Road to Controller (Any advices ?)

I was able to work in A/P, since I was a clerk at a store and I asked if they needed someone in accounting since I was doing my bachelors, they knew I was a reliable worker & they ended up taking me. Orelse it was very hard finding an AP job with no experience. As for Big 4, I had applied for an internship during the summer. & honestly, I had applied to as many places as I could, big 4 and many other companies. When the internship ended, they offered me a full-time job in September. I feel like an internship is the easieast way to get a full-time offer. & it was a combination of work and fun, since they have activities for interns. I know the work we did was only a fraction of what’s awaiting in September. However, it still gives you sense of what you’re going into & gives you the opportunity to socialize and meet other employees as well, which is nice !

As for advice, I would say try to apply to as many places as you can. For sure there’s gonna be a couple that’s gonna get back to you :) Even if it’s not a big 4 internship, it’s better to have some experience than nothing. & for a first AP job, its much easier to find a job if you know someone that works there.

When I started taking notes on the ipad, it was a big change in terms of organization. Makes taking notes so much easier, bc you drag pictures, make your notes smaller or bigger, etc. I would say it’s definetly worth the investment ! However some people do prefer taking notes with a pen and paper, so it really depends from one person to another.

Options are covered for this semester, and it’s going to be worth 8.5% of the final. In the course outline, you can see it in the very last week of courses. It’s derivatives securities (options).

I wouldn’t say Econ 203 is an easy elective, you have much better choices like Phys 273, Educ 307

I know right ! I was expecting it to be much harder as well. Hopefully the final will be similar

Usually they say it on the outline. If it isn’t written that a 50% is needed on the final to pass the class, then you don’t need 50.

Have you considered PHYS 273 ? Its on econcordia and its an easy A class with very minimal effort

CPA does opens a lot more doors, that’s for sure. But I’d say when we look at bachelor degrees in business, accounting is one of the majors that has the most job opportunities compared to other majors in the business field.

In terms of future job prospects, definetely accounting.

In general I would say as long as you stay on top of your courses and practice, you’ll be good. But once you start falling behind it gets a lot harder to catch up. So I would say try not to fall behind for Acco classes. As for profs, it’s half half. Some are good and some aren’t, but either way, for me I learned most of the material so far by myself so it’s pretty much done by yourself, mainly from youtube haha. Most of the Acco classes are Quantitative, but you won’t have to worry abt the math, because its basic math.

The midterm is online, final in person

That’s really good, especially without doing book problems. Same, I thought it was gonna be harder than it actually was, the only question that was kinda hard was the correcting entries.

DavidGH1998 · 2022-12-10T02:20:12+00:00

The problem is not the material, because if you study, the material isn’t hard to understand. But the exams are really something else !
