How does life and work differ at the London offices compared to other locations?
Additional information
I am applying for the Leading Women opportunity but am yet to decide which location. My family live in Bristol and I am at university in Birmingham but I am aware that London is the largest UK office. I would really appreciate any advice you could give me with regards to opportunities and life at different locations, thank you!

Hi Verity. Congratulations on deciding to apply to EY! As you are likely aware EY is a global firm and from my personal experience (in the Birmingham Office) the opportunities are endless! Most opportunities are presented to us via email and in this new technological age, we aren't disadvantaged by location.

Hi Jai! Thank you so much for your swift response. That is fantastic to hear that you enjoy being in Birmingham. Have you had opportunities to work abroad?

Hi Verity. I recently undertook the Leading Women internship in June 2019 in the London Bridge office. From my experience, a lot of the activities we participated in were online via skype, meaning it did not matter which office you did the experience from. Hope this helps.

As my role is client facing I have had opportunities to go to different parts of the UK but not abroad yet - however it's only my 9th week haha! I know members of team who have travelled abroad this year to meet clients so it is definitely an option to us. Many people within EY embark on secondments to other EY offices all across the world so if that is what you're interested in, EY will support this!

Hi Charlotte. It is brilliant to hear from someone who had undertaken the Leading Women programme, thank you very much for sharing your experience. It's fascinating how technology has changed the way businesses function and opened opportunities! Also Jai thank you very much. I love the idea of having a main office but also being able to travel so I am most excited to hear about EY's support with this.
