Hi there,

Here are the application deadlines for the Big Four companies:

EY applications now open, closing 30th November
PWC apply via UCAS process so deadline of 31st January
Deloitte applications are open (although it does not say when applications close so I would recommend getting in as quickly as possible) https://apply.deloitte.co.uk/UKEarlyCareers
KPMG applications not open at the moment (most likely will open in January)

Hope that helps, let me know if you need anything else.

Just to add there are 2 forms for PwC:
-Bright start which opened already
-Flying start which is a sponsored degree

No they are doing technology degrees. Most of them have a banking/accounting/finance apprenticeship programme and a technology apprenticeship programme also. Which type were you interested in?

Heyy, I applied for Deloitte Ey and PwC (school leaver not the degree apprenticeship) KPMG isn’t open which sucks cus it’s my first choice

i got rejected from EY
I’m waiting to be accepted for the last stage for the rest of them, PwC assessments are horrible, I actually cried at the first assessment and I just gave up at the last task. But miraculously i passed it 💀. The interview was also shite it was like 12 questions related to the role I picked but I didn’t know anything about the role so… 🤣🤣🤣
hopefully I passed both I doubt I did, I’m only using it as practice for when KPMG opens cus that’s literally the only company I like

If you’re looking for roles in London, they’ve closed Audit, and I don’t think there’s any tech roles for Deloitte

Omgg well done! I applied to those 3 too but only response is deloitte and I have to do the job simulation which I've been procastinating but the other 2 haven't gotten back to me but no instant rejection, the fact you got a reply from those and a interview is good!

Applied to all of them. EY immediate rejection after assessment which I found ridiculously hard compared to all other apprenticeships. Deloitte and KPMG completed assessments. PWC done video interview not heard back yet.

Did my PWC interview 2 weeks ago! I haven’t heard of anyone yet that passed the EY assessment but I’ve seen they’re notoriously bad

Awh, Ey rejected me after 5 days, I think my interview was shite that’s why, Deloitte rejected me. Pwc has been ghosting everyone and KPMG I’m still waiting
