    got another interview. Went for an interview with Aviva today for a tax trainee job.
    I agree with what others are saying about companies not getting back to you. whats worse then applying and hearing nothing i have had firms where i have got an interview and then hear nothing.

    The one I sent off today has a closing date of Friday which is the day most offices will close for christmas so I expect I won't hear anything until the new year.

    Beechwood? Yeah, they don't acknowledge applications, I sent them one about three weeks ago. Doubt they'll have many spots available, TBH.

    No probably not but I get the feeling it's more than just one.

    Hope this is true but a bit of festive cheer for anyone who took up a role with EY..apparently from January they are introducing time off in lieu for overtime. A nice thing for anybody starting in September. Heard it from a friend of mine who works there so it seems legit!

    Happy Christmas all!

    Yeah it's true. Only for people in audit though. Hopefully they will actually be allowed charge the time. It's a problem in a few of the firms, particularly in the industry audit departments whereby the TOIL does not get approved.

    How much TOIL would you expect in the average Big4/Middle tier audit department? Couple of days a year?

    Depends on the firm and the jobs you are on. There is no average amount really. You could be on one of the big bank jobs and accrue over a months TOIL. You could build that up working on an insurance company and a fund also.
    You are quite likely going to work fairly long hours in a Big4 audit role, but again this isn't a given. I know plenty of people who worked less than 40 hours every week in busy season during their first year.

    How do you mean? They would probably use it as study leave or else take it as holidays.

    Wow. I just wouldn't expect for you to get that much, I thought it would be capped at least.

    I know as a trainee solicitor it is expected that you do a lot of extra hours, though they are paid much better.

    Guy who told me says he expects he might be able to 'clock up' up to 11 days due to TOIL, I don't know how accurate that is but he seemed quite happy about its introduction!

    As well as transfer pricing, they are also looking for people to do a masters/PDA in September. Is this a year-round thing?
    I really think the PDA is the way to go for me, would anyone have any idea how many places on the PDA courses KPMG provide funding for?

    Applied yesterday to a small firm at about 5pm, got a 'Thanks but no thanks' response by half 11 this morning. Brutal! :-/

    But at least they responded, I guess...

    Its just that I think they are spending alot of time on interviews. And I thought getting a choice of time was odd too.

    That's not so odd, many companies realise that candidates have lives too so offer a bit of flexibility. Of course, most companies just give a time, like it or lump it! :pac:
