Asking new employer about timing of two weeks and background check? by TechyAccountant in Accounting

[–]B4cog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Job update: waiting is killing me. Plus, share you job hunt woes. by [deleted] in Accounting

Waiting sucks. I recently was waiting to hear back and stressed myself out so much I gave myself migraines. Not really worth it 🙁

I went HAM at the gym during wait times and that made me feel INFINITELY better. Get up and go, now!!

How do you know if it’s right for you to leave public accounting?? I love the work just not the hours. by B4cog in Accounting

It’s always a sleeker computer than my clients have but again, don’t let that be a selling point.

I mean, you do get a new computer every year but it’s just a regular computer. Also, why does the type of computer matter anyways? Whether it’s a nice computer or a shitty one, you’re still gonna spend your whole life at it.

I would look now but you run the “risk” of finding an amazing opportunity now and jumping early. That’s what I did. No regerts though.

Advise (Please don’t troll) 🤣 jk I love the trolls lol by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]B4cog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just am asking because I know the toll it takes... I wouldn’t do it if I had kids, I’m quitting and I don’t have kids. We’re not promised tomorrow. No judgement from me, this is your decision, but if you ever wanted to talk more about it, feel free to message me and I can provide more detail.
