HSC we expected to get 90+ in everything. In Uni, I'm satisfied with anything above 60. That being said, I enjoy the freedom of uni (3 day weeks! boo yah!), but it is kinda sad not having the d&m friendships which you had back in high school. It seems that alot of people are just "hi/bye"...

I think so too. What surprises me is... this course has always been for 90+ UAI students (local-wise CSP anyway), but yet I'm on a 97 and studied Eco/Biz before... and am finding Commerce bloody challenging at times.

I think when you factor in the working hours of IB, the pay probably isn't that much greater than accounting; but IB looks a lot more stressful where a mistake can be extremely costly.

Are you sure about that? I was under the impression that those sorts of things would be considered expenses to the firm and would deduct from total revenue as opposed to the base salary/incentives. After all, PwC doesn't actually provide the Corporate AMEX just for the perk you realise. It's...

Most people will agree with me when I say that academics are only a small part of the whole "getting a job". Whilst B Commerce probably sounds better than B Business, the recruiter would probably also take into account the difficulty of the course and the university at which the candidate...

EY's Happy Days song is by far... well I'll let you guys decide based on the lyrics. I'll even upload it for the convenience of you guys. There's also another PwC theme song which is worth listening to called Downright Global. http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/6/17/74108/Happy%20Days.mp3...

That's exactly how I felt! In my test I'm like.. ahh crap I've just failed- there goes all my money. But then, it turned out, I passed! I was like.. WHOA OMG... and my only reasoning is that I actually did proper hours (for the mostpart) so I was quite confident and steady in my driving? *shrugs*

Depends on what you really want to do I suppose. A foot in the door of an IB is better than nothing- especially if you really wanna work in IB later on. That being said, the work experience you gain from a large chartered firm won't exactly hold you back from future job opportunities either.

ROFLMAO... makes me wonder why she gets it free and noone else does. Sounds like sexual discrimination!

I know you! You're that guy from my uni who's smart :P Good luck with your tutoring Hu!

Hey Rench... aren't you on a scholarship? The money ain't good enough for you? Hope your tutoring biz is going well. Maybe you can tutor me in acct1501? jkjk~

Every firm has different titles and the ranks/progression vary so that survey should be taken purely as a guide with a pinch of salt and nothing which may be accurate or reflective of how you (the reader/individual) will actually perform. Some firms have principals, some firms have directors...

I'd say a university which isn't located in a 3rd world country is a good place to start :) </useless unhelpful post>

What they don't know can't hurt 'em. That's my principle with everything and telling rents nothing.

*nods with turtleface* Although what I'm wondering about is with the BRW survey ranges- are they saying that's the bottom and top limits, or just the averages of the companies surveyed form those limits. I'm pretty sure some partners would earn above and beyond what they claim as the top; and...

Isn't B Bus the same as Commerce anyway? That's what I'm thinking based on my friend at UTS in comparison to what I learn in Commerce. There are many surveys/statistics around the net which say UNSW grads or USYD grads or MACQ grads or UTS grads have best job opportunities/prospects but...

I never thought about that aspect of preparation for CA with the work/study! Btw, do you really need to say "5th largest Accounting firm"? Wouldn't it be easier to just say BDO? LOL...

Secondment is more of an opportunity which you have to apply for with your manager/partner. Not meaning to put a knock at you but I think secondment is a valuable experience which I'm under the impression, pretty much every partner has undertaken. I've also got the BRW survey on my other PC...

Well I grew up learning on a Terios so anything beats that :P ... but over time, the Civic has gotten alot better; but then so has my confidence? In the Terios, I would have to let go off the accelerator and tap the brakes on a lot of corners in my area (Hills district) but now I find myself...

We got the same mark for prac set quiz :)
