My results are not awesome, but not lousy to the extent I can't enter Local U, thats the thing:- GPA 3.4? |
The longer you spend at uni, the better. Do the 4 yr course and in total you only did an extra yr at poly, but you can use that to your advantage when you apply for a job. There are no shortcuts.

Question 1: Do Pte/Mnc/Govt companies look at which school you graduated from or do they simply look at the relevant degree you're in?
|
They look at the school first, relevant degree second. You have a relevant degree from timbatu uni, no point. But if you're from a gd uni, degree not so relevant, still possible.

Question 2: Is there a huge difference in the salary commanded progressively if I were to enter a private university?
|
Assuming you are actually considered and this is a big assumption. Hell yes. Huge. Massive. Unless you're doing ACCA.

Question 3: Do companies favour undergrads from local universities and if they dont, do they favour undergrads coming from any specific universities too?
|
Any good university. Slight edge towards top overseas universities.

Hope you all could help as I am really desperate for an answer from the society and reality. Would appreciate honesty and transparency to help an inexperienced girl here. Do not want to go through unnecessary detours ):
Tks so much for answering!

If you qualified for a local uni, do not do yourself a disservice by going to a private school. Again, this is for jobs where qualifications do matter. If you want to be a financial consultant then it doesn't matter, it's about sales and they'll take anybody.
