OP is an intern. They won’t have any juniors. The expectation is to show up on time, communicate things proactively, and ask a lot of questions (but do figure out a way to differentiate between dumb and intelligent questions. Show interest in your work. Good luck!

Live the EY culture, make a better living world. Apply work life balance. Teach juniors anything they may not know. Give your critical thoughts on deliverables. Finally, remember this. You are a horse. Your job is to crank out deliverables and have them at least in an 50-80% readiness state

But MBA candidate would have minimum 2 years experience on most instances before MBA program. I understand to listen but it's relative to a doctor and nurse. Doctor had MD learns from nurse the details, but doctor leads operations and owns the problem. I know this might run wrong way but just putting a point of view.
