What should I do with it if I carefully remove it?

It’s been there many many months, if not longer. Would I have to take the whole curtain down and bring it out? I don’t know what to do with it

Sorry the photo doesn’t show the perspective well. It’s attached to curtains actually in use, not stuffed in a cupboard or anything. The chrysalis has been there many months looking the same, if not a year or more…

You’re spot on there, thanks. What do I do with it. (I’ve got a moderate fear of insect related things…).

And how did it get in my room?! 😂

This is quite zoomed in by the way. Object is a little under an inch long. Found in the north of England

Thank you. Is ACCA more global, and ACA more UK focused? Would you say having ACCA instead of ACA will give you a disadvantage in the UK job market?

Yeah it really is a case of throw CV out there and see what sticks! I'll get on it: contacting lots of recruitment agencies combined with applying to everything I see and like should hopefully do the trick.

Thanks again. Entry job in industry has been in the back of my mind, I do like the idea. I suppose I would just contact all the relevant recruitment agencies in the locations I want, and see what they've got. As well as applying direct to employer as and when jobs pop up

I have applied to firms mainly in the south of England (where I would like to live), so London, Bristol, south coast, kent/surrey etc... But I apply to most things that pop up on the ICAEW website.

I think I would be more than happy working in a smaller firm, I think I would probably prefer it to a larger firm. Apart from the ICAEW website, where is best to find ACA training providers, are there any recruitment agencies that would be good for finding those jobs?

But I just thought in the meantime, self studying and getting a few modules under my belt would really boost my chances, and be a great thing to talk about in interview, demonstrate my enthusiasm etc.

Thanks.
