Career Advice

Hi Themba,

I guess it really depends on what area of this work interests you or if you have an inspirations on where you would see yourself say in 5 years down the line because I suppose the 3 main routes that most people take would be 1. Practise, 2. Industry or 3. Big four e.g. KPMG, PWC and etc.

Since you have already expressed interest in getting the ACCA qualification after your degree then one thing you should definitely look for is ACCA support in a company that you’re applying for. Not just the perks of having study leave and employee progression programs but what actual help are they willing to provide, e.g. training, study buddies, networking within the company with similar minded people.

I’ve worked in industry for 4 years now, so I can only make an assumption based on my experience and the country I reside in. A salary with similar experience and part qualified ACCA should give you a salary between mid 20k and low 30k euro range.

Hope this helps, if you have more questions feel free to ask away

Most accountants and finance teachers like to see their students’ curriculum vitae at the end of their classes or when they send their students for an interview. This may include information about the summary or resume objective. A summary should contain the key elements that you can use to write a strong and impressive resume objective. This is what your academic and professional background shows.
