Career Choices... That I have to make... soon..

 

I have procrastinated for sending in my letter to DT for turning down their job offer and I finally got down to doing it late last nite.. I didn’t wan to deprive other people who were applying for positions there… but Yes I have decided to go to PWC.. that is if I am planning to go into the assurance line of work.

I still have my qualms about what I want to do in future. I have a degree in accountancy and a major in finance.. so I can go both ways.. to work something that is finance related or to do something that is accounting based.

Today I went for a career talk at Philip Capital.. they were recruiting for equities trader.. Wah lau! Trading in shares!.. it’s how exciting! I would love to take up the challenge! But the downside is that for the first year u are sort of left on ur own.. u have to get ur own customer base similar to that of an insurance agent, a personal banker sort of thing.. I’m really not interested in that! But at the same time I know I have to start somewhere.. so no harm apply for it rite? So I submitted the application form after the talk.. Well, I like their office.. the atmosphere there however was not so great.. I’m also not that impressed with the person presenting and showing us around during our office tour.. he is um.. like a wannabe.. there but not there yet! Can’t stand this type.. eeeiii… He was wearing a blazer with gold buttons! Make him look like a ship captain.. the office had these small walkways.. the walks was white with stripes.. Grace and I agreed that it looked like the interior a cruise ship!

Then I’m also thinking about doing something in banking or doing analyst sort of jobs.. just somehow feel that I’m not really to start in audit… but yet I recognize that it is a good stepping stone.. a safe one I must say.. wat am I to do?! I’m feeling lost..

Here is my mcq… which one would u pick? Given the options:

I should pick the job that is:
1) Highly paid, good benefits and bonus
2) Exciting & challenging
3) A place with a great working culture and people
4) Good career prospects
5) Steep learning curve for self-enrichment

ANS: I have no clue! I want them all!

Well, maybe some career advice would help.. what do u think? When u see me.. what job title can u see printed on my face? Tell me! Tell me!
