Good point, just because banks do it, it doesn't mean it works. However I have found it works for me and countless others. Many people got out when the market double topped - simple TA. I think there is value in TA however most people arguing against it seem to think it is the only way...

I don't really care about the money. But do you think it disadvantages you when it comes to grad recruitment?

I agree. And many of them are the commerce international students:mad:

What is everyone's opinion? Would you rather work at a firm (any firm) over the summer as a vacation student or would you work in research in uni over the summer? What do you think is more highly regarded?

Re: Which university is the best to study Commerce? You need a context in order to ask this question. Are you talking about university experience/reputation/industry links? In short, pick a Go8, get good marks and get a decent job. No-one cares after that. They will see 'x' firm thought...

So much rubbish in this thread. Brokers are usually execution only. Sometimes they read you some research from a research/broking house and charge another $100. They are basically equivalent to real estate agents on the finance pecking order. Affinity: Do you know how many prop trading...

Just remember there are no prerequisites in the school of civil engineering. I wouldn't overload, as one hard subject can majorly screw you up.

So did you pass?

Doesnt sound too bad. Most of the suggestions by past vac students always suggest to read the AFR/FT for at least a week before the interview. Macq dont care why you want to work for them, because in the end 99% of candidates would take a job in any ib in their desired field. They want to...

Love it how people are putting Indian unis on the top for asia. Especially when you can still get into an II by paying your way in.

Says ther person who did a basic first year maths course =/

WTF? I wouldnt be surprised if you had no students.

Lol. You're a pretty funny guy. Please keep posting. JP Morgan have given interviews too. Most banks give interviews before the closing date. That's why it's advisable to apply ASAP if you want to stand a chance.

Ill get a list up tonight if I can be bothered.
