Thanks for answering! How many students usually attend the cadetship evening?

I would say around hundreds?

Just register online beforehand to make sure you get a spot. It's a good evening- I try to make it each year if I can!

it's open to both year 12 and 1st year uni students but historically there have been people from outside of this anyway who come along (even though the programs on offer aren't necessarily aimed at them).

Umm why are all cadetships for accounting??? What about finance? or is a cadetship at an accounting firm for all commerce students(students who don't want to do accounting)

Because it's the accounting firms offering the cadetships and they are trying to find people to work for them?

In the past, some of the banks offered various cadetships (under the name 'business cadetships') but these were in various finance roles (read: not all were in front office).

Hey guys, I'm a first year doing Comm/Eng and I am REALLY determined to drop Engineering after this semester (currently enrolled in all core commerce subjects) and planning to apply for a cadetship.

However I'm worried I won't even get past the first step of the application process since they only accept single Commerce degrees (or comm/law), any advice? thanks!

what firms are open for cadetships for finance?

Then say this in your application/interview. If you're serious about it then it shouldn't be an issue but I wouldn't recommend saying one thing but not really intending to follow through with it.

Though this is an honest way to do it, there are so many applications hence making it extremely competitive. I'm just afraid when they first see Comm/Eng in my application they'll immediately disregard my application & theres no reason why they would trust me to drop the engineering component (which I emphasise I DEFINITELY WILL).

So does anyone/cadets know if applicants need to show proof of enrolment in any stages of the process? (since i read someone did comm/law but the firm didnt know about it until he/she told them...)

I hope I dont come off as being sneaky/dishonest cause I really am going to drop the engineering component and I just want a shot at a cadetship and not want to be rejected in the first stage

Independent point of view here but would you rather your future boss learn about your secret through you telling them in the application form/interview, or because they happen to notice an anomaly between your transcript and what you claimed was your current degree on your application form?

It'll vary from firm to firm but as far as I know, people have to bring transcript or extracts from their uni results/enrolment system to their interview.

Upto you how you want to play the game but if you were applying for a role which required honesty and ethical conduct, I don't see how being deceitful at the application stage is going to improve your odds both in the short and long term.
