Are interns covered by their companies travel policies? I.e. if company policy is business class, and you are booked on economy - worth raising?

How did you get booked onto economy in the first place?

Was reviewing this thread to double check when the interns dates are... (relieved to see July)...

Saw this post...

Just had to quote it.

I mean damn. Echoes of brighter days or what?

Tell me about it. I don't think a day at uni passes without someone commenting about how tough it is this year...

On another note, depending on which firm(s) you're interested in applying for, some of the bigger ones have already begun recruiting for their summer vacation/intern programs. Most of these recruit in July and March, but from what I've heard, if positions fill up in March for the popular services lines then July applicants will miss out... or something like that.

Im applying for Credit Suisse at the moment. They are asking for your High School grades? Did people list individual subjects or just your UAI and leave the 'subject' section blank?

Furthermore did you just upload a transcript or upload it and input the marks also?

I did individual subjects. Had to dig them up.

I uploaded a transcript as well as individual marks inputted.

Can anyone tell me if it is worth my applying for vacation work (with the big 4) even though I am not in my penultimate year of study?

I have completed a Bachelor of Commerce at Melb Uni but I'm now studying law. I took up law for three reasons, 1) because I have always had a passion/interest in it 2) because I was worried I would struggle to get a job that I'd be interested in keeping given we are in a recession and 3) because studying Commerce made me realise just how relevant a law degree actually is.

I'm not sure that I want to work in Law. My interest and brain seems to be more centred on Commerce, particularly Finance. Although I'm considering M&A, I wouldn't mind getting some experience at KPMG in say, Government Advisory or Corporate Advisory or even Tax. But, given I'm not strictly penultimate this year, would it be pointless in applying to these firms for vac work?

Any thoughts would be great.

Cheers.
