I've just been involved in a couple of rounds of Vacationer interviews at EY, I can tell you that it doesn't make much difference - post-interviews, all us interviewers and observers debrief each candidate and in one instance recently, the niece of a senior partner was highlighted during the...

I saw your name in the "Admitted as Chartered Accountants" section of Charter magazine recently, seremify, congrats!

Hey seremify - what does PwC offer for CA candidates? Internal and PLS or other things? I'm just doing a bit of research and cross Big4 comparisons in my new role as "CA Champion" in my division

Don't forget that if you somehow don't do all the pre-req subjects at uni, don't stress as you can enroll in bridging courses later on (which your employer will hopefully pay for!)

Congratulations! What service line will you be working in? I know here in Sydney things are tight and they are rolling back the number of spots for vaccies and 2010 grads in Assurance (i.e. rightsizing the intake)

Who told you that ?

Reason most firms won't offer grad positions to as many vaccies as usual is that they want to take advantage of the market this year, where more "high quality" candidates will be available, where they would normally go to banks/finance sector/corporate (assuming banks etc are decreasing their...

About step 4 - you have to work with somone that is a qualified CA, be that at a big4, corporate or a tiny office with one accountant (a CA).

What, all gen-ed's??
