allow it, why do u wanna work for EY anyway, its way better to work for a bank. Do you really wanna work for them, do u know what it is they actually do lol, its basically the most boring kind of work possible with **** money.

I'd prefer not to mention location:smile:
Nope mate, EY AC structure is different.
It will consist of written and group exercises and that's all. But when coming to details of these exercises, I am really keen to know them.
Really? So ther will be no role play or lunch and interview??... Do you know the success rate of going through AC.. I heard it was about 8% chance i hope this isnt right bcos its too small!

Sorry to go off topic but I was wondering if any of you could expand on what type of questions the EY what's your mind-set test is based on. I usually use Assessment Day but I am unsure of which company provides the the tests for EY so I'm confused on which types of tests to practice.

I take it you mean IB, where you work 80 hours a week and thus have basically no life but I guess you get payed more, per hour not so much.

I fully agree with you..IB's salary and work experience is much more better compated to Big4..but please don't forget about competition for IB jobs..thus, I just want to be safe and applied for Big4 where at least 1 out of 20 applicants get offer, whereas for IB only 1 out of 135 candidates is successful.

I wouldn't be so sure it's safer, for IB you don't have to go through all these elaborate tests and stages.

yes u don't, but you go through much tougher interviews...and competition for London IB is 1 vacancy for about 135 candidates

The interviews are certainly tough but out of interest, where did you find this statistic of 1:20 / 1:135 and Big 4 interviews/assessment being easier?
