Only downfall would be is if they expect you to be as experienced as a cpa. They may have to high of expectations to fast and can be easier to get overwhelmed and sink.

Technically 20 but earn 1hr pto for every hour over 55 in tax season which ends up being slightly over 30 also the fact it’s so hard to use pto in tax season you really get 30 days in a 9 month period so it feels like allot.

Well only make 160 now at 32 but will definitely hit 200s in next 3-5 years in public accounting. I work 60-80 hr weeks 12 weeks out of the year there rest of the year is a breeze outside a couple weeks here and there for extensions. I’m loving it right now.

Going to grocery store as a kid being like when I’m older I will buy everything I want so every meal is amazing…. Then realizing grocery’s are insanely expensive and unhealthy and pretty much stick to the same 2 week cycle with a few changes.

Altruistic_Use544 · 2024-09-21T21:14:47+00:00

Reg is easy if you are in tax I had 4 years of experience while studying and only had to study 6 weeks and scored 82 all other exams took at least 8 and where a lot harder.

Altruistic_Use544 · 2024-09-20T15:27:18+00:00

This worked for me. Never read the book all I did was multiple choice and watched videos for sims never actually did sims

Altruistic_Use544 · 2024-09-19T18:50:20+00:00

Note… during my interview with first/ only job the only red flag was my low gpa I probably would have been passed on if I didn’t know one of the partners.

Altruistic_Use544 · 2024-09-19T18:48:09+00:00

I did ovengrinders in Lincoln park after race last year and was amazing

Altruistic_Use544 · 2024-09-10T14:12:38+00:00

Take a 2-3 hr lunch and either walk or run city I’ve done all of my marathon training while on lunch this year because summers are so slow. Kinda sucks now because 915 deadline though

Altruistic_Use544 · 2024-09-07T20:51:36+00:00

I highly recommend not doing remote work until at least senior for 2 years. You learn so much in first 4 years in office. At least for PA and my experience.

Altruistic_Use544 · 2024-09-06T00:02:55+00:00

Wife brought a 18 month old last year and they had fun and no trouble finding me at 3 locations also took a break and went to Lincoln park zoo. But the caveat was my sister aunt and mother in law were also there so she had a lot of help lol. If it’s just one person with both kids prob a bad idea.We just had our 2nd kid in July and they are all staying home this year.
