thanks for all the helpful advice. i was optimistic and my expected salary was 3k at first. right now, after 3mths, i have brought down my expectations to 2.6k. and im still not hired. not even an interview. so i pretty sure im not asking for too much.

My UOL class mate got first class honors and got a job in SHELL as a risk analyst. Few years later and he is still with SHELL but now as a freight analyst.

tok cok ...

Shell analyst good, most are paid 9-12k basic

uol, 2nd upper grad bnf. 45k/annum (min) settlements with foreign bank.

let me guess.... bank of china? or icprc? lol

2.7 accounting firm.. i grad with 2nd lower class.

Hello guys, I'm a fresh grad with uol degree in econs. Third class honours. (i know, should have studied harder).

Wanted to ask what kind of jobs should I be looking out for? Also, what should my expected salary be? I have prior experience in credit collection and customer service.

To be honest, I took my degree simply because I love econs. But looking around now at analyst jobs, most of them require skills and experience that I do not have. So any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Just take up some generic analysis role in a local SME for a few years and get exp first. UOL 3rd class no hope for MNC or even GLC one.

The other alrternative is to join comission sales jobs.

Undecided between finance and accounts jobs
 

Hi, a self introduction of me. I am still a student, currently with 4 A and 5 more modules to take next year, expected a first class honours in UOL. I am undecided which path should i go, although i am more interested in analyst role in IB or in banks. But i know it is hard to enter such job prospects as it is very competitive and usually the IVY league people will get such jobs. Hence, i am putting accounting job as a backup. May i know what's the difference between tax, advisory and audit in BIG 4 and are they willing to accept FCH from uol. For audit, i heard of people manage to get into big 4 through merits if they are FCH and connections if they are 2.1.

Will it be better if i went on to pursue my MSC in finance at LSE provided i got 5 A next year to get my straights A and hopefully UOL is willing to sponsored me to LSE to study MSC. It is expensive to study in there from what i heard especially without sponsorship. Another alternative is for me to work and get sponsored by company to go LSE to get my MSC. If that's the case, i would like to know which job or company will and has the capability to sponsor me for my master. I don't mind being bonded for a few years. Thanks for your help guys. I will appreciate it alot. =)
