Hehe, as I said, I will leave that unknown. Glad you like the blog though. Are you at one of the Big 4?

Thanks for your positive review. I hope this will be a valuable resource to BOSers. I'd rather not disclose which firm, but I'm surprised it's blocked! Hope you enjoy!

That's true, maybe it's difficult. But I definitely know people who have done it though. It was a lot easier when the ICAA's Achiever Placement for 1st years was available in all states, it may be more difficult without it though. The other idea is to do honours, so you could be penultimate in...

Thanks for your feedback! I'm sure you'll enjoy your time at uni, but don't forget that the whole purpose of uni is to help you establish a career afterwards. Though the blog is aimed at graduates, it's equally valuable to students going for part-time jobs or internships and will hopefully...

I would recommend the double degree purely for the fact that you'll spend more time at university and in that time would be able to gain more work experience. If you did 3 internships over the course of your degree in different areas of interest, you'd gain a wide range of experience and would...

yeh good luck to all for monday interviews and those also on friday. has anyone got anymore advice with the interviews being tommorrow? What sort of questions did they ask in the individual interviews etc. what should i do to prepare? etc. anymore help would be greatly appreciated!
