Will be applying during the weekend.

Any thing special I should mention for EY? or any other firms?

Obviously mention what the companies emphasise themselves, for instance EY it's "People first culture" and the idea of "quality".

Good luck.

 

[redruM]

cool.

Thanks.

I was talking to some people today, the best piece of advice that can be offered is to follow the application...dont bullshit, and dont fill up space with answers that dont belong.

Always remember that academics is no more important than other things.

I see you're doing a double... they might be a bit iffy about that just cos it takes you super long to finish your degree.

the firm i'm at will let you do a double, they just wont support you for the other subject... they also will often take people after they have one or two years of uni under their belts - different places like different things, look around

Every firm takes people after one or 2 years of uni
Whether they let you do a double is not the issue, the issue is the additional support required in terms of study leave and whatnot. The bigger firms don't provide any additional support.

When's your assessment centre date?

 

[Raginsheep]

They are taking in vacationers (ie. 1st years) though.

Is this for accounting only?

 

[Imposta]

I found this through google.

I skimmed bits and pieces and everyone seems to be pro EY but I didn't apply for them ><

Has anyone went through the PWC Conquest for graduates? This year or last? I know some of the other lines of service have already gone through ...

P.S. Hi Minai.

<-- Victor from DDR.

PwC Conquest for Advisory was on today.

 

[Imposta]

Did you attend Jasee? Or know anything about it? In particular what the partner interview is like?

I'm going to the business assurance one on Tuesday.

 

[ricenoodles]

Has anyone else heard back from Ernst & Young yet after having completed the assessment centre?

 

[jase_]

Na I didn't go to PwC Conquest sorry. I have EY assessment centre next Wednesday.

Anyone looking into Tax?

Anyone looking into Tax?

Tax is for boring people with no communication skills and love the numerical pad on the keyboard.

Usually people doing double are in tax 'coz they don't need CA right?

 

[ricenoodles]

People working in tax at Ernst & Young are still required to take the CA program.
