    whats needed to get IB

    See what I've said above. The same applies to you. Also further point to add to my list from the top, - Network. Find someone on the inside who you can ask questions and who'll pass on your application to HR. It's that much more meaningful when you have a VP behind you or even a very popular...

    Master of Finance - UNSW/USYD?

    Then you'd be wanting to do a more theoretical Masters by Research. From what I've gathered, the courses you have been looking at are by coursework - they're completey different things (one you can do on HECs, the other you you pay an arm and leg for) I'd be inclined to think that you...

    Master of Finance - UNSW/USYD?

    That's either the dumbest thing I've heard or you're one big fat liar. Any course you do is always about the career first. Why else do you bother paying $20,000 for a degree when you can get the same knowledge for $10.00 worth of library fines??? (Watch Good Will Hunting) Better yet give me...

    Master of Finance - UNSW/USYD?

    As someone who has unsuccessfully interviewed with a couple of IB's in the Asia-Pac region, all I can say is do an accounting master's with some finance electives. While all the advanced subjects are great, there's no point in learning something which won't help you get a job. When you...

    explain i-banks to me..

    Commercial Banks (ANZ, CBA, NAB, Westpac) make money by taking monetary deposits and lending out that money at a higher rate. Not hard to imagine when you consider most deposit accounts only provide you with 1% interest (excluding them new fancy ING 5% internet accounts) while loans these day...

    What do employers think of UWS?

    To the original poster, I say go to where your gut tells you to go. You're young, have plenty of opportunities ahead of you as well as the luxury of time to rectify whatever mistakes you make as a youth in your journey towards meaningful employment. I have had some experience with the whole...

    Fellas lets ask the questions to the ladies we always wanted...

    I've got a question for all the ladies out there. It's the million dollar question. Why do you play mind games? i.e. Why do you never say something straight out but encrypt it in all these riddles and expect men to instantly decode it?
