What's your source? My internship hasn't been revoked, I'd assume they'd tell us to go before the graduates (I think it was shortened by a week though).

Everyone here will say do commerce at UNSW/USYD if you can, unless you're aiming to transfer into UTS bus/law as it will be easier than doing it through USYD/UNSW. /end thread

^_^ Happy to be wrong then.

I think the OP was referring to summer interns --> no we don't get paid, we're casuals i.e. we don't accrue annual /sick leave but we earn a higher rate of pay per $. Even then, it's not compulsory to take paid annual leave around christmas time if some one doesn't want to - it's just...

I was thinking more a long the lines of whether I'll have to accept the offer within a certain time period, stopping me from applying for grad jobs any where else. What division are you in?

If we get offered a grad job after summer vac, what are the conditions with the offer? I'm mainly concerned with if I want to transfer to another division, apply for other jobs etc

Whilst big4/accounting might not be nearly as competitive as finance (which I admit it isn't) it still is very competitive - I know dozens of people with out internships this summer. There are plenty of accounting jobs out there, but quality ones such as big4, mid-tier and certain private...

This + "There are no poor accountants" (Yet to work in big4, but will be starting soon - am infinitely more interested in a finance career like the OP)

Re: best uni for business? USYD/UNSW UTS/Macquarie Rest /thread

Learning the engrish, i sea?

I disagree based on the opinion of a finance tutor at UNSW who I respect very much and also looking through the sample papers. Any BComm acct/fins graduate should be able to pass if they spend all summer putting in a solid amount of study, especially if they do complimentary acct/fin subjects...

To the above posters giving advice, do you think it would be beneficial for the OP to attempt the CFA level 1 exam (hopefuly pass) to remedy his poor marks?

I'm 99% sure in my EY application I had "Deloitte" once in there, cause I saved all my answers before I submitted them in a word document. Still got to the assessment centre though so maybe I just suck at saving my answers in a word doc.

In order to be eligible for the CA program, most (if not all) accounting majors do a Business/Commercial Law minor (or in this case, major) to satisfy subject pre-reqs. I can't really imagine any one doing it for any other reason -_-

Is anyone currently doing Brave New World?

Nice pink signature, hypocrite. If you're dead set on doing 2 non-econ majors, just transfer to a BComm after your first year, as long as you get a high C avg you should be fine (and 1st year BComm/BEco is the easiest of all first year undergrad degrees!).

Good work, I hear they ride vacationers around the office like horses there. ^_^ jks
