    Maybe you were short-listed as some one who would get an offer if some one elses refuses . . . which I think is highly likely considering the amount of time you had to wait compared to others. Be thankful ^_^

    Guess that makes my choice easy if I get both Deloitte and EY. EY are also easier for me to travel to. Both EY and Deloitte have awesome people, so I couldn't really decide which way to go if by chance I get EY as well.

    Partner at EY, without naming names, told me it doesn't matter either way. (he was a no bullshit, brutally honest guy, which is awesome ^_^). They assume everyone applies for other big4 and have systems in place in case some one rejects their offer - they're not going to go to a "lesser"...

    Clueless, someone enlighten me!

    Yeah I guess I wasn't that clear...it's just that the term "trading" has gained a second meaning (to me at least). Basically: Trade = Trade (i.e. buy/sell on the different markets) Investor = Someone who trades for long term gain (relative to a Trader). Fundamental Analysis is a lot...

    For tax, we were all given name tags with International and Corporate tax on it and during the mingling session we were supposed to ask around the different divsions of tax and find where we wanted to go. It was great, very informative, but we were kicked out smack on 5.30 due to another...

    If a Partner from a certain division of tax is interviewing you, is it safe to assume that you'll be working in said Partner's division? If such is the case, what would you all do if you were being interviewed by a Partner in an area you don't want to be in?

    +1 The day went: - Information session with the different Tax partners doing a presentation of what each sub-division of Tax does - Lunch and informal chat session - Back to tables for group assignment - The 3 tasks above - Short break (more food and drinks available...or maybe they were...

    Big 4 Accounting Firms Internships 2008

    Yeah mate read that, but throuh university functions etc a lot of the people who work in tax at various firms (Big4 mainly) have just 'happened' to also have a law degree :P But I assume/hope it's not the case purely because Deloitte have their D.Academy, which treats everyone as if they're...
