Keep their pride intact? I'm actually one of those you refer to here (Accounting graduate working mid tier, earning mid 30's). The problem with being a grad is that you don't have the experience. If you don't have any experience, you aren't going to be particularly valuable to any...

Not sure if this is an elegant solution, but I'd say the answer is "No".

Haha, just skimmed the last few pages. Stop feeding the troll, people! Edit: Although I must admit, some good entertainment was provided by our engineering buddy. "intellergance". hahaha, love that!

Nah, it's not required for either of those

Well there's a real problem, you're actually doing that subject. What a waste of time! I did it as an elective and regretted it. It's best avoided like the plague, if thats possible. Unless it's a core unit for your degree, in which case I pity you :P

First year micro eco is fairly difficult, as first year subjects go. I'd definitely rate it more difficult that 1st year accounting.

haha, thats a novel idea! My firm pays a finders fee too, but I think they might see thru me, if I don't really "know" the person. Although maybe it's worth a try lol

dyun, the maths required for finance at uni is simple. A few formulas for some subjects, black scholes option pricing and other forumulas like that, but they aren't too difficult.

Uber- I did Further Maths in VCE, and had no worries with uni finance maths whatsoever. Admittedly I got a study score of 38, but I don't think that mattered. Basically, the maths in uni finance is pretty simple. There are some reasonably complex formulas to remember sometimes, but they don't...

I know a mate who is working at ANZ for a 10-week internship over summer. $220 per day. Can someone tell me why vacationers get paid so much more than grads? I find that quite strange!

You probably wouldn't know much about it, as it's not one of the big 4. Perhaps I was using the phrase "mid-tier" a little liberally as the firm I'm going to be working at isn't as big as, say, BDO or Grant Thornton or any of those similar sized firms. I was hoping for some more general...

AH! That's one option- they just didn't submit their figures.

There's definitely a huge skills shortage for accountants atm. My marks have not been spectacular (low credits) and I have no experience in any accounting or financial services firm, yet I was able to secure a grad job in a highly credentialled (I believe) mid tier chartered Accounting firm...

Hi all, For the benefit of those who are starting graduate positions soon (like myself) what are your tips and do you have any advice? Needless to say, I'm looking to hear from those who are already working in an accounting firm and may be able to shed some light. I'll talk to all my friends...

Hi, Does anyone know anything much about the criteria for this list? I was able to get a copy of the list on the net, and I noticed that one firm I know of wasn't listed. However, the firm has a lot more staff than some of the firms down the bottom end of the list. So it seems a bit strange...
