Dress Code E&Y

I am starting work with Ernst and Young next week and cannot find anything on what their dress code is, anybody have any idea what is appropriate? Thanks!

Wouldn't it be business casual? Do you have college because I think it's casual clothing for that.

Yea I think its casual for college but I mean for round the office, I get the impression its business casual from what I saw people wear at my interviews but just wanted to find out what is appropriate

Your impression was right - it's casual for college, business casual for the office.

Where are you going to be based?

Up in Manchester, yes. I've got a uni friend who's based at the Cambridge office - we started last year, so you should have some good company there - once you get out of college, of course :wink:

! Why Cambridge, out of interest - were you at uni there?

I assume you're taking ICAS exams - if so, good luck with the TC course (it's not *that* bad, once you get your head round some of the new ideas :smile:

Bit of common sense is required here.

Can't say anything about E&Y but from my time at another of the big 4...

1. If you're at a client's site it is always suit and tie.
2. If you're at the office then no tie is needed - though still the suit.

You'll know for yourself after the first few weeks - for the office as I was always just in a shirt rather than the full get-up I would quite often just come in in a coat and put it in my locker.
