Accounting Cadetship 2008 (6 Viewers)

[Suvat]

I do know several people who were cadets at mid tiers but are now working in big 4 as graduates, so it certainly isn't the end of the road.

 

[Vagabond]

^ That's true

Big4 love mid-tier lateral hires

 

[Black Hawker]

LOL. Why? I did apply to accounting firms with cadetships.

Was just wondering about other pathways.

is the KPMG thing on friday compulsory?
hmm business attire i dont want to wear a tie again! ohwell ill go to tution in a suit

how nice was the contract thing they sent, i didnt get any others so i wudnt know if every company gave the same thing, but yeahh giving us our own business cards already was pretty sweet

wow 30 places in audit? but is that including the fact they know a fair few ppl will drop out of em? i know 4 mates not accepting KPMG i think, so yeah is it like 30+, with an aim of getting 30? or like 30 with knowing ppl drop out

mid-tier career for me!

HAHA HAHA CUMDUMPSTER

Jordan,

You really have troubles depicting reality and communicating clearly. Your story grows more and more complex every time. Interviews, sleeping in, inter-state interviews, attaining an accounting scholarship... Goodness, it is all happening in your life!

For the record, an accounting scholarship at UTS (where I attended... I studied out at the Kurringai Campus) is less benefficial than a cadetship. You need to pass all your subjects, and between you and me, accountancy/business/finance degrees are bloody hard. But, judging from your overly egocentric posts, you will be 'fine'. You come across as a person who is easily intimidated and untrustworthy. Also, your negative postings reveal something quite striking - you put others down readily! With postings of that nature, who would want you in their firm? Also, I pity your social life, staying online to the early hours of the morning.

Jordan, get some guts and stop hiding behind layer upon layer of utter rubbish. Get a pair (or grow a pair) and use them. In the world of business, if you carry on, like you are now, you won't get very far!

I would much prefer a cadetship, as I would have a driving force/motivational tool while I study. Whereas, if I am on a scholarship, I still need to line up a job down the track. Oh, and here's another thing Jordan, your lecturers and tutors don't give a flying fuck who you are, what school you went to, where you live etcetera. If you can't produce the results, or work to the standard, they will fail you! Know that this reality will face you in every subject. So much so, there is pressure on you!

Good luck mate, because you are sure going to need it!

I recieved this as a PM.

I also loll'd at the effort for someone that pitys my social life.

Believe it or not it wasn't me- but I've had more than my fair share of people from BoS coming up to me at various events... I still don't know how they figure it out.. sneaky bunch of people those BoSers are though!

mid-tier career for me!

frankly the exposure you get from mid-tier is better than not having any at all. its all about working hard and work your way up, im sure if you applied for a job in the future for Big 4, your mid tier crudentials would look a lot more attractive than people who just graduated with a standard uni degree

 

[Vagabond]

i dont want to wear a tie again!

^ This guy is in for an unpleasant surprise when he starts working

 

[shadyhaze]

nahh KPMG didnt give ipod shuffles, unless its hidden the business case they gave

i think its called business case (or i made tht up - the leather thing that everyone has?) and a parker pen

i like it, mainly coz it saves me spending 100+$ buying one myself

ahaha, by then it will be fine, but business attire to a cocktail event? kinda odd to me! i bought an awesome shirt to wear to a cocktail type event

 

[leoyh]
