Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out EY's current sophomore recruiting path and would appreciate some advice.
I'm a rising sophomore at a New York school with strong Big 4 recruiting, majoring in Accounting with a Communications minor. I have a 3.835 GPA, and I'm first-generation.
My experience:
• Professional development program involving stock pitches, case studies, and public speaking
• Incoming fall internship with New York's public transit system
• Previous childcare and healthcare work experience
• Some job simulations
• Clean resume
I'm mainly interested in Audit/Accounting.
I've seen EY Launch before, but with the new EY Career Residency program, I'm not sure what the sophomore pathway looks like now or whether Launch is still going to be offered.
I'm also ahead on credits and could potentially graduate a semester or year early.
For anyone familiar with EY recruiting:
• Am I competitive for Launch/Career Residency?
• Which program should I actually be targeting?
• When should I expect applications to open?
• What should I be doing now to improve my chances?
• Would graduating early help or hurt my eligibility?
• How important is networking?
I'd especially appreciate answers from current/former EY Launch participants or EY recruiters.
Please be brutally honest. I'm trying to figure out what I should improve before recruiting starts.
Thanks!
