WSO Catchup in Australia!

Fellow Australia Prospective and Already Successful Monkeys!

I was reading about the WSO conference and thought it was a great idea and how bummed i was that i couldn't attend, because i was way across the other side of the world!

Then as a result of a couple of posters who showed an interest, i thought it would be a great idea to have a catch up in Australia so we could hang out, share horror stories and hopefully learn from the successes of others.

That being said i am unsure of the amount of interest in Australia, or in what state the location would be, my best guess would be logistically either Sydney or Melbourne, however it could be anywhere depending on where the highest amount of geographical interest is...

So if your interested in getting together and hanging around with some prospective bankers and having a yarn; post your interest and we can discuss if it would be worthwhile, the time's that would best suit and what location/s it should be in.

Looking forward to all your thoughts -

Cheers

Let's do this! I'm in!

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake son.
 

I'm a non Sydney based intern- problem with that is different banks start at different times, so not everyone who might like to attend will be there. Granted, it'd be tough to schedule one for during the internship, but if people think it's a good idea, it could be smart do schedule one some weekend in the middle of ALL the internships, so the largest number of interested people is available to attend.

 

Yeah my bank starts much later (9th December) which is why I was pushing for a slightly later meet up- would love to be involved if possible. Obviously I don't expect anyone to cater to my schedule specifically, but if other people start later as well it would be great if we could a) actually set up a get-together and b) do it mid-December +

 

Hey guys, Thanks @notthehospitalER I think that sounds like a good idea if we can put a tentative date down and see what interest that gets, be it in the next month or so, or wait till internships which start near the end of the year.
