Thomasian alumni, where are you now?

[boybelow]

huh? pwede magCFA exam kapag business eco? akala ko sa mga financial management lang yun? i'm confused lol =)))

wow congrats! kakainspired naman yan! haha i'm an incoming freshman this year and i'm also from commerce major in business eco! sana ganyan din ako after graduation namin haha )

Even engineers, chemists, etc. can take the CFA exams. It is a self study program But you need to get at least 3 years experience in Front Office or any position in the financial/investments industry involved in decision-making in order for them to grant you the charter.

Sir, would you be able to PM the company that sponsored your CFA examination?

[choybits]

Thanks Choybits for the info.

Time for me to share....

I took up BS Acctg in UST. After graduation, SGV offered me a job which I accepted after after passing the board exam. I stayed for 3 years then moved to a GFI. After working for a couple of years in a GFI, my fiance and I decided our luck in Sg. Good thing both of us were employed by EY Sg. After a year, we moved to the land down under.

I was also hoping to work in SGV eventhough I'm not really an accountant. Atleast in the Advisory Services.

It must be fulfilling to have a job that suits your degree

Well, after a few years of being a graduate, riegistered and licensed Architect na din.

working in a firm but baka magfreelance na rin since I have my own projects na din naman

[citrus_bean]

Citrus Bean, lower batch pala kita pero hindi tayo nagpangabot sa UST. Hehe

Anyway, hindi naman din mahirap maghanap, basta you know the answers sa tatanungin sa iyo. Bihira nalang din yung nagdidiscriminate ng schools,basta you fit the bill.

haha sayang naman kung hindi tayo nagabot sa AB, haha

madugo ang dinaanan ko after graduation and passing the board exam. Sa first job ko, inintriga ako kasi hindi ako sumasama sa gimik o nakikipag usap sa mga officemates ko. Hilig nila ang basketball noon, hindi naman ako nanonodd ng basketball. Nag sho shopping sila sa masagana at uniwide, sm at rustans naman ako. Most of the time, nasa greenbelt ako. ako lang ang graduate ng ust at karamihan sa kanila sa mga probinsiya graduate. Hindi naman ako nagtagal sa company na iyon.

Yep. Normally, they would try to find how closely related your previous experiences are in the job you are applying for.

[chinoy_in_amv]

Hello, Thomasian alumni! curious lang ako kung ano na nangyari sa inyo after you graduate from the Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas. nakahanap ba kayo ng trabaho o trabaho ang naghahanap sa inyo? kamusta ang graduate school/master's? hehe umaasenso ba kayo dito o mas pinili niyong mamuhunan na sa ibang bansa?

I am planning to study in Canada after taking board exam (CPA). I just want to know other people's experiences na rin baka sakali magbago isip. hehe. I am currently attending summer classes at AMV. gagraduate na rin finally this June!

PS: kasama po sa curriculum ng AMV yung summer class ah.

After ko grumaduate and before ako magtake ng CPA board exam last October 2011, may offers na ang 2 out of 4 big 4 accounting firms sa Pilipinas. As a graduate of AMV college of accountancy madali lang makahanap ng trabaho sa big 4 lalo naman sa SGV dahil si AMV ang "founder" ng college.

Currently nasa SGV ako and working as auditor, clients ko ngayon puro nasa China. One positive point sa audit ay ang load ng learning, twice a year papasok ka sa training rooms ng SGV for almost 2 weeks each. And may mga IFRS accreditation kang kelangan tapusin as you step forward in public practice. Of course, negative talaga dun ay yung dami ng OT which usually TY. hahahaha.
