I interned with Deloitte back in uni. It was in IT though. They made a nice offer but I went for Oracle as the work was more relevant. Deloitte are amazing pay masters though , very competitive pay packages. :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I'm in contact with a few other firms so I may get some form of choice when it comes to decision time. How did you find your placement?

Anthony Posted April 15, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2010 Jonno, have you checked your local AIESEC chapter (they're based in Unis) I did a traineeship (i.e. internship) with them when I was at uni in 1989. In Capetown. Working for Touche Ross (as it was then), now Deloitte. Awesome doesn't even begin to describe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I'm in contact with a few other firms so I may get some form of choice when it comes to decision time. How did you find your placement? My uncle(dads younger bro) was a senior consultant in Deloitte. He forwarded my CV to the HR deptt with a recommendation and they liked my CV and made me an offer. They made me a permanent offer but the work was more programming based and I was interested in the functional side of IT rather than writing tens of thousands of lines of code in PL/SQL and damage your brain trying to debug it. Oracle were hiring straight from the campus and I liked their offer and accepted. :winkold: He is now with HSBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really fancy working abroad to be honest, although it would be a good experience no doubt. The partner did tell me that I could be travelling with them to the UK on audits during my internship which was a nice surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably belongs in another thread but i cant be arsed scrolling down.I've been thinking that for years. Although WWII WAS much bigger than anything else we've been involved in. What does "the war" mean in the U.S.A.? Vietnam? Afghanistan? U.S. Villans please enlighten us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
