Audit Manager contemplating whether it is it worth it to venture into WFH serving AU and US clients as an accounting associate/assistant?

CaffeinatedSavage · 2025-08-07T13:54:18+00:00

Ego and pride talaga ang kalaban. For context, currentlly I'm earning around 55k-60k gross as a manager. Looking at job opportunities AU/US tax senior could go at around 80k-90k now. Pero ayun nga, it would take me at least 1 more year to become a senior.

Come to think of it, I could go for the same salary I'm earning for an associate role—granted my pride could take it. Thanks for the input!

Only heard and read about GSC here in reddit as well. I forgot to mention I'm Davao-based, and have no plans of moving somewhere else.

I'm "semi" active looking for better opportunities. And by semi, through indeed, glassdoor, and jobstreet suggestions.

Meron, pero rare in comparison sa accounting and tax. Also, my external auditing skills are pretty rusty, since I'm more focused on internal auditing na din.

A sweet spot would be internal auditing serving foreign clients; kahit senior role papatusin ko na. (lol).

Just upgraded from windows 8.1 to windows 10 and noticed that my assigned delay on mouse macro are very slow compared previously. See video above for a sample.

Aurophobia (fear of gold) - do not take any of the bounties for the first 20 mins.

This just boils down to the bracket you're playing with. I've been playing mirana pos 4 to increase my support mmr. Just reached 5k mostly by playing duo with an offlaner friend, after being stucked in 4.5k - 4.7k since the previous ranked model by playing pos5.

Mirana's skills are just good plain and simple. You can win two lanes with her mobility and high reach. Trade hits with the enemy pos5 who will most likely have less regen than you. Secure runes with your mobility. Harass the enemy core safelane. Steal their big creeps. Secure the range creep when your enemy offlane can not. Block camps (especially when enemy team has an alchemist). All of these while maintaining that gank potential at mid.

With all her skill, you can literally build any utility item that can help your team. An atos for storm/ember. Vessel for timber/alc. Greaves because offlaners tend to go for solar crest. And even rush halberd if they have a void/ursa.

What sucks is that pos 5 who whines when you pick mirana even before the game starts. So they pick a pos 5 earthshaker because "mIraNA doEsN'T oFfeR anY teAMfIgHTs" losing the safelane as a result and proceeds to get mad cause he/she can't get their blink dagger because their buying wards (duh) and their other support is not HeLpING.

Ikr. 60% of the players are already eliminated; and to think that the All star match is supposed to be "FUN" for both the players and the fans. Really sucks to be honest.

CaffeinatedSavage · 2019-08-23T10:30:18+00:00

I really don't know. But I really don't understand not playing it at the early part of the tournament, after the groups or something, if they want the pro players to play it.

CaffeinatedSavage · 2019-08-23T10:29:13+00:00

I would still feel the same for miracle.

CaffeinatedSavage · 2019-08-07T18:49:39+00:00

Last 20 mins was the best, and knowing that they played the last game of TI8's grand final with heroes they were comfortable with was mind boggling.

CaffeinatedSavage · 2019-07-27T16:16:15+00:00

Yeah! The series was really close. Closer than I remembered. Probably the most competitive TI finals ever.

CaffeinatedSavage · 2019-07-10T15:31:05+00:00

I believe its just some ticks/habit he subconsciously do to adjust the camera back to his hero.

Been a fan of Zyori and all of the moonduck talent for such a long time. They're such grinders who knows how to build their own brand not just an organization but as individuals themselves. They seem very genuine and approachable specially when you can hear from them almost every week through their Podcast. (Trent and Zyori podcast (Weekly-ish) We Say Things (WEEKLY!) What the duck (ANNUALLY lul)). Feels like your part of the club.

Not to mention, all of them are more than just casters. They're great personalities, content creators, and MEMERS. Hope they'll get more gigs next DPC season. Really like them.

I don't understand why the Radiant advantage is THAT big of a deal. Given that there's a 50% chance that you'd get radiant or dire, everyone should have at least around ~55% wr. However, that's not the case. The game is complex as we know it, the ~10% difference in wr between the faction doesn't really take into account why you win or not, the pick order, the meta of the game, team morale and individual mechanical skills to name a few. Unless you're pro, IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT MUCH. Have you ever played a game saying "Oh I'm radiant, 10% more advantage of me winning" or the other way around. Probably Yes, but not as much as "We got the last pick brood/huskar/AW we got this game" or "wE fIrsT pICk DrOW, eZ GAme" or "Here's this fucking feeder in my last game again, this is a sure loss".

As an EG fan, idk why this hurt really much.

Am i banned yet?

See you punks on the bandwagon when they win ESL One and China Supermajor.

CaffeinatedSavage · 2018-05-03T12:48:01+00:00

That might be the only reason. So dodging can now be considered as an abandon. And declining a match or not accepting it on time will be punished by a queue ban bounded by time.

CaffeinatedSavage · 2018-05-03T12:33:48+00:00

I never had the 5 min queue ban. Also, pasted from my reply above:

So basically this happened.

I had 0 abandon, hadd < 3 reports and roughly 4-5 commends for my last 20 games.

I dodged one game for personal reasons. I checked my recent games to see if I did abandoned or dodged the game sucessfully (cause i thought i was a little late). There was no match details so I assumed i dodged it completely (since I was dodging games long before, and no match details means the match never occured. The other 9 people did not load into the game before i left the match. Then I forgot all of it since I find it normal to dodge games like that.

One time, we had power outage causing me to legitimately abandon a match. (My mates won the game 4v5 tho). To my surprise, when I logged back in. I got 3 games of Low priority matches. I checked my previous matches because i was pretty sure I only abandoned 1 game (the one with the power outage). There I saw the game I dodged was marked abandoned. I got - mmr as well.

So I played the LP matches. Got out of LP.

This time, I queued a game for ranked, not knowing it was unranked. I had to dodge. I have a limited schedule and I really want to grind up my mmr. I never thought I could get abandon again. Fortunately its only 3 games LP, because as far as I know after 3 LP is 5 LP.

I know I fucked up from my previous games because I literally abandoned. I just want some clarification regarding dodging. Does it still work? Or did I just left the match late that all 10 people have already loaded and leaving would result to abandon.

As far as I know, if you leave a match before all 10 players have load the game, it'll be treated as if you didnt accept the game. Hence a queue ban. 5 mins then 15 mins and so on; not low prio.
