Hi there, as the question implies - I would be interested - what was the first task you were assigned to, when you started working at EY (either as an experienced professional, or through a graduate scheme)

It required analysing client responses, creating charts to help readers visualise them and presenting them back to senior members of the client team

My first task was completing a market survey on funding levels for various pension schemes. This involved determining the level of assets held by pension schemes relative to the size of their future liabilities.

Was this task something you were working on yourself - or was this something you did it as part of a team?
