I recommend going on glass door and checking out behavioral interview questions. It’s REALLY basic stuff: strengths/weaknesses, times you worked with difficult people, time you had to take leadership, greatest accomplishment, etc. case study should be manageable. Back when I did it in 2016, they gave you a story about a business and you had to identify the risks (failure to separate finance and accounting roles, failure to have proper checks and balances, etc.) tbh it was pretty obvious stuff.

Just try to be as personable as possible. If you have a strong academic record and at least some sort of professional experience on the resume, they really just want to make sure you are a good culture fit.

Best of luck! I’ve been with EY since I interned in 2016. Great place to start your career (or stay for a while if you like it).

Focus on problem-solving and time management-related questions. You should also highlight your skills and strengths. Be confident and do not hesitate to ask questions. Good luck!
