EY Australia Graduate Stories

Don’t keep turning up to a job that you’re not enjoying because it will reflect in the quality of your work and impact your personal life.

Technology was something I was always passionate about during university even when it wasn’t something I was looking to build a career in.

My favourite part of my experience so far is being able to work closely with EY clients to help build resilience into their increasingly large and complex IT systems, applications and infrastructures.

My cyber exposure across the last 2 years has been interesting and challenging for my career growth.

My areas of responsibility are mainly around auditing the accounts that are lower risk, due to the fact I’ve only had about 18 months experience.

Over the last 12 months, I have been able to take on more responsibilities relating to team planning and organising and further supporting the team wherever necessary.

Being in charge, I had to really challenge myself. It was hard to find my way through the legislation, but I knew my manager was there to help if I needed it.

I never thought I’d be working on justice issues and engaging with such a wide range of highly experienced and talented stakeholders. I’ve learned so much!

Within my first few weeks of work I was presenting to the CFO and COO of a $1.2 billion global entertainment company involved with some of my favourite movies.

As a graduate at EY, I’ve had more exposure to exciting engagements than I could ever have dreamed of.
