True that there's better gear and the interior looks like it's much higher quality/comfort than current (and previous) Evo generations; but nonetheless, at $80k, I'd be expecting something more. I heard the new tranny however is supposed to be really good with the dual clutch, but probably will...

It's all about the image! jkjk. Seriously speaking though, if it does turn out to be $80k, even though I really like it, at that price I'd rather buy a new 325i (and probably will if given the choice at that price)- or even the new TT. For $80k, I'd expect a bit more luxury than Recaro seats...

Depends on the firm, but from what I've seen/heard, returning cadets start as Seniors outright whilst they study their CA as opposed to a normal grad who does their CA as a grad, and becomes a senior when they've finished CA. Of course many other factors can come into play here such as when...

Re: Cadetships 2007 You think it's painful for you guys to watch.... Gotta love convo starters with food. But be careful there Vagabond- someone remembered me as "the guy who asked me to try the satay"... not exactly the best and most professional image is it?!

Realistically speaking, in Audit at least, your first 2-6 months are going to be doing the most basic audit work with things like the famous "ticking and bashing", reading through finstats, and substantive testing (ie. agreeing supporting documentation) but then as you do these very basic tasks...

Re: Cadetships 2007 If it's anything like previous year info sessions, it finishes after a couple of hours but you're free to leave whenever. It includes a bit of a speech/presentation section, and mingling time with the firms. As for talking, I won't be in the big presentation but I'm...

Meh I enjoy it. It depends what you are looking to achieve. As Vagabond has mentioned, doing it for the wrong reasons will ultimately leave you feeling unhappy and miserable. BUt if you're doing it to genuinely learn something, meet people, and get a real taste of working life, as well as...

IMO the driving test isn't so much to test how well you can drive, but how well you can follow the rules for 15minutes.

Re: Cadetships 2007 I agree with Meads. Just because it isn't an official assessment doesn't mean candidates aren't remembered by the staff.

LOL those Swiss banks are pretty secretive...

Re: Cadetships 2007 From memory they both offer pretty much the same information, and the HR people from both offices attend both functions- the only difference is that the speakers (eg. partners, current cadets, ex-cadets, staff, etc..) will obviously be different and may offer different...

How odd, noone on BoS seems to have mentioned it- or maybe everyone's too busy with their midsems :) Source: http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1613482,00.html

I love my sudoku for lectures :)

I was referring to the first line of the article; I was under the impression this was different from the current system whereby driving instructors teach their students the route.

It's not worth staking your credibility on some random you met online IMO- EVEN if you think you've got to know them well. Once you've recommended some **** candidates, noone will take you seriously.

Because they didn't do 50 hours with someone instructing them to drive properly *shrugs* ... reading a book with your eyes shut for 100 hours doesn't mean you've learnt anything... unless you learn to read the font using your fingertips- that'd be pretty impressive.

What makes me curious is how they improve potential danger perception if you are fully aware of the course you are taking in advance. After all, hazard perception skills would be more noticeable if the test was conducted in unfamiliar territory right? Sure there may be unexpected events such as...

IMO it greatly also depends on your firm's business requirements. Some divisions/departments have far more intense 'busy seasons' with extended periods of quietness throughout the year, whilst others have a far less volatile and evenly spread workload throughout the year. But like you said, by...

Re: Cadetships 2007 I hope I get to see a bunch of you guys at the Cadetship Evening on May 24th! On a sidenote, don't underestimate the value of leaving a good impression early on. It never hurts if recruiters can put a face and persona to the written application- assuming you leave a...

Gosh I wonder how many people are going to fudge even more hours now... knowing that the test is easier than before.
