That's quite true. I think I could've done better had I not freaked out so much.

SBP, PKF, Hallchadwick, Moore Stephens to name a few (can't emphasise enough that ALL of them do take in 1st years). I had an offer from PwC and EY when I applied as a 1st year student. I don't really understand why you think firms aren't interested in hiring a 1st year student but whatever...

They all do. You just need to call them & state your case... if they want you they'll ask you to meet them.

Does that mean you just finished 1st year?

Some decent clothes on your back, perhaps your TFN and bank details... other than that there's no reason to bring anything.

I have worked there as part of the CA Achiever program and Eagle will be working there. I'm at EY now. There's no point creating new threads... it would be hard to keep track.

It's one of the smaller accounting firms.... nothing wrong with butting in.

Yeah it was for CA Achiever... yeah I had no idea who they were before that but a lot of people who used to work there have left since so I guess you'll be meeting a lot of newbies yourself.

Yeah they're not very supportive of uni but it is still doable.

Yeah it's not. Sooner or later you'll have to pick between the two. It's a waste for the reasons mentioned above. Not speaking so practically though, if you want to do it purely out of interest then go for it.

Hey I worked at SBP for a little while... they are very nice :)

Oh dude that doesn't mean you can't apply. I called the HR people directly but the other two may have just used the form. If you still want to apply you can... it's never too late cos we're so short staffed! If you joined you could save some of us from doing ridiculous hours :)

Eh? Where did you hear that? If they didn't, myself and two other trainees would not have got in otherwise!

Party rocked!

He wrote something about reviewing irrelevant responses negatively & everyone assumed that to mean negative marking. It wasn't negatively marked.

No it's not a stupid subject... like Grizzly said it's very practical. It's just taught poorly. I would suggest to you to attend every lecture and record them if you can... if not... write down EVERYTHING he says :p

49 and 50 are FS floors. Not actuaries. 50 is really not very high considering the location of the building. It is on a slope downwards.

You get marked for attendance in the lectures and if you rely on his lecture notes purely you are going to fail. On the other hand if you rely purely on the textbook, you won't do well either. It is really important to understand what he's talking about. No there is no sample exam since we...

It's not difficult to understand. It's an interesting subject that is taught poorly. There are many things wrong with the course and it starts with David Feldman (the lecturer). Anyway it's a prereq you can't escape ... glad that's behind me

It's sweet how considerate you think they are... haha.
