Would the firms atleast call if you are unsuccessful? Or just leave you in the dark...

This can happen

I think mid tiers would probably leave you in the dark, but usually big 4 would notify you. EY called me yesterday saying I got rejected, and the AC was on Wednesday so they contacted me more than a week after :/

Wow congratulations! I think i'd rather know if I didn't get it than sit around waiting lol :/

If you got through to the AC than they will contact you to let you know if you were unsuccessful.

As if it's that hard to get into contact with the 14 people on one day, rather just a straight answer hey

Vacationer would be a better option considering they fill most grad roles through their vacationer program. But even to get into the vacationer program you will need a few extra curricular, join some student societies at uni or a sports of your liking. And vacationer is less competitive than graduate, in regards to Melbourne EY had 800 vacationer applications compared to 1600 graduate applications.

I'm not sure who else got the offer (expecting one more person, although they did say up to 4 this year if partners agree). I had a another friend in the interview as well, he didn't get anything either. I will be asking on Monday when I hand in an initial paper to sign who's my comrade at arms. I can see why they didn't contact anyone else and left it till Monday(only a theory), because I'm meant to sign and hand in a initial contract with them by Monday if I'm accepting the offer(and then additional forms will be handed), so if the other person who got the offer won't accept it(cause they got another offer or something) (I'll be accepting mine) , then they'll call the next person on the list to offer them so that even though they can fill it in with a graduate,probably better to have at least some cadets each year to keep that "flow" of cadets each year(or this whole thing makes crap sense,if any). I understand the waiting, I almost lost faith when it was today and like 3:30pm already, I was like Noooo.

Why not try and do both, work very hard throughout the year and set yourself up with a Vac program for the holidays!

 

[crazy_paki123]

ok, ill go for vacationers. i think i remember one of the HR people from Deloitte or KPMG cant remember on careers fair said they offer a full time grad position to 80% of vacationers.

noob question : what is vacationers?
What pathways are there for those not wanting to study part time? I thought it was just graduate entry.

It's basically another name for an internship.I guess accounting firms really use it, and they all pay you to be there during summer working, after which you have a chance to be offered a graduate job with them(similarly to an internship at a firm).

Despite all the other factors they take in, if you want a serious chance, probably should have a D average (I can imagine how hard that will be with second/third year subs).
