You could be smart about it and only look at companies that you're actually interested in... I'd assume you're interested in a handful of corporations in particular so you could see which of the big4 covers most of them. ..If you didn't have an opinion on specific companies then you probably...

They don't even get biscuits etc at their office. Wouldn't expect competitive career advancement either. On the brighter side they're extremely laid back, e.g. don't work overtime, not as busy as profit organisations, etc. At least from my insight. So depends what you're looking for I guess...

Just search financial statements online i.e. from asx website and look for the independence statement/audit opinion. If you were bored enough you'd have a nice list in no time.

If by casually you mean exceedingly unprepared, unpolished, knowing few details... then I agree. If by casually you mean down to earth and laid back then I strongly disagree, especially when firms have multiple interview stages, i.e. a manager interview, subsequent partner interview. Coming...

On the brighter side you can look forward to at least 10% salary growth, consistently. If you average out over say a Director's or Partner's career its closer to about 15% growth p.a. Corporate world will always pay about 20-50% higher at every grade but not guarantee future pay rises...

Suvat makes a good point In audit anyway, PwC are practically undisputed for financial services. My impression is that EY is pretty strong with resources etc. Imo Deloitte resembles a mid-tier firm more closely than a big4 firm in Australia (with higher starting salaries for lower grades to...

In companies of thousands of people judging a firm's 'niceness' based on a handful of people you met is pretty short-sighted. Unfortunately however I don't think there's any way to determine what company is right for you from an outsider's perspective as the most important things like A) How...

I dont even know if TA is the right term Would any technique utilising charts/historical pricing fall under the umbrella of TA?

Meh. I just got the opportunity to see brokers work and in one particular company really loved the environment. They get paid very well, work specific hours and maintain a chummy environment with lots of perks.

Lol - you can't take offense to tax generalisations then use an audit cliche as a comeback! Yee gad! Where's your backbone lad?

Cool? Not sure why you directed that towards me but since you have, I'll point out that business assurance in reality is the prelude to financial statement audits whereby IT auditors will assess the information systems of companies, namely their accounting/reporting systems and any other...

Yeah screw channels, resistance levels, volume levels etc... They're all made up. >_> <_< (And btw guys, where you're addressing the OP there's really no use quoting my wall of text ... :P )

Hey guys, just looking for some insight as per my ramble below... I'm starting to get somewhat interested in the technical analysis of stock (right now I just love looking at charts, trying to pick out trends, learning a few fundamental techniques etc). For the sake of being open-minded...

What value do auditors add? How about not having your shares suspended on the ASX? :P

In the UK AFAIK most people study random stuff as even more technical areas such as accounting don't have uni pre-reqs. So people may study BArts, BEng then take a commerce job. Their CA program doesn't require you to have studied accounting at uni. With other fields such as finance given...

Re: Which university is the best to study Commerce? http://www.go8.edu.au/

Yes. Most partners in the big4 would have been inducted before 35 years of age. But if you're only managing a pass average (I hope at least you're at a hard uni) then the CA may be a challenge for you given the content is harder and you'll be working whilst studying. Mid-tier will pay more...

Seremify as your senior I demand that you cease posting on these messageboards. *giggles*

As an auditor that suggestion made my eyes bleed.

Deloitte have a claim system, e.g. you buy textbooks then charge back whereas other company's give you cash. Pros and cons of both.
