    Which is the best uni for business/commerce/economics?

    Re: Best Business Faculty Well if you go to one of those highschools where everybody's father is the director/partner/head manager/... of XYZ Ltd. then you'd have that nice network of people to get you work experience (that is denied to anyone inquiring over the phone) or in many cases...

    Travel on the job at Big 4

    They look after you very well. I've already had people from my intake all over NSW, to melbourne and other parts of VIC.. You're especially well looked after if you have to work overtime... Other perks? FS = pretty lenient with coffee/snack runs.. lol.. Lindt milkshakes ftw.

    Which is the best uni for business/commerce/economics?

    Re: Best Business Faculty By valuable info, I believe he is referring to that imaginary concept that success can be determined by simple things such as which university you went to. He's yet to realise that the real world looks like that tangle of cables coming from your powerboard.

    Which is the best uni for business/commerce/economics?

    Re: Best Business Faculty Unsw :p But UTS > all for convenience, except their system of choosing courses/timetabling sucks. (And when you're a commerce student with minimal hours a week you want to be sure you get it bunched in 2 days :D ) Usyd don't offer part-time which makes me thing they...

    Accounting firm - promotions

    In my extremely short experience I'd say a mixture of things. For certain though is communication skills since one of the key things that changes as you move up ranks is the exposure you have with the client.. The 'formal' process appears to be reviewing your performance against career...

    How much do Chartered Accountants make?

    lol I was going to reply with the string response but someone beat me to it.. What you're asking is comparable to asking how much a commerce degree will earn you. Depends on company, position, etc. Then keep in mind the 'ol 'most CFO's have a CA' fact and you can figure out for yourself...

    Co-op vs Cadetship

    Err I'm pretty sure CA is more than 26 weeks. Wasn't it about 2 years? You can work for accounting firms (even CA ones) straight away but you won't be qualified. Cadetships = foot in the door faster in a certain company Co-ops = work experience placements at various firms Neither are...

    Co-op vs Cadetship

    Completely new fields? We're talking about accounting at the end of the day. As for say, a finance-related field, I don't see why a co-op grad with a couple of accounting work placements would have an inherent advantage over somebody who has spent 2 years auditing banks. A cadet also has...

    How to become a Partner

    From what I understand 'partners' include both profit-sharing and non-profit sharing people.. Ie. First one may attain the 'rank' of partner, then later down the track the other partners may extend an offer for them to buy in a share. This is what I've been told... I could be seriously wrong.

    Cadetships - Interview Questions?

    Three main types.. 1. Why questions. Why did you choose this subject for highschool. Why are you applying for this company. etc. Be honest, be genuine - easy to come across when you are genuine and focused by nature. Lots of these questions are basically warm-ups but you can really...

    Procrastination ftw.... .. .. To the person(s) who said that they're too busy for a gf... lol.. what a shit excuse. Having someone to reciprocate how you feel and what you're going through is imo one of the greatest things in this world. It's the reason why even those with jobs, money and...
