So when I did my experience day there wasnt a partner that was available which was offputting. So I later had to do one over video call which is probably more likely what you'll experience. To prepare, I had taken the guidance notes and noted down anything important I felt was needed to answer any questions I knew about. Maybe try practising with someone in doing an interview as well, to get you ready for it. Also, have noted down any experiences you might feel important to highlight when speaking to them e.g. any volunteering experiences

Mine personally did not, but it is useful to know all these experiences and how they may become useful in asking questions

For preparation, I'd say know your strengths and your motivations for why you want to join EY and that particular service line. It would be helpful to have done some research about EY and the service lines
