In my current position, what I find most fulfilling is the perfect balance between the responsibility I am entrusted with and the invaluable mentorship I receive. Whenever I request for more responsibility, the team responds by allowing me to take ownership of specific areas. This not only challenges me to grow professionally and technically, but it also fosters a sense of accomplishment as I feel I had a greater contribution to the team's success. Equally important is the mentorship I receive, which has been instrumental in my continuous learning and career advancement. Strategy and Transactions at EY has a very flat organisational structure, enabling us to work alongside very experienced individuals. This provides the opportunity to to take in years of experience through just a few conversations. The combination of responsibility and mentorship creates a dynamic and supportive work environment, encouraging both personal and professional growth.

During my first year, my team provided me with the opportunity to perform a specific analysis and subsequently transform it into a data analytics enabler - this is when you generalise an analysis, making it adaptable, portable, and usable across multiple projects without the need to start from scratch each time. I am very grateful to my team for that opportunity as it required them to trust the work I did. The output was then featured in our Transaction Diligence (TD) Handbook which spotlights key moments in our TD practice over the year, and now further iterations are in development.
