For sure you must be comfortable with interacting with all sorts of people, but beyond that being eloquent doesn't help much. Empathy, understanding decision making / power structure in your client organization, understanding industry & how your products are position, being able to negotiate professionally, being able to navigate your own co politic to get things done in your favor is much more important. Most people who only know how to eloquent talk will forever be stuck at doing mass market sales selling cheap & low margin products to general market. For e.g. in banking if you just remain stuck at this sort of level selling retail and SME products, there is a limit to how much you can make even if you are the top performer and if you are just average, the package might even end up much worse than working in a normal office job. |

1. most acct grads (i mean local and proper uni only) these days only consider the big4 if they cant get a banking MAP/MA role 2. the big4 has always brought in sim folks - however, they come in at a different level, not the entry level associate ranking. it takes them almost 4 years to get to the level that a fresh local grad comes in at. 3. that said, not all get promoted to that lvl after 4yrs. i know several sim who are stuck below assoc1 even after 6yrs. |

local acct grads these days dont wana do audit. most of them only attend the mass recruitment exercise after they got rejected from the banks MAP. btw, for sim folks, here's how a typical exercise goes. the big4 will send out invites to the accting final year students, and book 10 rooms and lecture halls in the respective school. cool huh? the recruiters actually come to campus. the whole process is like a doc visit. you submit your cv, and wait to get called. usually most students will get 2-3 offers, the better ones obvious get offers from all 4. however, from what i know, the big 4 rejects almost 90% of cvs from sim. the remainder get called up, and offered the junior ranks below assoc. its actually the same rank a poly grad with acca gets. |

And I really don't see how this is 'cool'. The only reason big 4 does this is because its turnover is so high they have to replace staff constantly. You can come show off when MBB or IB come do this at your school |
