I find my work social life extremely entertaining...similar if not better to the social life i would have if i was at uni full time. Its alot cheaper too...i can guarentee you. ;)

You only receive a grant when you are NOT working at all, and technically that should be during years three and four of your traineeship, because you wont be working at all (unless you get asked to). Tax is law only in a technical sense. A law degree would assist in understanding because it...

You won't get the trainee grant in the extra two years, because you will be working part time at EY instead. You would not want to take another two years of grant anyway, otherwise you will owe EY another four years of service to pay it back (this is not good if you want to go try other...

Yeh...well...I did him...

Yeh you are right about the accounting major...AABS you need an accounting major, tax you dont. However when you are finished your traineeship you will not be put on a nomral graduate program (if you were what would be the point of doing a traineeship!? You will be behind!). You start as a...

This thread should be closed...lol.

Was my speech ok last night? Hope so.

Yes you will find out some time next week. The assessment days are being run from the 3rd to the 7th of July, which is less than a week and a half away. And further to that, the odds are you will know whether you have an offer by the evening of the 7th as well. Its all done very quickly...

Good luck to all with your applications...EY or not...:P I may see some of you next Thursday night at EY for the pre-assessment day info evening, I will be giving a talk with a few tips for the day. Who knows, I might of seen you last Wednesday night at the EY info night already.

This is a tough question to answer, because I have seen and heard so many different things. It seems that the hours you work vary depending on what industry group you are in. For example, it seems that employees in Financial Services are often back after 8pm, because they are generally a...

Well I am just telling you what people in those positions have told me...and they don't have any reason to talk down their pay, after all they are trying to make us stay there. I have even had salaries quoted, and they are by no means the figures shown in the survey. None the less, it is quite...

You don't have to 'buy into' big 4 partnerships, that is only the case in law firms.

Ok this is where the ambiguity of positions/titles gets in the way of understanding. Which is evident in the fact that you have completely misunderstood what I have said. At big 4 firms (all of them to my understanding) a 'partner' is an equity partner, they just share different percentages...

I have spoken to partners/principals/senior managers at work about this BRW table and some of the other more popular ones, and they all claim they are rubbish, particularly in respect to partners earning over $1 million each. From what i can gather, a first year partner will be earning about...

At big 4 firms your looking at close to 30k, at mid-tiers your looking at closer to 20k. Good money for an 18 year old with no qualifications regardless.

Are you kidding!? A Cadetship is a social life! Friday night drinks.................

Class...however I was hoping for a bit more Blood Sugar in there.

Buddy Rich, Mike Portnoy (it took me months to learn stream of consciousness for my HSC), Brain, Travis Barker, Jose Pasillas, Lars Ulrich...but Chad Smith is the bomb.

I am not saying that the mid-tier's would take over, but it generally seemed consensus from all the firms I spoke to that they could not afford for one of the Big 4 to go down. The clients from the firm that goes down can not neccessarily go to one of the other big 4 because of independance...

Yawnnn...but seriously with the whole culture thing...have you got any idea what your talking about? Being humans in the same country has nothing to do with corporate culture...read a book or something...please!
