I'm interested in the Technology Risk Consultant role

Hi, I am in Tech Risk. Do you have any questions about the role?

I come from a Psychology background, and I was wondering whether this will affect my chances of landing this role? I would say 40% of my degree involves maths and working with SPSS.

No not at all! Everyone in my team comes from a very different backgrounds with very different degrees. We are trained from scratch within the programme and there is no assumed prior knowledge.

Just to pitch in - about 85% of my tax team came from a non relevant background. i.e. a degree in a different non related subject.

That's great to hear. Thank you both for answering my question. Do you have any tips for the interview process? Or if there is any training that I can do to increase the chance of being successful?

Yes, practice is key. Find some more information about application tips here: https://www.ey.com/uk/strengths

Thank you Ryan.

I did a lot of practice on the numerical reasoning part during my application process, there are many online resources available to search for for example. I.e. reading and understanding graphs, interpreting data etc

Nicolle, as a Technology Risk Consultant, what was the biggest and best surprise that you could share with new joiners?

Thank you Ryan! I just passed my numerical test yesterday but I appreciate your guidance

Is there any specific IT systems specific to EY that I should familiarise myself with prior to joining / attending an assessment centre?

I think one of the best areas of the role is getting to work with a range of clients and interacting with them on a regular basis meaning that you get to speak to a range of people everyday
