    Working in Big 4 Accounting Firm

    1. The salary is continuously changing but there are a few surveys/statistics floating around the net (and linked to on BoS). The amount offered on the contract could even change before you commence day 1 of work. Although the figure above is realistic, there are a few grads who do get offered...

    Interview, Cadetship + Callback Times

    Why would you need to change your prefs if you don't get offered the cadetship? Usually the requirement FOR a cadetship is that you'll be studying a relevant degree with a major in Accounting; and that the cadetship will allow you to gain some work experience whilst studying that degree. If...

    difference between trader and dealer?

    I wonder if the definitions could be made clearer by prefixing "trader" and "dealer" with the word "FOREX"? On one hand is someone who tries to make gains purely by trading on the continuously changing value of currencies, whereas on the other hand, the dealer makes their money more by selling...

    FINS1612 or FINS1613? Which one to take? Or both?

    Thanks for your help guys. I'm planning on doing Acct2a and 1613 now... but not sure about 1612. If I miss lectures, will I be seriously seriously disadvantaged? As for QMB.. the timeslots for the lectures are horrible for s1, 2007 (they only have one lecture timeslot so I'll wait until...

    Cadetships/Traineeships- which uni?

    There's no set routine but SOME subjects will require you to have studied something else previously which does give it a bit of restriction/routine. This probably won't affect you if you plan on doing things pretty much in order just spread out more. However, the thing which will affect you is...

    Cadetships/Traineeships- which uni?

    Which uni are you planning to study at? Again I must emphasise I don't know much about the Comm/Law cadetship scenario, but I thought (at least with UNSW) the enrollment process is the same whereby you use the "Add Course" feature and instead of adding 4, you simply add 2 or 3 instead. Please...

    Accounting question

    As far as I know, that offer doesn't apply to everyone. For the TC who's on a cadetship, check your contract as I'm pretty sure it would stipulate somewhere you have to ensure that you pick the correct subjects in order to commence CA... unless the firm does not require you to undertake CA after...

    Ernst & Young

    Your mileage or PT is fully reimbursed anyway isn't it so it's in one's best interests to just take the most efficient/fastest method.

    Ernst & Young

    I'm not sure how EY works, but I'm pretty sure it'd be similar to our firm whereby engagement members should aim to use public transport, but if it's not possible or viable, then use taxis (which are reimbursed). Driving oneself is usually not the preferred option and requires approval from...

    *agrees with toffee123* ... but then I think turtleface already knows what I think of cadetships :) Btw to those of you who are trying to figure out uni for cadetships and so on, I made a thread on the Commerce forum in case you didn't know-...

    Professional Attire?

    It may not seem that important, but it shows that you care about finer details than just simply doing the bare minimum/standard. Besides, in most professions, and even the one this topic is related to (ie. retail), appearance is an important part of the job. However you do raise a good point...

    The official rejection thread

    There there, rejection letters come to (nearly) everyone at some point in their life.

    Cadetships/Traineeships- which uni?

    Each firm has their own recruitment processes and look for different things... so really, I can't generalise and give out an answer. I'd suggest you read up on the individual firms and discuss this with the people you meet from various firms at the networking events such as the ICAA Cadetship...

    Cadetships/Traineeships- which uni?

    Congrats =] So what are your thoughts at the moment? I think if you're in Tax & Law, doing the double degree with masters of tax is probably the best way to go isn't it? I'm not too familiar with double degrees on cadetships unfortunately. I know a few people who study at Macquarie Uni...

    Nokia N93 vs. N80 vs. N73 vs. E70

    Samsung sure know how to make great sliders. The D900 is the really thin/flat Ultra with the smallish looking screen right? That was actually my 1st pref for my sister's phone.

    Opportunity cost of doing a 5-yr combined degree

    I think in modern times, this has changed a lot as the turnover rate increases substantially- there are now lots more opportunities for younger people to enter jobs previously reserved for graduates and higher. Anyway, back to this thread and I'm too lazy to read all the lengthy posts! I'd say...

    Opportunity cost of doing a 5-yr combined degree

    I think he meant the irrelevance was the fact that you know down the road, you're going to end up with the Accoutning/Finance job rather than ever making use of psych. Sorry for the very short post but I'll post a more detailed post later- just something for you to think about though, how about...

    Cadetships/Traineeships- which uni?

    For us, we're allocated 4 hours per week for uni/study- but I think even 3 hours is quite viable; but I wouldn't push for anything more than 2 subjects/session. If you look at the timetable I posted and the hours I mentioned, if you have 4 hours a week it'll be more than sufficient for you...

    Nokia N93 vs. N80 vs. N73 vs. E70

    The newer S60 devices (v3) are much faster than the old ones... and when I say much faster, even bootup... my 3650 (v1) and 7610 (v2) took nearly a minute to boot up every time- and that's considering they only had puny amounts of external memory (16mb and 64mb respectively) whereas my N93 has a...
