    What is investment banking?

    Great thread. Bear in mind that nominal tax rate in HK is also much lower than that in Australia, where you're paying tax at 45cents in the dollar above $180k (which is basically most bankers). I think you'll find that irrespective of position/job/industry/seniority, the Asians work longer and...

    Haha good question mate. McKinsey don't run internships in Australia (and in any case I know the three grads who got into McK Australia this year and they are absolute beasts and much better than me in every facet of life lol). I did the next best thing of applying to China - only problem is...

    State Ranking HSC Economics + HSC Business Studies Tutor

    Congrats to whoever gets this position, best of luck to all haha! One suggestion: instead of having ONE elite "disciple" as such, why not tutor one small class (e.g. 3 students) intensively throughout the year? Lower your rates to say, $30/hour each student, and hand pick 3 students with...

    Top Interview Questions

    I think you'll also find that employers these days place heavy emphasis on behavioural questions - questions that ask you to recall life situations/stories/anecdotes to show a quality or value. Examples include: 1) When was a time you faced extreme disappointment, and how did you react to...

    commonwealth bank teller job?

    I'd think being a customer service representative, apart from paying quite well for an entry-level job, would also open doors for you later on especially if you do a business-related degree at uni. With all the graduate job applications, they all ask "are you currently or have you previously...

    HSC Chemistry Equations

    The won't get too bad. Just be careful that with combustion you can have a fraction as the coefficient of oxygen on the reactants side. Other than that it will be quite bread and butter.

    the public sector

    I guess the difference in the public sector is that there is no (or at least much less distinct) "bottom line." In the private sector, the hierarchy system is such that you report to a manager who will report to their manager who will report to the executives. These executives have a key stake...
