Milkround Offers 2013/2014

I haven't got a Job yet so what happens if I don't get one before lectures start? Do I just apply again next year?

Anyone sitting the Cap 2 FR introductary exam on Wednesday?

I am (I hope!).. I still haven't got notification of my exemptions, even though I know I'm entitled to full CAP1. I signed up for the assessment but I don't have a student number yet and my CAI registration has been delayed because of the exemptions - so I hope I don't get turned away now when I show up to the RDS Wednesday evening! I'll be ringing the institute first thing tomorrow.

Going to have to sit down this evening now and refresh my double entry knowledge.

Im sure theyl let you sit it if you were contacted about sitting it.. If your registered for it they shouldnt turn you away. Iv received my exemptions but I definitely need to try brush up on mine before Wednesday seems like forever since I last looked at anything like that. Hope its not too hard

Have you had a look at the past / sample papers? They don't look too bad but will definitely require some study!

I printed the one I could find online off but honestky havnt had a chance to look at it. I will tomorrow though and hopefully some of it will come back to me

How good a chance would you have in the milkround interviews with a 2.1 and 8 months experience in a top 10 firm?

Quite good id say but don't take anything for granted

Well the assessment wasn't exactly friendly was it?! Time was an issue but I felt the questions asked were all of the hardest standard they could think of too. There were no questions that I would have considered easy...and it made a mockery of the previous year's paper in my opinion!

Found it so difficult. In compared to the previous year it was awfully hard. Bit unfair as we only had the standard of the previous year to go on which was no where near as hard. And I also hadnt enough time

Hi guys,

I'm considering applying for some of the Big4 Milk rounds this month and my situation is quite different to most applicants who would be final year students so would appreciate some input / advice.

My background is that I'm 27 (which is obviously a lot older than recent grads). Law degree and Masters in Law, QFA qualified and 2+years legal experience. I'm considering qualifying in tax so this seems like a good starting point to apply.

Anyway, I suppose I'm just interested to hear on what my chances of interviews/success would be for someone with my background bearing in mind my age/educational background and experience and that I don't have any business/accounting/tax experience. I certainly don't fit the average mould for these roles!

Would really appreciate any thoughts/advice!

What would be the pay difference between the big four and a top ten firm like baker tilly or RSM?

Anyone have any examples of answers to some of the application questions?
