A degree that teaches you to know the names of the firms correctly.

You can't claim your laptop. But generally you depreciate it over 3 years at 30% per year. So you could claim it for this year and next year (but not 3 years in total). Dont worry about when you are paid etc, it should be the amount that is shown on your group certificate. Disclaimer...

Re: Winter Break '08 Chatter Thread What's with the underweight asian girl in your signature?

They are not the most career orientated degrees. They are more academic and thus it's hard to find a related job. Although not that hard if you try hard. (if that makes any sense). Also depends what you major in.

Looks like they are the result of Australia's immigration policy. Get as many international students as you can studying accounting and extract as much money out of them via fees, but don't bother checking their skills or english ability. Probably couldnt get jobs as accountants. Poor guys...

I had a good laugh when I read this one. So on some days you sell furniture and on others you are using your corporate finance skills! On top of that, it's unpaid.

Friend got interviews with low 70 wam from unsw. You can liken the situation to getting into your uni course. Once your in uni, its not that hard to transfer, provided you put in some effort. Once you are in the industry, it is not that hard to transfer into an IB (depending on where you want...

Re: Results and Predictions (Sem 1 '08) Thank god. My work (business) shoes have rather thin soles, and its a little uncomfortable walking over those rough stones.

No need to go that far. But yeh, will be tough.

I know it's a bad place. We were comparing salaries of engineers to lawyers. It wasn't an issue of going to work for the highest salary. I agree that money is nothing in the long term if you dont like the firm/conditions. But anyway that was a different point. And FYI, im not a salary...

Yeh you're right not top tier in aus. Conveniently you state the minimum super %. The best I could find was $63k + Super. I guess you could potentially make that to $80k if you counted bonus and potential sign on bonus. Ok I admit there are no $80k top tier salaries going. Why do...

Jones Day was paying $70k. I know, im not just making up figures. Easily $80k package. I havent seen any and i've been applying to heaps of firms recently for vac work. Most are FIFO to the middle of nowhere.

Well I wouldnt say its too hard, (i mised heaps of lectures due to clashes), but its not that interesting. Most people including me found the final pretty hard.

Ahh cant remember, and too lazy to go through my account history. Trading recently has been pretty textbook - shame still exam time. Hopefully fed meeting will produce some massive swings.

Good luck! I had a great day on spi. Looking to take it easy for a bit now.

Well the lecturer does mark your paper in the first place... Im sure you know if they can or not.

Do not do STAT2011. I heard cryptography is fun. Try that or MATH2070 or maybe a mathematical computing subject.

hater :p I have very few lectures with wooden seats :) At least the wooden seats keep you awake

They don't want to take the scholarship off you. So im sure they will let it pass given a good reason. But worry about it if you fail, not now.

I guess you'd have to have tight stops especially around now since the FOMC meeting is taking place.
