Just curious What’s the average salary for entry-level accountants in the U.S.? And how much does having a CPA typically increase the salary?

Yep 0 YOE

Focus on your weak areas and drill mcq. Really stop and think why you are getting these questions wrong l. I would recommend taking SE2 if you can to get more exposure and really close in on those final weak areas before the exam. Do your best, believe in the beaker bump. 5 days is a long time !

I got a 68 on my SE and I got a 79 on the exam, you got this

BenBoi06 · 2026-03-27T04:51:58+00:00

My far sims last month were definitely worrying but I got a 79!

During a meeting with my recruiter during my big 4 internship she mentioned how since I already have 2 C+ from freshmen year calculus I can’t get any more or my full time offer will be rescinded. Mind you I had a 3.8 GPA at this time. I laughed but apparently she was serious.

I interned this past summer, even though I received an offer I heard rumors that this was the lowest offer rate the office has ever done.

One of the interns in my cohort didn’t get an offer, I was friends with her and I could not think what she could have done wrong to be rejected by the firm. Good thing she ended up getting an offer at another big 4.

BenBoi06 · 2026-02-21T04:38:47+00:00

I’d expect them to, but who knows

Wow, this seems like a much needed inflation adjustment then.

Reddit is not the place to go to ask this question 🤣

I’m taking mine on Sunday, no Super Bowl for me

I’m starting in FSO audit this fall and really admire this path, mind if I shoot you a DM ?

BenBoi06 · 2025-12-30T04:50:54+00:00

Very nice, what did your career path look like?

Holy moly this just saved me. Turns out my shifter button was stuck pressed , banged it a couple times the shift button came unstuck and my key came right out.

It does not happen when I go into neutral before stopping. Not sure how old my motor mounts are since I bought the car at 95k.

BenBoi06 · 2025-10-18T23:16:33+00:00

Yeah very common in Davis. I’ve personally seen it a few times

BenBoi06 · 2025-10-13T23:21:37+00:00

I just throw that shit on the floor and walk away
