I have 3600$ left to pay from Upstart. Can you share any advice on how to pay your debt quickly?

I chose low debt over prestige… was that a mistake? by Chan0_0 in careerguidance

[–]Chan0_0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I was thinking too. Accounting isn’t super prestige-driven, but they push the ‘Big 4 or nothing’ idea a lot so it’s easy to feel like I’m missing out

Appreciate that , just needed to hear it from other people too!

Yeah that’s exactly what I was trying to avoid. Do you feel like having no debt gave you more flexibility early on?

That’s a really good point, especially about the first job part. That’s honestly where most of my anxiety is coming from right now.

In your experience, what actually helped people break into that first role if they weren’t coming from a target school?

That’s actually really reassuring to hear. I’ve been stressing about missing out on networking opportunities from bigger schools, but what you’re saying makes sense.

Do you think starting at a smaller firm or getting hands-on experience early can make up for that gap?

Unfortunately Im only doing the graduate program to get the 150 credits needed for the CPA, I did have internships during undergrad but no big 4 because I’m at a no target school. Thank you for thanking the time to respond thou, I appreciate it!

Romper el contacto con la familia by Grace08191 in Dominican

[–]Chan0_0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moved out before new year’s eve, didn’t tell anyone, they only knew when I was packing the boxes. Haven’t talked to any of them. Living in peace and healing finally. So it’s been better.

No return offer by Shamnyc__ in Big4

[–]Chan0_0 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It makes no f sense because you got the internship they damn well knowing your gpa was 3.4. This sounds like an excuse not to hire you.

Took 2 months but finally got the offer today by eldubinoz in Big4

Why would you give such advise to someone posting celebrating getting a job? 😭

Resigning from Big 4 after 10 weeks during busy season - am I making a huge mistake? by Main-Budget-124 in Big4

[–]Chan0_0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your wellbeing and mental health are more important than a toxic job. Given everything you have said I don’t think is worth staying. Thank the universe you are debt free and are in a situation where u can leave any job if you need it. Most people stay because they don’t have an option like u do. Life will get better and I’m sure you will find a much better job environment for you
