environment. Working alongside seasoned professionals on live engagements will help me build critical thinking, attention to detail, and ethical judgment—all of which are foundational to a successful career in accounting and assurance. This experience will not only deepen my technical skills but also align me with EY’s culture of excellence and integrity, supporting my long-term goal of becoming a trusted advisor in the audit and advisory space
Not bad it was like 3 rounds and it wasn’t very technical there was one case interview and all the interview people were really nice and flexible it was a good interview
round one- with a Senior or a Manager. This involves deep dives into your CV, a technical check on sustainability concepts, and a conversational fit assessment.
