Seremify mate from alot of your previous messages you seem like you have alot of talent. I am dumbfounded tho by your decision to go into accounting, but even more so to take on a cadetship with a big 4 firm. Maybe you are Asian and your parents recommend that you take a role with good job...

seremify: so do you mean when you sister got sent overseas for her firm, she STILL pays Australian taxes or she pays the overseas working tax? And also Capitalist I still fail to see your point. Regardless of the progressive tax rate, if you are in the same income bracket (and I'm sure...

Don't you have to pay income taxes if you do law?

Im doing FINS2624, FINS 3616, FINS3625 and ACCT2522. Applied Corporate FInance better be easy

lol they tell you accountants to stop sending emails to put a lid on costs don't they Steven? haha you must be bored 2 b posting on BOS forums.. where do u work atm? come out for lunch n stuff with kon etc. one day we'll show you how its like to be down with the high rollers hahaha jk

I work at ABN AMRO atm. 10 of my friends are completing summer internships at the other investment banks and we're trying to work out salaries or different roles from our colleagues as well. I can let you know grad salaries of different departments if you want, later on. The thing is, alot...

http://www.michaelpage.com.au/pdfstore?src=2005_Finance_Salary_Survey.pdf I think this is much less confusing and alot more accurate then Hays (hehe its first on google). Especially the Investment Banking salaries. Note the point on BONUSes not being included and that Graduates typically...

what does CNY have to do with CSFB if its in Sydney? Yeh im doing FINS2624, FINS3616 and FINS3625 (ACF) + management accounting sem1 Sem2 I havn't decided yet, as Im going on exchange. But if i was here.. securities valuation and prob options+futures+risk my tus arn't confirmed yet ive...

haha because you must be pretty bored at CSFB to be emailing on BOS. I'm at UNSW too, but 2nd year, majoring in finance. Working at an investment bank atm also. Id probably be doing the same subjects as you this semester, since with double degree u lag a little bit.. what subjects are u doing?

I don't know all there is about professional recognition in the finance industry, but I'm pretty sure CFA is the equivalent to finance majors as CPA/CA is to Accounting. Membership/Associate of SIA (or the new merged institute) is generally seen by employers as scrapy.. its more of a basics...

Seraphim who are you and do u go to UNSW? Yeah, finsoc was just a society created to boost a few grads CVs. My tutor was one of the founders and he told me that. lol

do you guys know the approximate salaries of actual analysts? not graduate analysts, but the guys a step up from grads. I know for a fact sales traders "mostly get over 200K", from the head of sales trading where i work... but then some grad told me that your average EQUITIES RESEARCH...

who are you guys and what relation would u have with Wharton?

No offence Seremify but please tell me you accepted a cadetship at a big 4 accounting firm or one of the more prestigious investment houses (don';t think they do 'cadetships' per se) instead of B.ACC?

b.acc is much better then any cadetship. Same goes for any other co-op. A cadetship is just a full time bottom level role (yes the underlings do the most work.. didn't u know?) with very little pay. Most cadets know and complain they don't get paid enough. You don't need to work 3 years...
