Recap: 1st Day & WTEY August 13-15th

Hello!

I finally have some time to write about what an amazing experience I've had this past week! It's official guys: I'm part of the EY family! I will be working in Assurance Services! LOO started in our home office and it was a morning of just an overview of what it's like to work at EY, as well as administrative matters. We were taken out to lunch and given a tour around the office. I met my peer advisor and other staff members. Great environment. Then we were off at 3pm to go to the airport with my coworker!

WTEY is like an orientation for new hires. We were able to meet new hires from Las Vegas, Redwood City, and Seattle (The actual orientation was in Seattle). It was exciting getting on a plane and traveling without my family for the first time. Luckily I had some coworkers who took similar flights as me, and two of them were on my flight. We had different seats but hung out together waiting.

I was able to enjoy Seattle, walking around after our orientation with other new hires. We checked out the harbor, the market, and even the first original starbucks in 1912! I was able to take many pictures and videos! The Sheraton is the hotel I stayed at; it had a great gym for a hotel and I worked out there the first day I arrived! It was important I was at least a little active while sitting down hours on end during trainings. I wanted to make sure that I don't become a fat accountant, and it helps me feel better about myself!

It was great, I had a great time, and I will probably post pictures on here when I'm able to upload them. I was able to get my badge, card, and laptop from the firm. It goes to show how amazing this firm is, and I am super excited to be doing my assurance training in San Francisco!
