Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance |
Congrats on your offers to 2 local universities! Hope I'm not too late. Cannot really share about experiences in SUTD but I know of many account graduates.
Some advice:
1. Consider your interests and the fields you would like to enter eventually.
Computer science and accountancy are really different. Talk to some grads to ensure you have the right understanding of what it means to be in those courses. I've heard both are pretty rigourous.
2. Stability = Accountancy; Up and coming = Computer science
But do note that not all aspects of accountancy are growing, i've heard that only audit is doing well. Also, consider the need to get into a big 4 accounting firm by the time you end university, in order to pave your path to better positions
