    Recently qualified aca myself. No PQE exp. Being looking to do the travel thing.

    Applied for a good few Cayman/Carribean jobs and responses were few and far between. (I'm non big4 which may be a hinderence here)

    Oz seems to be a mixed bag. A few of my friends went to Sydney and found work very hard to come by. Some coming home/some sticking it out. In saying that I know a few who have gone to perth and have found work after about a month on average. (Although this is the busy time in oz as most company year ends are in June)

    Heading to Canada myself next month on a flyier. I'll post an update from there if things are any way decent.

    In any event things mite be a bit better when ur finished ur final exam. Hopefully!!
