Do you intend to apply for work in Australia with a visa or head back to Singapore?
I'm 22 (23 in July) and just finished a B. Commerce Degree (Double Major: Finance & Banking Law) and honestly the job market in Sydney is tight.
I entered my program as I had an admissions index of 95.15 when I finished schooling at Sydney Boys High in Australia (I could not have afforded a non-government place at the university)
Unless you have already completed a vacation program, or are in a cadetship or internship, it is really difficult securing any role within the finance or banking industries.
I have applied for over twenty advisory and analyst roles with various FIs (all graduate positions) and have only received a handful of interviews and zero acceptances.
In part this is a personal problem of mine, but the fact that I did not get a foot in the interview room eighty percent of the time (with a Bachelor of Commerce degree from UNSW) speaks volumes on how the course is valued domestically by employers.
Right now I'm looking into data entry accounting and office administration because there are so little vacant positions in my area of training.
39-42k full-time, but I do not have any other options because my youth allowance is about to run out and I don't want to apply for unemployment benefits.
It's horrible.
