Slash asked:


How is the New Zealand economy currently doing and how is the job market in the area of finance?

I am from US and I will be doing a PhD in Economics in Wellington. I also want to do some consulting work in accounting and finance while working on my research.

Thanks.
For Accounting, do you necessarily have to have NZ accounting certification, or a CPA from US will do?

3T’s asked:


I am currently working for a big CPA firm. I have two years of experiences. I am looking to make a switch to Financing, particular Investment Banking. I have been searching for an associate position at many of the IB firms, but all of them seem to require an MBA or IB experience. Due to this reason I am planning to apply to business school. Is it possible for me to find a IB or equity research job without prior experiences or an MBA? If so, how?

GuitarMaster asked:


How do you get the money? What documents/contracts do you need? This will probably differ than other businesses. For example, it would seem a little odd for an investment banker to go to another investment banker to ask them to invest in their investment banking business. Technically, where exactly do you get the starting money? Answers will be appreciated. Thanks!!!!!

Brendan asked:


I’m starting my first day of work at Safeway in Manitoba, and I need to know what banking information I need to bring with me. My boss started talking about it but wasn’t very informative. I know she said that I need my banking number or something, but other than that I have no idea. She needs it because my wages will be direct deposit. Thanks.
I’m only 16 though, so I don’t have any checks.

Theresa asked:


I am a recent grad with an associate degree in Business Administration/Management. I want to gain experience in finance-ultimately finding a job as a financial/research analyst for a firm. Keeping in mind I only have an associate degree right now, what type of job opportunities are out there for someone with my interests that would allow me to gain experience in the field?
