    Will part-time job experience help get a job after completing a commerce/eco degree??

    Re: Will part-time job experience help get a job after completing a commerce/eco degr Well yes they are different (big 4 and ibank interviews). And that's why when I graduated I made $165k in my first year and big 4 grads made $40k.

    Importance of universities regarding employment

    Yes it's important. It's the difference between a low paying job that works lax hours and a low paying job that works long hours.

    What is investment banking?

    One punt and you could be done if you have around $500k saved up. Won't be in property though. I've been meaning to go back permanently all these years but just couldn't bring myself to liquidate assets here and shift over there, especially with the way things are going there. Was looking at...

    What is investment banking?

    Haha nothing will make more money than IB in all the conventional tyre kicking jobs we're talking about. But it is still well down. 150k sounds a bit low, but is probably right enough that it's within a big ballpark range. I was on more than that in 2010 and I remember we graduated around same...

    What is investment banking?

    Nothing amazing. Been there, done that. Left a long time ago. Great career for risk averse people who've given up becoming anything significant though.

    Straight commerce degree or commerce/law?

    If you do a single degree and get good marks, you'll be far more employable than doing comm/law at a cr@p university. And you save 2 years at university too. My biggest education mistake was doing 5 year comm/law. The best thing I did was to complete it in 4 years.

    Is law really that boring?

    Studying is in general boring. Not sure why I spent so much time doing it. If I had my time again I'd spend my study time renovating and starting my housing/building/soon-to-be-hotel portfolio earlier.

    What major would be best in commerce if your dream is to become a CEO one day?

    If you start your own hotel empire and one day build 50 hotels in Australia and more around the world, you'll be the CEO. If you have the title of a CEO in a company you don't own, you are an employee.

    Lawyer Salaries - Help me

    In my second job and my second career mistake in life - which was going to a top tier law firm (ps I had one interview and was hired in 10 minutes by the head decision maker), I saw a pay cheque of I think $3800 come in for the month. I nearly spewed blood when I got it. While I knew what the...

    Will Investment banks hire "macquarie students"???

    Haha not exactly, but you're not far off from being thrown out unless something caught my eye in 3 seconds. Eg you got 95+ in perhaps 90% of your subjects? Or you were the Councillor of City of Sydney?

    What is investment banking?

    I'll tell you what's best. When you have almost 10 houses in Melb/Syd, a few apartments in HK, and maybe one in NYC soon, collecting rent with a view to building either a mini hotel in the former or acquiring a block of tong laus in HK and redeveloping it. You can sleep with almost anyone you...

    Judging from your retarded question, I think a corporate job will suit you handsomely, future CEO.
