- I have a friend who is finishing his first degree in Economics. He decided to
- search for a job, here in the UK, that offered the opportunity for studies
- leading to a Chartered Accountancy qualification. He applied for five
- companies, namely, Price Waterhouse, Arthur Andersen, Coopers & Lybrand, KPMG
- and Ernst Young.
-
- His problem (which undoubtedly deserves a smiley) is that he got job offers
- from all five of them and now is short of criteria to help him decide which
- one to join. He has no net access and I have no personal acquaintance with
- accountancy, so I thought I could try to be of some help to him by appealing
- to the fabled kindness of you all.
-
- So, through this group or by email, would any one care to share ** any **
- opinions, comments, insights, inside information on the above companies to
- reduce my friend's perplexity to a more manageable level?
-
- I more or less boasted with him that you would drown us with helpful comments,
- please help me save my face :-). I apologize in advance if this is not the
- appropriate newsgroup request. I'd appreciate suggestions of more suitable
- groups for this purpose.
-
- Ta you all,
-
