I wouldn't say that one is better than the other. You will probably enjoy one of the service lines more than the other depending on your skill set and areas of interest.

Tax, Technology Advisor

Hi Jenny, I am on a 4 year apprenticeship in Tax, Technology & Transformation and I do a level 7 ICAEW qualification (equivalent to a Master's Degree), however, this may vary across different sub-service lines and location (e.g. indirect tax etc.). All information should be available on the EY careers website.
