If you feel that your talents do not lie in law and you are honestly not enjoying it (i.e. puking from the idea of doing readings, exams and assignments) DROP IT NOW!!!! I am a final year commerce/law student from UNSW as well and I can tell you that if you want to do decent in law (i.e. 70+) it...

In my year there were about half of the 1st year cadets were accepted as 1st year uni students rather than as year 12s. But like I said before, this is more of an exception rather than the norm. Taking 1st year students can be a bit more risky for firms but at the end of the day, they are...

keep living the law dream

hmm...not 100% sure I can agree with this. Around half of the 1st year cadets this year in audit had already finished 1 year of full-time university. However, this is more an exception rather than a norm from comparing other intakes. This being said I know that at other firms cadets (that got an...

I once thought that these 'finance' cadetships would offer jobs in 'hardcore' front office type stuff like M&A, hedging, trading options, shares, bonds and other instruments. However,from talking to current cadets I've come to realise that its more to do with organisational controls, management/...

Do any experienced cadets or past cadets here find it difficult to stay motivated during university study (i.e.minimum high credit) considering that you pretty much are guaranteed a job after graduation? Right now I'm finding it hard to motivate myself to study at a level for D to HD. I was...

^ yeah, in terms of your extracurriculars you've got it all set (i'm a big 4 cadet btw) maybe just through in some sport, music, etc, just make sure you can expand on them and talk/ write about how they will allow you to contribute to the firm (transferable) along with the all importnat...

Hi, I'm thinking of majoring in actuarial (190/200 for combined ext 1 and 2 math) but I did not choose math1151 (higher math1A) this semester. Would I be able to choose actl1001 for semester 2? If yes, would I find it insanely hard considering I only would have done econ1203 (equivalent to...

I know that at EY, around half of the 15 or so 1st year cadets in audit/assurance are 2nd year uni students now (i.e. HSC class of 2008).

yeah, the salaries cadetships are pretty generous. It surprises me how people still complain given that like someone else said. you have zero skills to start off with. That being said, one would be pretty loaded if they managed to get the 10K scholarship + the cadetship. That's just godly...

Re: Leaving school depression? Not finding HSC stressful lol, there's still more exams and assessments to do in Uni- FUCK!

Whoa, I didn't know getting a co-op in uni is very easy compared to high school lol. But why do so many people leave? I have never heard people leaving cadetships like that, since I'm assuming its pretty damn hard to get one during uni.

Yeah you could do an LLB at UTS or Mac then transfer, but doing a cadetship then transferring to UNSW or Usyd Comm/ law would provide you some cash to support you through uni whilst going for a prestiguous law degree

I know that at EY, the cadets in tax and legal do a double degree in law whilst the assurance/ audit cadets do only a single. Doing a double degree + cadetship would be impractical in my opinion. Since the point of a cadetship is to fast track your career and doing a double degree would take...

Doing a cadetship may not really cut you off from comm/law as say if you didn't like the cadetship, you could transfer out after 1 or 2 years full time study (or equivalent in part-time) with a 97+ UAI (ATAR equivalent) and still graduate at the same time with your year 12 cohort. Yeah, I...

Rudd is a good PM by detailed programmatic specificity

^ Great to hear Pearling, I know how it feels. The pain, the pain. Now its over!

Lyonamu, Hey, so you've rejected EY? Because their closing date was the 28th

Yeah, thanks for the advice guys. I just mentioned IB because there seems to be much hype about it in terms of salary etc. However, I've decided to take a big 4 cadetship instead and further consider my options in finance/ accounting/ law in my first year. <input id="gwProxy"...
