They're very different jobs and it also depends which service line you join in the accounting firm. At the end of the day it's getting experience in what the career path/role entails.

Whilst I was a cadet (at an accounting firm) at one point in my life, you need to work out what you want to acheive by doing one... as others have pointed out, there may be better ways to get work exp during uni.

indeed. used to be a mod here a long time ago :) in all seriousness though, study hard/work hard hasn't worked out too badly for me (with a bit of luck and strategic thinking). it sounds cliche though.

Study hard, work hard, and maybe one day you'll earn enough to be satisfied?

js? I have heard about the Optiver rem though being the highest in the industry although that's really the very top upper echelons of the field..

Those numbers are mind boggling... I only got into that range 10+ years after graduating from uni...

I think both fields have their challenges but generally if you aren't passionate about the topic, then it's that much harder to be successful in it. IMO if you can get into law, it will probably open up more doors since most professional jobs tend to value people who have studied law, and it...

out of interest which team were u in? i'd imagine things can vary quite a bit between the business units/areas.

I think it'd be worth trying to research what the actual roles are and then working out if it's aligned with what you're describing as your interest. For example, there's fundamental differences between say a trader, and a researcher/economist, and all the other various front and back office...

Just out of interest, what attracts you to "global markets and currencies", and what kind of work do you think you'd actually be doing on a day to day basis as a cadet (or even longer term assuming you stay in that same path/area)?

I'd go mirrorless over the shoes anyday. Just bought an R7 and am pretty happy with it so far :)

I had no idea what that was until I googled it. Are they actually good as sneakers?

Just switched over to Optus prepaid 5G to test out how fast it is in my area... and well, I'm impressed.

Forgot about this thread. I watched it and actually really enjoyed it. I know there were more than a few things which got tweaked for the show whether it be for theatrics or just simplicity in messaging/story, but overall still a good series to watch.

*shrug* Does it really matter?

Second this. Even I still think about the concepts I learnt in IPT back in the day when it comes to reading flowcharts and working out database schemas in my finance role. Newer ways of handling data beyond just the traditional relational databases and understanding optimal structures when...

I realised I didn't take your message very seriously so have PM'd you.

This seemed like a logical response to me, but I may be biased given I did acct/fin as well. I was in big 4 for 15+ years and with that length of tenure, you do lose a bit of sense of what normal WLB is. I did manage to get it reasonably under control towards the end of my time in big 4...
