Risk Advisory Intern

June - August 2018 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

I loved being able to work next to top professionals in the industry. I also loved the fact that I was able to get that "Big4" experience to add to my resume. Ernst & Young treated me exceptionally, it exceeded all my expectations!

What I wish was different

I wished the internship would have lasted longer than 3 months.

Advice

Having a great GPA only gets you the first couple of interviews. By the end of the interviewing process, employers only want to know if you are a person that they would enjoy to work with. Show employers that you are eager to learn, available, and passionate about the company!

Transfer Pricing Intern

June - August 2018 • St. Louis, MO

What I liked

It was a challenging role in which I was trusted with work that actual transfer pricing staff do. The company is amazing and gave us traveling experience. We trained in Chicago,IL, at the beginning of the summer and at the end of summer there was a national intern conference in Orlando Florida, where we got to go to Disney for free as well. There were paid for lunches and happy hours, and overall it was an incredible experience.

What I wish was different

I had trouble with my superiors not giving me timely feedback so I didn't do as well as I could have if I had gotten that feedback.

Advice

It is a hard job, not a walk in the park. If you are working for EY you have to apply what you learned in school and keep up with a fast paced work, corporate environment.

Risk Advisory Intern

June - August 2018 • Seattle, WA

What I liked

I enjoyed working with different technology clients, and having an internal look into their financials and operations. The work was plentiful for the external audiet, and I felt I was making a contribution towards reaching company goals.

What I wish was different

Depending on the client, some of the work and expectations were ambiguous, especially for interns. It would have been helpful to have clearer expectations for the work we were doing, and ways to ask for more work without feeling like you were bothering other staff.

Advice

Ask your manager and the other staff you are working with their preferred communication style from the beginning. Some prefer e-mail, instant messaging, or meeting in person briefly. It is necessary to know that from the start so you can get your questions answered, while still respecting the other person's time.
