    $$ - aka What is your Traineeship Remuneration?

    I suspect they are referring to the uplift to graduate salary also. If indeed it is 1k for every subject you pass I would be seriously looking to find myself a job at deloitte.

    Cadetships 2008/09

    Re: Cadetships 2007 uhuh, this was what i was attempting to get at. and as meads said all of the cadet events held by respective firms should at least give you a feel of the firm.

    Cadetships 2008/09

    Re: Cadetships 2007 haha whoever told you that is wrong. deloitte lost last year at least half their tax partners to EY and other firms - mass exodus would probably be the best summation of what happened at deloitte. my opinion on which firm to choose would be to choose the one that you...

    Fundamentals of Business Finance thread

    to be honest finance wasn't that bad and the $$$ are seriously very close to swaying me away from accounting as a profession.

    ring up some of the smaller firms, you never know when they may need someone to fill the void of a cadet that has left.

    mid-tier firm interview help!!

    to be honest i would be very surprised if they asked you anything like that... my opinion is that those questions are completely academic and as redrum has pointed out completely impossible to give a 'correct' response. they will just be the sort of questions you should be expecting, touching...

    PwC partner salary

    agreed.. accounting is not as bad as people make out. generally people enter IB as a grad, stay for a few yrs to bring home the bucks and cut and run.. if your keen at chartered and pretty good you have a future with only limited (in comparison to IB) feral hours and decent pay.

    mid-tier firm interview help!!

    it's true i do... as you may see on your interview day, it is a pretty easy going sort of place and, despite the growth we have had in the past 12mths, the sort of place where people will know who you are.

    mid-tier firm interview help!!

    hey mate calm down. i assume it's your first interview, so it will just be with one of the HR girls - they are fantastic and really nice. it will be fairly informal, mostly just going through your application form, stock standard questions i.e. why accounting, strengths, weaknesses, what...

    Cadetships 2008/09

    Re: Cadetships 2007 haha, calm down.. most, in fact pretty much all, hire you to fit in with the culture that is already established within the firm therefore even if you did practice these exams you would have no idea what answers are correct because every firm is looking for something...
