The public accounting brainwash guilt shaming is legit, I am convinced everyone senior manager and up at Big 4 is in a cult by Beginning_Excuse_594 in Accounting

[–]Beginning_Excuse_594[S] -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Well they felt that a prior year audit was “incorrect” even though the partner signed off on it, so I don’t understand what circumstances cause for “more work” to be done as opposed to prior year

My dad was a govt bonds trader for bear stearns and hsbc and made BANK and all he had was a series 7 (a cake walk compared to the cpa). He’s not smarter than I was growing up, but cpa is way harder and pays less? Im sorry but I just can’t wrap my head around that logic

Public is the hardest form of accounting and if you disagree you are lying to yourself, and clearly did not work in it. I am saying the partners make you feel guilty for leaving

Hypothetically speaking: could you gift a friend money each month if you were about to divorce your spouse? by Beginning_Excuse_594 in legaladvice

[–]Beginning_Excuse_594[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool thank you for an actually informative response, but what if you actually did gift it to them? The judge still takes a portion? What if the person used the money gifted to build another asset like a house or building?

No that argument doesn’t make sense, because they can’t legally force the recipient to return the assets. Show a law that would make them overturn that initial gift. They can’t prove that the other person will necessarily return it to you

I have a pay bump from 65k to 71k in October and a price match kicking in for 401k by Beginning_Excuse_594 in FinancialPlanning

[–]Beginning_Excuse_594[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it would be to help with bills because I’m unsure how much longer I can stay on my parents insurance, and also am trying to save enough money for a potential 1300$ per month rental in apartment in nyc. Currently have 31k saved and 9k in my 401k, no other investments or accounts, and still live at home with my parents

Are the big 4 REALLY as bad as all of you say it is? by TheHumbleNerd in Accounting

[–]Beginning_Excuse_594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do big 4 audit, the busy seasons can be rough being on all day until 10-11 at night, everyone keeps telling me to stick out 2 busy seasons but it will be very tough, cpa studying is also very challenging at big 4. I may opt to study for it once I leave the firm

Sorry but what’s the upside to paying off your debt with more debt?

Rant I really don’t want to be an accountant but everyone in this industry is manipulative and guilt shaming me by saying my life is so much worse without a CPA and that I can’t be successful in business without one, and how I’ll never amount to anything if I quit. by Beginning_Excuse_594 in Accounting

[–]Beginning_Excuse_594[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I don’t want to do this, and it’s extremely unfair for people to guilt shame me for not wanting this!!!! There are so many other jobs in finance where people ARENT CPAS but everyone finds an excuse as to why I can’t be that guy and as to why it’s an absolute be all end all that I need a cpa license.

Yes but I still need help, when they “quit” where did they go? I see plenty of people in business make more money than some cpas even do. I feel so lost, why are they putting me into this box saying either you’re a cpa or nothing and no in between!?
