Nice view :P

It's not that I'm flying through corners but even when I brake in a slightly more sudden/abrupt fashion, I can feel the textbooks in my boot (and huge street directory) move forward and knock against the back seats... and if that's where my amp is going to be, I don't want it getting all dented...

I don't know much about car accidents but I'd say you shouldn't have taken the $20- you should wait until it's all settled with your insurance companies and/or the repair work is complete so you know how much.

LOL i wouldn't say that people don't enjoy themselves at PwC, but I agree that PwC is a lot more direct; they won't beat around the bush or sweet talk just to sound good.

Hmm I remember that people in EY could do Comm/Law (on cadetship) and then they had to do a Masters of Tax whilst everyone else was doing CA. I was also under the impression that if you did Masters of Tax, you didn't have to do CA; but then I guess it's probably a good post-grad qualification to...

It's pretty hard to change midway through year 11 isn't it? Interesting subjects you have there- you must really love your computers :)

*also agrees with Minai* Some people actually pick audit, and I think it's stupid to always compare IB and Big4- they are two different things. I wonder what KennyGAB does for work... since he slogs Big4s :P

Fine fine fine :P I know it could've applied to anything; but in the current climate of this board talking about Big4 and IB alot, it is very focussed on Accounting/Investment Banking- especially when the subject matter was "partner"- and yes I'm aware there are partners in other industries too...

I didn't know ICAA issued deadlines for 'acceptance'- I thought they gave time periods. With cadetships it was a 3 week period to decide from memory. ... and Congratulations redruM on getting Deloitte. Which division will you be in? (btw to other people, please post your divisions- I'm...

I know I was gonna get decent speakers but ended up opting for a low-powered amp and sub after realising that without an amp, the speakers wouldn't get used much, and with front speakers w/ twin-tweeters and rear coaxials, it didn't really improve the depth/bass of the music but rather just the...

It's not that length equates to emotion, but just my short post was meant to be indicative of a 'passing comment' rather than any meaningful or serious debate. Anyhow, I don't know enough on the topic to discuss it any further whereas I think you've done quite a bit of research into the subject...

I just like the fact that they are visible, stay (ie. they don't fall over), and people can't nick 'em.

I haven't personally worked but based on what I hear from my sister who in-charges audit jobs, she has 30+ people reporting directly to her. I'm under the impression that there must be quite a bit of team work/team chemistry to ensure the job goes smoothly. Did you consider other factors such...

I really liked the Yaris- if I was in the market for a smaller car and/or on a budget of $20k, I'd definitely go for it. The build quality was amazing, the layout and dash were beautifully fit together, and on the whole, I was most impressed. The only thing stopping me was it was too small- if...

I'm pretty sure the ":P" made it obvious but then I guess anything on the net can be misinterpretted. Btw by 'worked up' I was referring to your very lengthy post in comparison my short post. And I'm not stupid enough (nor despo enough to prove a point) to refer to my current and past firms I...

Best wishes with your interviews guys (and gals) :)

Usually people doing double are in tax 'coz they don't need CA right?

I think that was referring to "in the future..." Btw UBS have really cool back packs :( I saw someone on the train with one and it had all these lil' compartments inside!!!

You got really worked up over that didn't you? Yes the reality is that minority groups are under represented in higher level positions- but then as a firm, if say 10% of people are <insert designation of choice>, why should the firm go out and make sure they have 50% of people, or even a...

That's the stuff which they publicize, but there are also things which I don't think you've considered in terms of culture. For example, KPMG is supposedly famous for it's more extroverted, image-consciencous, loud and sporty people. Ernst and Young (I believe) is a more charity-focussed (based...
