    ENRON: Skilling and Lay guilty

    i dont think anyone in this thread has seen the movie enron: the smartest guys in the room there's really alot more to the companies collapse than "bad trades" for example, skilling approved the building of a massive powerplant in india, when there wasnt even demand for it. It lost...

    ibers won't get away

    what about management consulting, all you ever hear about is finance and accounting. Management consulting sounds the most interesting of the lot, intellectually speaking, from a graduate level. Junior Auditor: checking to see things are correct, doing a bank rec or something although it...

    i was there in the middle of 10,000 people at circular quay. when that penalty was scored, i said "FUCK OFF!!!" so everyone could hear, about 4 times, my voice box is now fucked. it was just ridiculous to be robbed of the match in the last 10 seconds, when we had majority posession. I...

    too right, i've resorted to strategically counting the number of hours sleep i need and exactly what time my exam is, but really, staying up till 5 am when you have an exam the next day is just not an option, i just hope we win so i can see them play again in the next round

    accounintg firms- cadetships

    you'd probly be 50-70 by then, its irrelevant really. the career path is more important than short term salaries, as they'll get you there in the end. i'd say youd be about 50 by the time your a partner, there's only so many partners, they gotta retire first.
