BRW recently published their list of 'Top 100 Accounting Firms' in Australia. Interesting to see Deloitte on it's way to surpassing EY and KPMG. http://www.brw.com.au/p/sections/professions/accounting_the_fight_for_the_top_5LMrIBVlMqTF4JS2A9MpAK Pro-tip: If you're still in uni, nearly all...

So it seems that your heart is set on tax - a couple of things you should think about. 1) PWC R&D - From what I've heard their on a hiring blitz for this division given the new legislation which kicked in on 1/7/12. They've also pushed forward a couple of grads to start in July. Looks like...

Same! Can't believe it starts in a month... Did anyone go to the ICAA Business Forum this week? I went for a full day session today. Amazing experience. Great seminars, food and people. Definitely recommend it for those who've never gone. Price is also very reasonable.

The advice in this thread is pretty solid, but might I add that if your passion lies in economics I would terminate the cadetship. To get into big 4 retail/IB you will need solid marks. A cadetship looks great on the resume but balancing fulltime work/uni is tough. Why not just do finance/eco...

Congrats mate. Is NY a secondment? I'm not quite sure what to make of the changes to the CA program. The scrapping of focus sessions does reduce the benefits of networking (probably a cost-cutting method). But the flexiblity of online learning/assessment is overwhelmingly appealing...

yeah they still exist, you just have to ask

I'm suprised, some of those grad salaries in the 60s seem pretty low considering the calibre of students who score places with the big firms. Although salary progression looks good, some are almost as low as big 4 accg. Are those "billable targets" daily targets? 7 hours/day looks pretty tough.

YouTube - Gang Starr - Moment Of Truth

yeah i was going to post this. Amazing song. Hip hop does not dominate the top 40. You'll find that most songs posted in this thread never had much commercial airplay most people have heard this but anyway- YouTube - Jay-Z - D'Evils

itt: post good hip hop - songs most people havent heard of. rules: one song per post. ill start: YouTube - Dj Jazzy Jeff - For Da Love Of Da Game

Wow wtf dude. What you just wrote is probably the worst advice i've ever read on these forums. This is exactly the opposite of what you do if you want to be successful in university. please tell me your trolling
