Hi

So as long as I have one of the degree whether it's a 2.1 in masters or undergrad , it will be fine right?

Because I have a high 2.2 in my postgrad and a 2.1 in one of the two undergrads that I have.

Probably fine. You'd be best off emailing or calling whoever you have an offer from to make sure.

Hi there,

Does anyone know what happens if you sign a contract now and then aren't able to actually join them in September/October?

Circumstances for me are a bit up in the air at the moment and I'm not sure if I will actually be able to join next year. Slightly worried about a potential lawsuit for breach of contract although I'm almost 100% sure they wouldn't bother....

Anyone ever heard of anything like this?

Risk analytic

You can always get out of it. Have you got the contract already and what are the requirements?

How long do firms usually take to get back to you after an interview?

Risk analytic

Usually, they get back on the same day if you really impressed them. But if not, then they might take a day or two.

I had GT on Friday evening and they said a few days, nothing specific

Was that the 2nd round?

No it was my first.

I would advise to call them or send an email to the person who interviewed you like a thank you email. See if they respond.

Hope this helps.

Im not sure, I have been given mixed advice on that being a good idea or not.

Well, I had followed up with the HR at one of the Big 4s. And, it was no issue.

But yes, the HR and not the people who had interviewed me.

Hi

Does anyone have any idea when does Deloitte ask for the primary degree transcripts for the next year start.

I have already graduated this year and starting next year.

Not trying to be smart but do you honestly think a professional services firm would take a trainee to court for not working for them? Think about it logically, they take on a few hundred every year. you are easily replaceable.

I heard from Newbridge via the HR office in Dublin, I think all locations' HR depts are centralized there.

That was for audit.

I'm still waiting to hear from grant Thornton Dublin. Interview was last Friday.

Are people still going for interviews? Someone has an interview with one of the big 4 on Saturday.

questions007

Only KPMG seems to be through with the process. Don't know much. But KPMG posted on the social networking site that they have already sent all the contracts by now.

I know someone got an offer over a week ago

Risk analytic

Anyone received congratulate email for receiving offer from a partner in Deloitte?

I had submitted all the transcripts and other requirements a couple of days earlier.

Is that a confirmation that I have been accepted and am an employee of Deloitte now?

Risk analytic

Does the 2.1 in Higher Diploma substitute the primary degree for graduate programme?

sohini

Did anyone heard back after the Deloitte Consulting interview held on last Friday. Feeling worried. How long does it normally take to know the decision?

Well, they take quite a bit of time. It seems. I didn't even think that the process was still on.

They took over one week for one friend, 2 weeks for another.

So, you have to wait, I guess.

All the best.

Hi Guys

I have sent out the transcripts and the other requirements for the graduate program. Could someone tell me how do they confirm the 2.1 and the other requirements.

Do they confirm by email or by post?

I see that KPMG are open again for Audit & Assurance/Tax Consulting candidates. I noticed last June that they were still looking for Tax Consulting candidates for those who started this year. They seem to be the only ones who do this:

Interesting. I thought once Autumn of the preceding year passes that that's the end of applications, and they would have enough applicants to work off in case others dropped out.

questions007

Guess a lot of people drop out. Or there are change in business plans.

Anybody had interview with Deloitte last week and got any call from them? Specially interested to hear from Technology Consulting Applicants (Graduate role).

Big expansions across the board in the economy. The firms need more trainees and industry are sniffing around for bright young college grads. Lots more opportunities year round now with much higher benefits as well.

I got rejected for Kpmg corporate finance. It doesn't allow me to reapply.

If I set up a new login with a different email, it doesn't ask me if I have applied before. Do you think it will matter?

Didn't get an interview and it's for a different area so I'd hope I'm safe.

I suppose the only way they would know is if the same hr person saw it or the system flagged it.

It's possible that you may not have met the minimum automated scoring criteria and they screened you out early. If you re-apply under a different email, you'll still fail the scoring criteria, and you might end up with a black mark against your name.

Your best bet is to pick up the phone and speak to someone in HR who deals with grad recruitment. They can advise best on how to apply for a different area.

440 leaving cert points, 2:1 Hons degree in finance and I'm currently doing an accounting masters. I also averaged 68% on my cap 1 exams.

The only thing I would think might hold me back is my LC maths result, D1 in honours, do you think that would make me fail the minimum criteria?

Thanks

It could, but I don't know what criteria KPMG apply. Best thing is to pick up the phone.
