That's fobriffic.

Every division has it's busy season... just some are deeper than others *cough*FS*cough*! On a sidenote... I had to help out with some IB audits... and man... let's just say Auditing looks alot more enjoyable :D

The Deloitte figure was inclusive of their consultancy work too isn't it?

I still remember the What do accountants use for contraception one... >__>" In regards to the topic; thanks to the collapses (which ironically were the fault of certain dodgy accountants), there's now a bazillion more new accounting jobs being created. All the AIFRS stuff and compliance work...

There probably isn't a blanket ban per se- but word does get round.

Don't alot of modern automatic* transmissions overcome all those issues? Some automatics/CVTs can shift in 0.25, and then there's tiptronic with paddle-shifting to make things a little more interesting when you want them to be, in some cars the automatic is cheaper than the manual (or same...

Just thought I'd add after today's installation of new (el-cheapo $34) speakers into my sister's Terios... Watch out for two things: 1. Stupid sizes/holes (which required drilling and re-measurement to fit a 6" speaker into a hole which had a 4" speaker with metal around it to fit what...

LOL I always assumed that question applied to pretty much any job involving other people! This isn't from my experience, but I remember hearing people talk about the "Deadline vs. Family funeral" (ie. priorities) question. How horrible! Nah, the straw tower was a BDO question :) The Big4 ones...

If it's any consolation... the word "average" (and the word "averaged") can be interpretted in as many ways as it can be calculated.

6x9s won't fit I realised. I'm trying to budget this as tightly as possible purely because it's not my car. I'm only doing it to make the car just a tad more bearable when I need to drive it for a fortnight or so. Today I'm going to take out the speakers, see what size they are, go to JB...

I think job interviews are pretty standardized q's... the whole strengths/weaknesses, how to deal with certain characters, etc... the bit which is really hard to prepare for (and I think that's the intention) would be the group ones. Like I've said in other posts, they can range from really...

Yep. You're pretty much always doing billable work during busy season... even if you have no client, other divisions might need you! Not really sure what non-busy season will be like though. So where'd you do work exp?

Did you find it really challenging? I personally suck at memorising cases and so on... and get this feeling that Biz Law will be full of that. What do you think?

Billable hours is any time you're doing client-related work (which SHOULD be a lot of the time!). Even if you're on a client which isn't primarily yours (eg. doing courier work or sorting stuff), that's still billable :) In my experience, I'd say around 5% is done in the office (where we are...

Total revenue of the firm (or budgeted revenue) divided by number of accountants (ie. practice staff). It's basically a way of saying the average accountant generates X amount of revenue for the firm. Remember, the low down newbie undergrads charge a different rate to say, the directors and...

Thanks :) Are these taken from brw website? They switched to some new login and I haven't bothered to figure out how to use it... tried to go to brw today but it wasn't updated yet. Bought the magazine though :) Thanks again for link. EDIT: All good. Btw just realised EY's budgeted...

I'm planning on installing (same size) speakers myself into my sister's car- should be an easy affair since all I'm doing is taking out the old and putting in the new and rescrewing. Unless you're installing an amp or something, then it shouldn't be too hard imo. Although it might be a bit...

A 2000 Pulsar should have a standard deck right? As in.. it's not integrated/part of the dash. So the cheapest way would probably be to buy a cheap deck from say JB or Stratty which has some form of amplification in it, and then buy some speakers which are low wattage but high quality/sensitive...

LOL... please elaborate on the real benefits for those of us who aren't (yet) partners :P

Can't remember the model but I think it might be 6280? It's the sliding Nokia with a normal UI (not s60) but tall screen and 2mp camera. Pretty nice phone but I don't like the slider mechanism on it. My pick would be the Samsung D600. The 2mp camera is decent enough for a cameraphone, but...
