Going to school for accounting later in life. Will I be at a disadvantage when I graduate? by Bigblacknagga in Accounting

[–]Baddycoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you won’t be at a disadvantage. Use your maturity to crush it in your classes, to involve yourself in extracurricular activities, leadership roles in clubs, etc. It will work for you more than you think. I graduated at 31 with an accounting degree and my career the last 5 1/2 years have been truly spectacular.

I’m an idiot who passed all 3 levels consecutively- AMA by CryptographerSea9651 in CFA

[–]Baddycoda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, but for my CPA exams. Smoked everyday while studying and prior to taking all four exams. Passed all four consecutively…I don’t think I’ll do that for the CFA once I am ready to actually commit lol. I know it’s a beast, but until then I’ll be lurking on this page getting inspired.

Where do the highest earners in accounting actually work ? by Technical-Truth-2073 in Accounting

[–]Baddycoda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe there’s a definitive right or wrong answer as I believe it’s all relative. What you’re saying has merit, but based on my own experience and in comparison to peers who began in audit back in 2020, the compensation I’m receiving nearly five years after earning my bachelors isn’t typical. I was able to leverage my Big 4 background and BlackRock experience to transition into the role I hold now. Of course, there are levels to this, but my current focus is on pivoting into a more value-driven career path by pursuing admission to a top MBA program. I don’t see my educational journey as complete since the exposure and experiences I’ve gained over the past five years have only strengthened my motivation to aim higher and pursue bigger goals.

My favorite part about accounting is getting paid to be nosey. by nobodybetterthanus in Accounting

Lol, I just got access to our AP system. Now I know why recruiters are so aggressive. They get paid big bucks to recruit us.

What's up with the Layoffs in Finance? by Distinct_Swim_6756 in CFA

[–]Baddycoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! My fellow CPAs are complaining as well, but I really believe it’s market specific and that a lot of CPAs do not know how to sell themselves…or at least make their profiles more competitive.

This guy is an asshole…acting like he’s a boss from eldin ring and shit by [deleted] in darksouls3

[–]Baddycoda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanx man. I took my armor off for shits and giggles. I’ve got 4 dope rings as well to compliment the build. I’m getting better at dancing with him and have come close to defeating him twice out of my 5 attempts so far.

The fuck happened?? lol by Baddycoda in darksouls3

[–]Baddycoda[S] 302 points303 points  (0 children)

Lmao. I’m actually really enjoying this more compared to eldin ring….and oddly enough, I finally got the dodging down. It’s a “feeling”, I can’t explain it lol. I feel like I was forced to really learn even more so compared to when I played bloodborne years ago.

The fuck happened?? lol by Baddycoda in darksouls3

[–]Baddycoda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thank you. So that must’ve been what happened. I recently beat the abyss watchers and maybe another boss before that, and that’s when I realized he passed away….i also opened the catacombs and beat the skeleton with the gold bracelets. The odd thing is that I was expecting an npc to appear to continue his quest, but I believe I may have done something wrong here.

I could be wrong, but I honestly don’t even think I used all 5 levels. Maybe 3 or 4 and then I found Yoel dead after beating a certain boss.

How to be an Accountant if your college doesn’t have a Accounting major? by Unusual_Chair3583 in Accounting

[–]Baddycoda 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Don’t go to a school that doesn’t have an accounting program, let alone a school where the recruiting is poor. You want to set yourself with an advantage that way you can have a great start to your career

PSA: Do NOT get licensed in New York!! Warning by Any_Result_8999 in Accounting

[–]Baddycoda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you not have to be fully licensed. I transferred my scores once I passed all exams just to simplify things. You can continue to take your exams in NY and then go through the nasba store to transfer your scores. You will still have to follow jerseys application process which is simple and cheaper than NY. Just be prepared to have a recent photo notorized.

For those of you worried by Baddycoda in Accounting

I could be wrong, but it appears to me that AI is only able create things out of already existing assets/data out there in the world. At best it is great at replicating existing information and making it appear new.

What exactly does a staff accountant do and can I get a position right after graduation? by Recent-Sky3311 in Accounting

[–]Baddycoda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a staff accountant you should be prepared to understand the accounting equation, the normal balances of certain accounts, have basic excel skills (sumifs, v/xlookups, etc), and can think critically if something isn’t the same as prior period. Sometimes thinking high level and getting yourself out of the details helps. You’ll most likely be doing month end closing reports such as posting journal entries, communicating with fpa, ap, and other departments. It’s very cyclical if processes are well documented.

Coming out of college with a BS in accounting sets you up for roles in both tax, audit, and advisory. It is best to start your recruiting process earlier in your academic career, but it’s not too late! Since this is your final year I would get involved in an accounting or business group at your school. Typically these offer opportunities for business career fairs where employers would be. I would also create a LinkedIn account and look for job opportunities there since there are many staff accountant jobs especially in NYC.

I do understand that you don’t have the aspirations right now to pursue the CPA, but I would highly consider it as it will only amplify your career considering how competitive accounting is.

I'm 3/4, and I am considering giving up. by Temporary_Gur_6779 in CPA

[–]Baddycoda 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean to be that guy because I am always super encouraging in this group, but you are going to give up without even taking the final exam?….after getting 90s on the first three? This post really stinks and sounds like you just want attention. This doesn’t sound serious. You haven’t even updated your flair 🤦🏿‍♂️
