Without really reading into your definitions too much, I feel they have very different purposes. A mortgage is typically to purchase a specific asset (e.g. a house) whereby the house is the collateral/security which the lender has an interest in. That is, if the borrower defaults, the bank gets...

Depends, what job or career path do you actually want to pursue? Everyone has a Commerce degree nowadays and if doing Media is what you need to differentiate yourself from the rest, then go for it.

Re: You took a leave of absence for 1 year for full time work is it looked badly or g ironically a lot of companies are moving away from grad recruitment these days and relying on converting interns into grads.

Heard that too but I've never done CPA so can't really comment. For most roles though, companies require one or the other. Only exception would be a few select roles, and chartered firms.

Worth noting not everyone works in accounting with a CA- and there are plenty of roles which are borderline accounting. It's the skills/abilities/way of thinking you learn which is valuable in other fields. Anyway, $100k is manager salary in most big firms/banks. It's something worth aspiring...

Such different fields. One is very quant focussed (actuarial) and is hardcore numbers/maths, and the other is much more qualitative (accounting) in terms of understanding and applying rules.

I don't know if it counts as drifting in Wipeout :S

It's very possible. Try to look at model answers to get an idea of the difference between a band four response and a band six. Not sure if these are readily available anymore but they were back in 05!

It varies based on role and performance. Off the top of my head at least in professional services, most people are on around $70k-80k when newly qualified CAs, but it definitely varies (some will be low $50's if it's a certain type of role, whilst others might be >$100k). Try looking at some of...

Doubt you'd get much (if anything) at most firms for referring an intern or graduate. Typically the incentives/rewards are for experienced hires/laterals. Anyway, in all honesty, apart from getting invited to a "refer a friend" type function and getting an extra session to interact with HR, I...

this. Helps for maybe a few weeks and might carry you through, but won't make much difference come midterms.

The thing with a first car is it really needs to be something where you can learn and afford to make mistakes IMO. You learn a lot about driving and getting a car like a Benz will either leave you overly cautious or overly dependent on the engineering. I think you also made the right choice...

One of my mates just bought a nice clean white R8.... super jelly :( Why oh why did I sign up for a mortgage?!

Some people attend those events and think the people from the business who aren't necessarily directly involved in recruitment or HR also can make a difference- especially if you end up working for them in the future.

I've seen it happen a lot of times in my line of work (late nights working in the office), and two of my friends are actually getting married next month! For me personally, I'm currently dating a colleague. It was hard to keep it secret at first because people love to gossip but eventually you...

I'd also be mindful of FOFA and how it's still changing the finance industry for those who are client-facing. It's either go big or go home now.

On behalf of a lot of other people reading this, I don't understand what you're asking for. And no we won't do your homework for you so at least try to show what you've tried.

As others mentioned, the MBA is really only useful later on in your career. Even at my level (8 years experience) it's not always recommended especially if you were planning to go to a proper institution to do it. It's not just what you learn but whoo you meet.

Manufacturers never quote atw. Most enthusiasts quote atw. In all seriousness though a dyno compraison is really only meaningful if the two dynos are the same. No point giving it too much weight on the internets.
