    Investment Banking

    I'd be thinking it would be more around the $110k region after 3 years. I could be wrong with that figure, but it all boils down to the bank, your department, and how good you are.

    Investment Banking

    If you had half a brain you'd see the light. I know you're relatively new, so please read slowly, k? You're clearly easy to antagonise, so make it easy on yourself and just find me some credible evidence* to backup what you have stated. Show me that a person that possesses all the...

    Investment Banking

    Dude just give up. Starting out by saying what you have and using the "brothers mate" as your source is just asking to be ridiculed. EDIT: That's where you fail.

    Malaysia and Singapore... who's been?

    My girlfriend's from KL, but she's a bit of a banana. Yellow on the outside, white on the inside. Never stops talking about he shopping mega complexes over there. Going there this year for a few months, should be awesome. Mmm, Nasi Lemak.

    Investment Banking

    1. No, a degree wont be enough to be a Certified FP. Their job is to advise people on financial matters, which carries a lot of responsibility. If you're getting advice on where to put your life savings, or how to distribute wealth to your siblings when you die, then you want to know the advice...

    Investment Banking

    No. A major in Finance will help you, but to become a Certified Financial Planner, you need to complete a DFP (Dipl. in Fin. Planning). To get started though, the Finance major will help you score a job with one of the banks, and then do the DFP later down the track when you progress.

    Investment Banking

    The easiest answer for that is: It depends on what your role is. You'll start of as a Para Planner, then work your way to Financial Planning once you get a DFP (Dip in Fin Planning). It's easiest to establish a career in FP through the major banks, so ANZ, NAB, CommBank, St George and Westpac...

    Investment Banking

    You haven't worked in the industry, have you? Some might look at Investment Banking and consider it to be a pretty crappy job, considering the commitment to 12+ hours a day (conservatively), 5-6 days a week just for the money. Add to that the fact it's very competitive for good jobs. Each to...

    Business Degree: Related to Management?

    Book skills alone are seen by many as largely irrelevant in management. Of course, they help establish yourself as being educated, but its moreso knowledge of how the business itself runs and how competent you are in working through people. This only comes through experience. Therefore, the...

    Tutorial Registrations

    Not too sure, because all of my subjects are fairly normally structured. I can only suggest that you ring somebody from the faculty involved tomorrow. I haven't done the subjects involved but they sound like first year health science subjects, yeah? Give Ilyse Jacobson, the Administration...

    Telemarketing Pay Questions

    You have to be thick skinned to last long in Telemarketing. There is a reason that there are always plenty of jobs going. I'm going to be blunt, if you need to ask whether its hard to sell products, then you're not going to last long.

    how to avoid falling asleep during lectures?

    Yeah, walk everywhere and get eaten by mosquitoes. The walk then develops into a brisk walk, then a jog, further into a run, finished off by a sprint. Then you're back into the lecture theatre feeling so much more refreshed! :)

    Cricket Season 2007/2008

    Thats it right there. That is what lost them the game. Also batting first didnt help them...we didnt even get to see the aussies bat! Write this one off guys. I think the one-dayers starting tomorrow will be different (meaning I dont see India being thrashed so badly for a start).

    Teaching (Arts) at UNCLE...

    You know people in a particular finance sector (perhaps they lectured one of your courses) that has extremely high demand, and you're able to negotiate/dictate rates of pay. Summary: Networking ftw. :D
