    CA Program - Ask questions, get answers! (new and improved)

    BRW recently published their list of 'Top 100 Accounting Firms' in Australia. Interesting to see Deloitte on it's way to surpassing EY and KPMG. http://www.brw.com.au/p/sections/professions/accounting_the_fight_for_the_top_5LMrIBVlMqTF4JS2A9MpAK Pro-tip: If you're still in uni, nearly all...

    CADETSHIPS 2012 Discussion Thread

    So it seems that your heart is set on tax - a couple of things you should think about. 1) PWC R&D - From what I've heard their on a hiring blitz for this division given the new legislation which kicked in on 1/7/12. They've also pushed forward a couple of grads to start in July. Looks like...

    CA Program - Ask questions, get answers! (new and improved)

    Same! Can't believe it starts in a month... Did anyone go to the ICAA Business Forum this week? I went for a full day session today. Amazing experience. Great seminars, food and people. Definitely recommend it for those who've never gone. Price is also very reasonable.

    BIG 4 CADETSHIP for investment banking/ RBA intern?

    The advice in this thread is pretty solid, but might I add that if your passion lies in economics I would terminate the cadetship. To get into big 4 retail/IB you will need solid marks.

    Accounting Job Prospects?

    A credit average + midtier experience is more than enough to get a grad position. The big 4 will understand the fact you have less time for extracurriculars given you work fulltime. The question is - why do you want to leave WHK? Seems like a decent firm and youre guaranteed a grad position...

    Graduate salaries 2011

    I'm suprised, some of those grad salaries in the 60s seem pretty low considering the calibre of students who score places with the big firms. Although salary progression looks good, some are almost as low as big 4 accg. Are those "billable targets" daily targets? 7 hours/day looks pretty tough.

    First year at uni and hate it!

    Wow wtf dude. What you just wrote is probably the worst advice i've ever read on these forums. This is exactly the opposite of what you do if you want to be successful in university. please tell me your trolling
