Why is everyone so hung up about working for the BIG4?
[TW]Fox;13298760 said:Not true. Try and apply with a First from Oxford but 280 UCAS points. You won't get through the sift*
*Yes yes I know, you wouldnt get into Oxford with 280 UCAS points but you know what I mean.
How did you get onto an engineering degree with only 60 ucas points? Genuine question.
You sure or you basing that on what you have read?
Who are the Big 4?
I can think of two people who studied Accounting/Accounting and Finance. One is now a fully qualified chartered acc and the other is working at Goldman Sachs. I'm pretty sure if you asked them, they would say they benefited from having their degree.
Are you working at the same time as doing yours?
Chances are someone who wants to do it won't be able to find a company willing to take on people to start ACA ACCA quals in this current climate.
So even if you decide to do it on your own back, it'll take around 3(?) years to do all the exams (maybe longer) and then you'll need at least 3yrs experience before you are chartered iirc?
Now is really not a bad time to go and do a decent degree, in 3/4 years time there won't be as much unemployment as there currently is.
Ahh young un, I wish i started doing this when I was at collegetbh I'd of liked to gone the part time study route
I'm not sure that's entirely accurate.
Architects run the project though, and design all the aesthetics of the project, which is what I'm interested in, not the boring maths behind it all.
Ah, but energy efficiency, and in fact all the environmental side of things is usually planned by the architect![]()
Look, you just doodle random drawings and steal most of the money from a project as an architect......to be honest it seems a good life, do it!
I'm trying to make the point that, if you have an inclination to do the ACA then I can't see the point in doing an accounting degree as you'll spend 3 years relearning it anyway after graduation, when you could get a degree in another subject and have a broader range of knowledge.
I can see the benefit in something like Accounting and Finance if you then go work in something like IBD as it gives you a good understanding of finance etc.
Does anyone else hate phone interviews? I really struggle with not being able to see the person I'm talking to. The Civil Service have the right idea - no phone interviews at all.
