Hi,

I am a Chartered Accountant and have worked as a Investment Banker for the last 4 years. Which category under the SOL should I consider to apply in? What would be considered a right match.. .If there are any Investment Bankers who have immigrated to Australia.. please help me

Thanks! Appreciate any help!

Cheers
Mini

I think it would be easier to apply as an accountant, and try to obtain State Sponsorship.

Mininow

THanks for the quick response...
Sorry about my ignorance... but What is a State Sponsorship, hows it helpful.. and how can I show my work experience as related to the qualification?

JOE2010

Get the info from http://www.immi.gov.au/

With state sponsorship you may have 100 points without the need to use your work experience.

But the OP would still have to have the recent work experience in something on the list.

Mininow - if you worked as an accountant for 12 out of the last 24 months, then I would definitely apply as an accountant. Otherwise there are some possibilities such as Financial Market Dealer, Financial Dealers and Brokers, Futures Trader. Have you actually checked the list? You are obviously the best judge of what category you fall into.

JOE2010

Agreed. Though I thought when I lodged my application my work experience never mattered since I already had 100 points.

No the work experience is essential. Unless ... I think the applicant has just finished studying in Australia or something, but don't quote me on that.
