lol whatever man i don't really care what u think. I think we should just agree to disagree and that our opinions are different and i respect that. No need to "mfer" etc buddy

mate i dont know what ur problem is really. All im saying is that it is extremely difficult to crack into ANY investment bank/HF/PE firm in Australia. Getting into an investment bank isnt "setting standards low". When I say "small firm" i mean small in size. Can u name 10 LARGE firms in...

Most hedge funds/PE firms (at least in aus) are small operations with few staff. They rarely (pretty much never) hire graduates straight out of uni. And it completely depends whether ur talking about hedge funds or PE coz they are two VERY different things. How would "market experience" in...

Money won't vary much between all divisions. Audit will give u the best exit opportunities.

U pretty much have to be a gun investment banker to even get an interview in a PE/HF/Prop shop. So it's hard to "screw" it

Um no. I never said 'high level finance' was NOT taught in UTS and Macq. In fact, I find that whats taught in UNSW is probably easier compared to other courses at other unis. All I know is, from my experience, alot of the top finance-related employers (IB, trading, mgmt consulting) have...

Re: who do you think would have the upperhand in getting the job between these two de Is this a joke? I don't even think a "Masters of Finance" exists in Harvard...

DEFINITELY UNSW. Firstly, "Professional Accounting" doesn't mean shit. Pretty much for every uni, u have to undertake certain subjects to be CA eligible. Macq's "Professional Accounting" just picks these subjects for you so by the end of your degree you will be "eligible". Essentially, you can...

Haha every UTSer loves the "practicality" of their degree As i said in another thread, for high level finance u'll pretty much have to come from UNSW/USYD But for accounting it doesn't really matter. Overall: UNSW/USYD>MACQ>UTS>UWS

Re: which uni is better to do B commerce??? for high level-finance roles u'll need to be in UNSW/USYD for a good shot. That being said obvsly some ppl break the norm. For a big 4 accounting job it doesn't really matter what uni to go to and heaps of grads come from UTS/MACQ

i just went through the rounds of IB internship recruiting. Prolly 60% of applicants were UNSW and the rest split between USYD and interstate unis like UMELB and UWA. I was pretty much the only one i know doing a straight commerce degree...everyone had either com/law, com/eng or commerce with...

lol let me tell u now that u will DEFINITELY NOT be working 7 hours @ pwc...8 hours when ure lucky...try around 10

Ah geez this really reminds me of me last year haha. Well the most important thing i think you should know is that with a cadetship, u have a job. When someone looks on your resume, they will look at your work experiences and ur achievements at a variety of levels. I personally believe that...

yes there are tutorials on at night. Some people choose to do their uni at night...then use their "uni leave" to have a day (or half a day depending how much uni leave you get) off work and relax. But some would rather have their nights free and get all their uni done in one day. And some...

EY is a bus ride away. It really depends where you live...if u dont live close to any unis, then just go to UTS
