Yeh thanks abovefor the advice. Only problem now is that I am probably going to have to head over to scandinavia in 15 months, because of my gf, she will need to go back to complete her studies. That's if we are still together. So I'll have to interrupt my CA if I go there. And I thats also...

yeh I know sydney looks like a much better job market then melbourne, infact for some reason most other cities look better then here. I dont get why there is so much less opportunity here. But as I said earlier, I just got back from over a year overseas and would like to stay here with my...

And another thing is, I am going to have to start my CA, and I don't want to do this because I'm not even gonna stick it out in accounting, so it seems a waste. And I really want to do a CFA instead, so I feel like ill be wasting time on a CA when I could be doing a CFA which I'd enjoy much...

IM not with a big 4, as I said my firm is only a 20 something. Private equity would be awesome, but I think the laters post is right, they would not be interested. By the way I have applied for quite a few jobs, but don't even seem to get replies in a lot of instances, and this is reply to...

Exactly, and then when its grad time its fulof competition anyway. I have the possibility of getting a compliance officer position with a securities firm, but not sure if I should go for it. Should I stick with audit, or would that experience be just as good. The way I see it is audit...

Well I have looked everywhere and cant find these roles for someone of my experience as I described above. Not in melbourne anyway This is really dissapointing, I just wish they were willing to give someone a go who is really passionate about this.

What do you mean, of I know a friend working at a firm already? And to the next reply, yes there are heaps of securities firms, but not many advertising or wanting for graduate roles. But thanks for the replies all.. Any other ideas?

Well, for those of you who have read my last posts on this you will know my story. I am a mid 2005 accounting / banking and finance double degree graduate from Monash University. I spend 2006 working overseas in europe in an accounting and international taxation job where I didnt learn much...

Re: BRW Top 100 accounting firms No, you understood correctly. We just don't really need to EMPLOY and new auditors at the moment. Anyway I would never recommend this to you its shit auditing. And it's even shitter because all our audits are out in the sticks and we have to travel so damn...

Re: BRW Top 100 accounting firms sorry yoko we dont need any auditors. And if you dont have a CA they are not interested, we only need experience CAs. But lots of places are looking so im sure you can find something

Re: BRW Top 100 accounting firms U know what lads at the end of the day it doesnt matter. U njust get yourself a year or 2 experience at somewhere decent, and thats a great entry into the job you want to get into, and move up in.

Re: BRW Top 100 accounting firms True, but I definately want to move into another area, and not accounting, luckily ca's are in demand for lots of finance jobs. So i guess ill have to go that tact. Problem is they all want you to have had big4 experience I reckon. And yes bell only has 1...

Re: BRW Top 100 accounting firms I know you got to work for it if you want it, but another 5 years study doing a law degree forget that. A prestigous or boutique I think is the way to go. And the previous posters comments about audit being no good for IB's and tax being better I am sure...

Re: BRW Top 100 accounting firms I dont have any experience for that. And I wouldve missed all the grad interviews, and I doubt theres any grad jobs now, Plus they want dudes with exceptional results. All I got is a double accounting / banking and finance degrees from monash with about a...
