Personalized career development

Create a career journey as unique as you are

You want a career as unique as you are. Success as defined by you. Your passion amplified by our purpose of building a better working world.

Here at EY, personalizing your career is about more than just flexibility and advancement. We’ll help keep you relevant in a world where nothing stands still. We invest in your development so that you can become a purpose-driven, transformative leader, with the mindset and tech skill sets to set you apart and help deliver long-term value to clients.

We offer every person the chance to seize new opportunities and work with cutting-edge technologies. We expose you to different clients in different industries. We encourage you to lead and to step out of your comfort zone. You get the chance to work with new teams on projects that inspire and challenge you every single day.

Be the transformative leader the world needs

Bring your agility, curiosity and passion to EY and help others navigate uncertain times by welcoming change. Paint a compelling vision that rallies others to seek the answers we need for today and the future.

Transformative leadership at EY means being purpose-driven. It means bringing out the best in yourself with continuous investment in your personal development offered by EY. It means bringing out the best in others by actively mentoring and coaching others. It means building trust, relating to others in an authentic, courageous and high integrity manner. And overall, it means being passionate about your team, business and impact on your community.

EY Transformative Leadership model

In today’s quickly changing world, ideas of leadership are changing fast too. That is why EY has developed a new Transformative Leadership model that brings together EY’s purpose, values and the leadership behaviors the world needs right now. The model is designed to help everyone at EY build a ‘better me’, a ‘better us’ and a better working world for EY clients and society.

Build the skills that can unlock doors anywhere

You never stop learning. And as a truly transformative leader, you can help our clients do the same. As the world undergoes unprecedented change, their ability to innovate depends on you. We're investing in your learning so that you can build the transformative mindsets and tech skill sets we need to thrive.

Of course, it’s about much more than your formal learning. It's also about the coaching and support you will need to grow. At EY, you’ll benefit from work experiences and opportunities that will help you transform, develop yourself and build a better working world.

Build the sought-after skills you’ll need to stay relevant

Your future career may well feature jobs that don’t yet exist, in businesses that haven’t yet been created. You have skills and talents you don’t even know about and we will help you to discover them. EY Badges, and our Tech MBA and Masters programs by Hult, are just some of the innovative learning programs we offer to help you do just that.

EY Tech MBA by Hult

The EY Tech MBA, offered in association with Hult International Business School, is helping our people develop both the mindset and skillset to navigate the challenges ahead.

It is the first-ever fully accredited corporate MBA that is available regardless of role or position and entirely for free to all over 365,000 employees in over 150 countries.

Through its innovative virtual learning model, the MBA allows our people to develop the technology, leadership and business skills they need from anywhere in the world, in a way that truly suits them.

Better conversations that look ahead, not backward

LEAD is our unique approach to developing EY people. When you think of traditional performance management, you might imagine an annual process driven by a look backward. At EY, performance management is about so much more. LEAD is grounded in regular conversations about you, your career, your development and your growth and learning. It’s all designed to motivate and inspire you to look forward to what’s next by understanding how you need to develop to achieve your aspirations.

Through LEAD, you’ll receive ongoing feedback that fuels meaningful dialogue about your career, development and performance. These powerful conversations, combined with technology to help deliver real-time feedback, give you greater transparency while allowing you to focus on what you’re doing and how you can be better. Through LEAD, you’ll gain insights into your performance so that you can choose and follow your personalized development path and transform into who you want to become.

Our support for your professional exams

We also support you in preparing for important professional exams. These include, for example, Tax Advisor, Auditor, CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst), CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor) or CPA (Certified Public Accountant) exams. Our support involves using time credits saved from working overtime for exam preparation, taking paid special leave or even benefiting from other financial support.

After graduation, you would join EY as Trainee, Assistant, Consultant or Associate. From day one, you are encouraged to take on responsibility and develop your skills with the given tasks and exciting projects. This is how your career could evolve:

As a Senior, you will take on initial management responsibilities, such as managing projects on site or coaching junior team members, in order to develop professionally and personally.

As a Manager, you will manage several projects in parallel and be responsible for the communication with your clients.

As a Senior Manager, you will expand your client relationships and put more time into sales and the development of your team members.

As a Director, you will manage complex projects and larger teams. You will specialize in a particular topic and acquire new clients in this field.

As an Associate Partner, you’ll continue to work like a Director with an addition of developing top-level strategies.

With the necessary experience and personality as well as the right entrepreneurial spirit, you can become a Partner and thus co-owner of EY.

However long you stay and wherever your career path takes you in EY – the exceptional EY experience, it’s yours to build.
