I'm up for a single degree. I know I'm getting payed less than the Corporate Tax people - A friend of mine got in for Corporate Tax and is doing a double degree (Commerce/Law) and is getting payed more. What are you doing?

I had PwC today. Needless to say, it was a terrifying experience. So very elite. Double the number of people at EY. I have no hope

babee_blu_eyez: Do you mean the EY contract?

 

[velox]

Ishq, how can you spell 'paid' as 'payed' Argghhh i hate it when people do that!!!!!

 

[DaisyAnh]

babee_blu_eyez: Do you mean the EY contract?

yeh i mean the EY contract..

the Ey luncheon is on the day of my Pwc conquest...n ive tried calling to change it but they wont return my calls!

 

[ishq]

babee_blu_eyes: congratulations!!! My friend has her luncheon on the same day as conquest too! But, its okay. Conquest officially ends at about 12.30 anyway... she called them up and they said they could arrange for her to leave earlier....you should talk to them

pete: I was in the room that alex mathewson (the blonde lady) was taking care of....ermm..the second one down the hall..
How about you?

 

[holla back girl]

ishq: how was your conquest....was it really that bad? what happened??

 

[holla back girl]

So Who Has Or Will Be Going To The Pwc Conquest?
If You Have; What Did You Think?
If You Will; What Do You Reakon It Will Be Like?

 

[pete_mate]

i think that was me, i forgot the HR persons name,

the one where the girls grouped together down the far left corner from the doors point of view?

i was on the table closest to the door, the FS section

 

[ishq]

ishq: how was your conquest....was it really that bad? what happened??

ermmmm...it wasn't bad...I just didn't feel as comfortable as I thought I would. There were heaps of people - and I wasn't sure where I fit in. Also, my interview was too short - she asked me one question and began her own stories. Compared to other interviewers, who went through the entire application form with their candidates, mine was pretty quick - I dont know why. Maybe I'm over analysing.

Group task was fun and written excercise was bloody confusing. So...yeah....
Haven't gotten any calls today, don't expect any tomorrow

ishq im doing a double degree in corporate tax as well...and im glad im getting more money lol...i got my PwC conquest on Wednesday, see how i go aye, im pretty sure i would take EY over PwC anyways...but still i would like to compare contracts if i get into both...just to feel good for a few days im not looking foward to conquest, i dont like elite at all...i like laid back and social...i hate old school...its so not in anymore but watch EY take over PwC in the near future...they are creeping up...

 

[holla back girl]

ishq: written exercise? is that group work or individual?
did u have to do any group presentations?
and who was interviewing you? manager?
yeh...from what you and meads say..ey sounds heaps better than pwc...

 

[holla back girl]

ishq:and what do u mean by heaps of people? 20 or 30?

meads: do u know how many spaces there is for tax at pec and how many are going to be at the conquest?

 

[holla back girl]

btw, has anyone ever heard of moore stephens? my friend told me that he's got a group activity thing with them (similar to conquest).
is it big? how come i've never heard of it before? where is it? does it have a rank?

 

[ishq]

holla_back_girl: by heaps of people I mean 50. Divided into 2 rooms of 25, groups of 5/6. Written excercise is individual.
My interviewer was a senior manager in the business assurance line..i think.
Yeah, there were group tasks and presentations


Meads: Full agreement with you there. Also, by less, I mean less by a tiny amount See you Tuesday

 

[VLTURBO]

What was the written exercise on?

 

[know_it_all]

pwc called me this morn to let me no that i cant change my conquest date to the wed cos its completely full n overbooked but they sed i cud leave at midday
