grad programs success rate

I am looking for accounting firms only:

Job offer from 1
Rejected from 3
Invited for interview/assessment centre for 3
Awaiting to do online tests for 1
Still writing application forms for 5

still writing application forms?? wow, i would've thought that they'd be full up now and not accept any more applications. although im guessing accounting is different from IBD/AM/CF. congratulations on the offer though! out of interest, are you studying/did you study accounting as a degree?

Some of them are still going on, bear in mind they are mid-size accounting firms so work differently than banks and consultancy firms.

And yup, I am studying Accouting and Finance for the degree, hence the choice.

oh nice. i only asked because a few of the biggger accounting firms seem to offer places to non-accounting grads too. in fact, a friend of mine who studied business and management applied for accounting roles.

just want to ask how everybody else is getting on with their applications. applied late myself to half a dozen banks/boutiques (mostly AM) and have only just finished the online tests . i dont think ill get much success this year, AM is tight enough even without leaving applications to late october like an idiot. kind of screwed up a few tests too.

would like to hear how you guys are doing. IB, AM, CR, risk, etc, all welcome. what the success rates are like, how many applications you sent and how far along you got. disclose as much and/or as little as you like!

as always, all help appreciated.

Would you like to give us some brief information about your resume?
