LOL I think the guys repping coop (and any other organisation/employer/firm) will be flat out so you may need to introduce yourself to them. There's a few cadets and coops on BoS- every year they get found out by a few!

Because under the principles based system if you are to include lottery winnings as ordinary income under ITAA s6-5, then there is clearly a nexus to the costs incurred in earning said income (i.e. the lottery ticket) which would thus be deductible under s8-1. It's a zero sum game if all lottery...

Dress code for these cadetship info events isn't too strict but a good indicator is both where it is being held (eg external venue, or at the office), who is invited (eg parents and teachers too?) and at what stage you're at (eg pre applications, pre interview, post offer). Doesn't hurt to ask...

Basically it's like a careers fair where each employer or organisation has a booth or stand set up with both hr and employees to answer any questions you have on the program and what is on offer. There's usually some kind of free food or drinks (not enough for a meal) and each organisation will...

Never heard of anyone who took it but I personally wouldn't. It sounds quite technical and specific.

It's sad that even though I finished CA, I can still remember my different APES110 references :( Sigh. Are you doing MAA, AAA or EBA now?

Guess that works too. I just wanted my name@gmail.com so that worked. If I were to do it again I'd use my domain name :)

Depending on how long you plan to be using that email and what job, sometimes it might just be safer to use an externally hosted email. e.g. uni email addresses no longer work once you graduate. I personally set up a gmail dedicated to work-related things e.g. applications, signing up to fill...

Definitely helps if you can use some practical or real life examples. The textbooks alone won't get you there as you need to demonstrate some sort of real life understanding of the content.

He's the BoS admin on his *cough*4G*cough* iPad3.

LOL don't worry, you're not weird. But admittedly over time it does get less exciting (as do most things in life).

Front office are the guys who actually make money whether it's through investment banking activities or trading. They tend to be the hardcore, highly paid and glamorous roles. Middle office are the risk-management/control/strategic/treasury areas of the business which set the guidelines and...

To be honest I never really felt the need to. Maybe later on in my career when I'm aspiring for FCA status. Also don't really have that much free time :(

LOL glad to hear it.

I'm not sure what it's like in your workplace but at least for us historically where someone went out of their way to influence the process, they were the ones who had to wear the cost of such a choice (i.e. the person went into their headcount/division and hence FTE costs).

For those looking to get into roles in back/mid-office with the hope of moving to front, let's not forget all the events over the past 15-20 years in terms of rogue traders and how they came to be in the positions they were in!

You can't go wrong with Acct/Fin. It'll keep you well fed and is a good choice if you don't have any other inclination. That being said why Comm Lib or Int'l Studies? That being said, accounting cadetships really are client facing. But that's a bit outside this topic of front/back offices.

I'd say the influence it can have varies firm to firm, and also depends on the relationship but like Minai said (welcome back btw) it's unlikely to make much of a difference unless the relationship is significant. There are obviously a lot more politics to it than that which are best kept off...

Anything which actually makes money. Previously it was confined to portfolio reporting, risk management (layer 1/2), and other back-office (i.e. operations) roles. And accounting.

It explicitly says that they are planning to place cadets in front office? Wow that's a significant change to business cadetships in years gone past.
