Look elsewhere for graduate employment
Pros: You get your professional qualification and you can put EY on your CV once you finally reach the point where you can run for your life.
Cons: Assurance employees have poor salary and very poor work-life balance. You will not be able to meet any substantial financial goals on EY salary alone, nor will you have decent work-life balance until you reach the very senior levels, which takes years. EY's great work-life publicity does not, I repeat, does NOT apply to the Assurance employees unless you are a senior manager or executive director. I would think very carefully about whether the sacrifice is worth it. I don't know what other companies are like, but it shouldn't be a stretch to say there are better options out there for graduates.
