Additional information

For a Technology Consulting Grad Programme, when assessing students how much falls down to technical ability, and how much falls down to soft skills, fit with EY and interest in technology? I am super passionate about tech, and I want to combine it with consulting. I am in the process now of learning 'hardcore' coding and technical abilities, but I have the soft skills and interest and desire to learn on my side. So I would like to know more about the profile of your typical successful tech consultant grad.

Hi Andrei, for Technology Consulting it's more focused on an interest and passion for technology alongside the application process rather than coding abilities.
