Behavioral Other
I get iv session with senior manager, pretty chill, he talk about himself first so u kind of feel less nervous. It goes around 50 minutes, and I really suggest you to ask questions at the end, some of it maybe like, "since u already work quite long in EY, what do you like working at EY that make u stay?" or "regarding our iv today, is there anything u think i should improve" (trust me they like this question). Since it associates positions, he doesn't really ask technical stuff like acc standard bla bla, since u dont work yet. But they will definitely ask about internship experience and this is where u should prepare deeply, not just tell about experience but need more context in it like, the audit procedures, what have u done, why u do it, how u do it. BE PASSIONATE ABOUT IT, they want to see whether u really want this job or just try and error.

Case Behavioral Technical
My first interview was with two experienced audit associates/seniors and included a case. It was a pretty easy interview, mostly about showing interest in the role and talking about my motivation. The second interview was with the Group Leader, where we went through my résumé in depth and I got technical auditing questions. I haven’t heard anything back from them in more than six weeks.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Why do you want to work as an auditor? How do you handle stress? What’s your experience? What’s your education?
