    New Ipods: which one should i get?

    i've been reading that the ipod classic leaves a bit to be desired in sound quality. However, i haven't seen any alternatives in the iriver/sony/samsung that is 80gb or so. 8gb is a joke as far as i'm concerned, If i carried an mp3 discman with 12 cd's i'd have more room.

    Big 4 Accounting Firms Internships 2008

    It depends, at the end of the day its largely a USA issue. there are clients that are listed in the US however that are affected. On the whole though, i think its better to know some general large issues about a few different clients that you know the firm has in the division. Then asking...

    gah, don't. Sarbanes oxley is old news now, if you ask it the manager will probably groan internally at your bad attempt at being topical. I'm sure you can think of something more original.

    Big 4 Accounting Firms Internships 2008

    seems like a weird year, i vaccied in FS at p-dubbz at the beginning of this year, they didn't have the rolling application dates, and no psychometric, just interview then conquest. They called me, and others, like 2hours after. They make up their mind on the day prettymuch, but if...

    Why is it so hard to find a job?

    Re: Why is it so hard to find a fucking job? Why the fuck would you want to work at macdonalds?. Be happy they rejected you. Of course they didn't hire you, they could tell you weren't a deadshit which meant they knew you'd leave after a week of working in such a terrible job. Stop...

    Did you get your own private little room with a bar fridge and free drinks and stuff as well? i thought that was awesome. But yeah, i agree, the shape/sequences stuff was very tight for me. But the calc is just one of those cheap ones, just get used to it beforehand.

    Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

    i saw this movie, firsat 15minutes were ok. But then it becomes waay too cheesy and the movie is very bad as a whole. The first one was way better, it didnt't take itself as seriously as well.

    i did the psych test today, its very frustrating. There are situations where you're provided with 4 qualities that describe you, and often all 4 of them are very much representative of you and you can't pick one that you're "least". very annoying test

    You still haven't said whether this is in the Mac Capital division or other front office. It would be very unusual if this is the case. Further, it'd be virtually impossible in this market in the future.

    i know i know, i just wanted to illustrate that comparing banks is a little bit redundant. I know people with HD averages that are happy to get a position at any firm at the end of the day. leoyh: i don't normally point out spelling, but threw rather than through is quite a doozy.

    If you're only aiming for a 96 uai, you'd be lucky for any front office positions to take you. haha, arrogant little hsc kiddie

    Accounting Cadetship 2008

    God knows where you got that from or what that misguided statement even means. Banking is finance, but you probably don't know what finance is anyway. To express more clearly, "commerical banking" eg. NAB has IB divisions + trading divisions that are very similar to Investment banks. It...

    Accounting Cadetship 2008

    All financial planners do is plug in abritrary numerical weightings for client preferences on risk into a set mathematical formula and then select a plan with the highest "utility" the output of that formula. That's all they do, they don't manage the actual funds as far as i'm aware. The...

    haha i'm suprised that didn't happen at ernst and young first. they're meant to be the drinking firm. That guy with the 55 average is suprising, i mean, he really musn't be the smartest guy. I know marks are only one part of the pie, but that's gotta be extremely rare.

    jordankuai22, It doesn't matter what cadetship you have got. You are clearly an arrogant fucktard, and any company will see that a few weeks into your start date and let you go.
