Which Big 4 did you turn down and why?

I do a physics degree with 25 hours contact time a week, with another around 20 hours of outside work on top. I also run a company, am President of an inter-university business competition, co-founder/vice president of my uni's investment club and managing a £100,000 budget for my university's 100th anniversary ball.

My work commitments are easily more than 60 hours a week, but I still find enough time and energy to go out for drinks with friends, meet family and whatever else that people do in life.

Depends on how much gimping you intend to do in life.

Lol your actually doing 20 hours a week outside lectures.

I wouldn't apply to Big 4 even if it meant I would be unemployed.

By the way, some bankers and traders' earnings easily outstrip those of most "millionaire self employed business men".

Mussy, do me a favour and shut your stupid ****ing mouth, when you have any achievements worth bragging about, any experience of the real world, then come back and speak to me.

As it is, I did get abit money crazed and did consider banking a few months back, I've since come to my senses, it would be a piece of cake for me to be a banker if I wanted to, but I don't, so piss off and get studying for your GCSE's or whatever it is you're doing at the mo.

by the way how is econpal coming along man?

Ladies and gents, we've had a new winner. The 'biggest head and ego' award goes to YOU sir.

Do you have a job lined up at an IB? Because if you're serious about what you said...i would laugh my ass off at you if you don't get an offer. Good luck to you, but that was a super stupid statement. If you don't get IB, the Big4 are the next stop down. Where you gonna go? BDO? GT? Unemployed? To the middle east to some no name IB? I'd be amazed if you stuck by that moronic statement...

I won't even start on your 'some...' statement...

o skeen.

It was a slight exaggeration relax. I would never apply to a Big 4 though, that's for sure. Would go off on a PhD instead.

hope you dont mind me asking...how much do you enjoy all those ECs? I'll be at university soon and am not the type to push myself into things I don't enjoy. Is uni basically full of forcing yourself into pointless things to make yourself seem more employable, because none of the above, in fact no ECs I've heard of at uni (except for investment socs and sport) appeal to me at all. And also do you get a lot (in terms of learning) from those ECs, or do you do it for the CV? And, again if I can ask, what kind of company do you run? cheers if you answer.
