That being said if your heart is in economics, an accounting cadetship probably isn't the right option.

Re: The Official Tennis Thread Surprisingly indifferent. I guess that's the way it's always been. LOL

Re: The Official Tennis Thread Got free corporate tickets in the third row to watch womens singles final in the APIA Sydney Int'l tournament (or whatever it's called). Great job to Radwanska Not a SINGLE game won by Cibulkova and double faulted to lose 6-love 6-love. Seriously fail. Match went...

ROFL I did that exact cruise last weekend to Kiama for fish and chips lol. Pity alot of the streets were full of traffic and RNP had a lot of slowpokes. The lead car tried to create a gap and some stupid Hilux overtook us so we ended up not doing anything too exciting... but enough to make me...

That's true. It is useful for readings provided you have a way of taking notes of those readings and converting them into something you can study with later on. I found iAnnotate (and various other PDF editors) to be very useful for marking up documents which you can later print or use as the...

Realistically your laptop and pen/paper combo will be far more efficient. I use an iPad3 with stylus for taking notes sometimes and whilst it works ok, nothing beats the speed and ease of manual notes. That being said I found the key benefit was not losing your notes and the option to type...

Australia is a bit behind the rest of the world on sustainability and triple bottom line accounting. Unless you're a consultant of some form trying to help businesses change/etc, I highly doubt in the short term at least, it'll change your employment prospects significantly at least for any role...

is it much different to 10.8.2?

Watching the preview. The Stamford guys seem quality but the other dude on Google+ has a really shit webcam (and microphone) which detracts from the experience. If I had the capacity to commit 7 hours a week and take it seriously I'd do it but in all honesty I doubt I will. These guys do look a...

not many people have been to both as an undergraduate i'd say.

To anyone interested, make sure i) you check the ICAA website regularly for the cadetship info session where all the major firms have representatives ii) follow firms of particular interest on Twitter/FB if they have social media accounts. e.g. PwC has a Student Careers FB page which has details...

Typically no but most firms will recommend certain universities based on proximity. The only real requirement is that you're studying a degree which offers fleixble study arrangements so you can work/study simultaneously, and that it's an eligible/recognised course for the CA diploma once you...

I'd say it depends on the firm and how much commitment you're talking about. Whilst official work hours should be 8:45-5:15 (or thereabouts), the reality is you may need to work back. On top of this you'll have university commitments both to attend classes as well as to study. The biggest...

I think the Op was asking for graduate roles rather than cadets, internships or other casual/part time employment.

Accounting grads can range from $40k up to $70k depending on where you work and what the role is. I think most big 4 would be in the low $50's whereas if you joined an accounting function in a bank where there are (presumably) less promotional/progression prospects, the starting salary would be...

I'd challenge that and say that if you want to study a language, do you really want to do it at uni? Keep in mind languages at uni is ridiculously hard, and you can learn it through a variety of other means (e.g. online, TAFE, colleges, personal tutoring, etc). For most jobs, employers will not...

Just curious what other people do nowadays. I recently moved my PS3 into my bedroom and hooked it up to my 24" LED LCD monitor via HDMI. It's great. Currently playing NFS:MW.

Cadetship- the work experience counts towards your CA practical experience component. By the time you've finished the actual CA program (i.e. 1.5 years after starting; typically started either when you rejoin as a grad or within half a year) you would've met the 3 year requirement. That being...

Really all you're doing is providing another feedback mechanism for people to direct government expenditure in the budgets ahead but not actually reduce it. I can only think this system would work with a significant time lag given that budgets and planned spending need to be locked in (or at...
