Hi everyone! Motivated second year Accounting and Finance student at Aston university. Looking for placement at the moment and I am struggling due to the high level of competition in the field. Not restricting myself to just this field and I am open for a business placement in general. I hold a certificate for excel, practicing using Sage and I'll be learning Xero through the help of my university. What else am I able to do to increase my chances of securing a placement?

The job market is so rough right now. I would really suggest networking and trying to get referrals. Maybe even talk to your advisor and see if they know of any opportunities.

I’ve heard salaries have gone up quite a bit in the midst of the pandemic and I’m wondering if this is true for EAs as well. There’s a myriad of data online about EA salaries depending on age/experience but I’m interested in salaries from jobs accepted in 2020/2021 specifically!

Please feel free to share:

- Your salary from any job accepted in 2020/2021
- Any offers you may have received but rejected
- Your length of experience

Thank you!
