For most big firms, I doubt it as I would imagine the number of offers made would also have been calculated with the probability of someone actually commencing with the firm (not just signing), and if necessary, the firms will have top-up campaigns or recruit from 1st year uni students.

LOL can't believe it's that time of year again.

I'm more inclined to think it's because they need to attract and retain staff because the Big4 lure is very strong in terms of better training opportunities, wider (and ore reputable) client exposure, more social events/larger social budget, future job prospects within the firm and associated...

You have to also remember that the culture of the job (both in terms of socialisation/talking within your peers/seniors, and the strictness of the hierarchy) will be directly dependent on the people you are working with so try to remember people you met from both firms who actually work in the...

It's probably alot easier to ask how much an auditor earns though... our salaries tend to be a little bit more "fixed" unfortunately. Traders on the other hand...

Back on topic, once I talked to one of those parking infringement officers.... and asked him if it's a 2hour parking limit, and I go and buy another ticket after 2 hours, is that ok? And he said no because it's still limited to 2 hours. U'd have to move ur car and everything; but the problem...

Thanks for the info. How interesting... i guess i would've gone either FRM or RBS. Btw FYI I don't think PBS is private banking... more to do with institutional banking and all the complex stuff which retail customers don't care for.

Let's wait for E to get back to us then to confirm if you're in or not.

Believe it or not it wasn't me- but I've had more than my fair share of people from BoS coming up to me at various events... I still don't know how they figure it out.. sneaky bunch of people those BoSers are though!

haha jus out of interest, what does this job lead u to? finance? accounting? etc..? and i'm too lazy to google but just curious :)

I think it is possible- some ppl have trf'd to USYD; but TBH I doubt u'd be bothered because once two years are up, u would've done quite a bit of uni and the reality is some subjects won't be recognised by other universities and will only cause u more trouble than it's worth. U'll probably also...

Reading the book isn't going to help much. Better off being generally aware of what programs do what (so you can use examples) and doing past papers to get a feel for the scenario Q's. I can't even remember which IPT books we used. I think it was Heinemann, and then the teacher lent us this...

I meant normalisation in the exams are really really basic. They will give you a table of data, and you need to identify which bits are redundant- typically the thing which is repeated alot unnecessarily. Think of it like algebra in maths- where you use a "let x = something arather" to remove an...

You mean like laptops, cars, PDAs, etc..? Yes. But on a trainee salary, it's probably not realy that much more tax effective. At best, you might as well just buy it normally but using corporate discounts/rates. ^ Not every firm does it like that though. Some include it in the original...

eheheheeee..... I spent the past week buying a printer, researching the purchase of a projector, and finding out about some dodgy guy who was rorting a client.

good work. i notice he's gone quiet. to prevent any assumptions on name, jordan, why don't u pm our dear friend 3li ur real name and he can verify?

Cool- more Baulko guys in our firm would be great. There's surprisingly a lot of Baulko ppl around. It's a pretty good environment to be in. It's kindof like school as someone pointed out- you can do the basics and get through, or you can volunteer and do lots of random things like...

Congrats. Are you from Baulko mate?

OMG that question was in my 2005 HSC paper wasn't it? It looks so familiar... Anyway would like to add to above poster's excellent answers; a) Data redundancy wastes space (i.e. lots of duplicate data still takes up precious kilobytes!) as well as posing issues when it comes to amending...

What do u need to do normalisation exercises for? Are they really gonna help u much in an exam- IPT doesn't really test u on this topic, let alone at a very high level.
