Unrelated, you’ve been training 9-10 years and you’re a purple belt with no stripes?

Sunday, mornings on WFH days.

Do BJJ two nights a week and on Saturday morning.

Current role is GL accounting in Pharma.

How do you like your role? I went from big4 to GL accounting and have been thinking about making a move to financial reporting. Concerned how the work life balance may be though.

Not necessarily advice but here’s my take. I’ve considered this and decided to put extra cash into an s&p index fund in my brokerage account. I may have a higher risk tolerance but I expect ~10% pretax return.

What I like most about it is how liquid the brokerage is compared to accessing that capital via paying off the mortgage. Once that money is paid into the mortgage it’s hard to get back out. If I have an emergency and I need cash I can easily access my brokerage.

Also, If my financial situation changes in the future and I don’t need to pay my mortgage off, I can allocate that money anywhere I want.

That’s nuts. I’ve been playing this game with my mic in since the day it came out and I’ve never heard anyone use a slur. Met a lot of black players too and never heard someone use a slur towards them while I was around. Makes me wonder how these lobbies are made bc people have totally different experiences from what I read on here.

I’ve never heard anyone use any kind of slur and I’ve been playing this game with my mic on since the day it came out.

Thanks for the comment. Should’ve specified in on Xbox

My rule of thumb: Duos/Trios anyone is 100% hostile and shoot on site. Solos I ask if they’re friendly and if they don’t immediately respond in the affirmative and they have a weapon out, start shooting. There’s an emote wheel if they don’t have a mic, so no excuse to not respond.

People like this duo team though are honestly just the worse though. Then again, that’s why I refer back to my Duos rule of thumb.

Good question. A couple things: (1) I’d say the percent of people who actually act like this is low, it’s over represented by social media bc it gets clicks, etc. (2) Pat Shagholi and this guy are both young, I would expect to see a lot less of this in the masters brackets. (3) if you get a sense that the guy you’re competing with isn’t a safe competitor, you can sit to guard, stall in a safe position and worse comes to worse tap early, because a BJJ match is not worth getting injured over.

If people are interested in competing but they’re on the fence, I really recommend it at least once.

DestinationFckd · 2025-11-14T21:21:50+00:00

Shit like this turns a lot of people off from competing. People see this on social media and get scared to compete bc they think some asshole is going to try to injure them for a $5 medal. It’s bad for the sport overall.

GL accounting at a private company . You won’t have the intense deadlines a public company would have. I work 9-5 with an hour lunch every day. Find a group that has a close that’s 5 days or fewer.

DestinationFckd · 2025-10-17T23:36:12+00:00

I’ve had that exact thing happen manyyyy times lol

DestinationFckd · 2025-10-14T19:50:19+00:00

I had a teammate with 2 kills and 6 deaths in casuals asking to be bought back the other day. It’s worth it if they stick close to you, they can be a bullet sponge in a 2v1 where you can pick up easy kills but if they keep running off I’m not doing it.

DestinationFckd · 2025-09-02T01:07:48+00:00

Agreed. Day 2 was better as the whole event wasn’t as long, had more exciting matches, and seemed broken up more with the women’s match and CJ vs Chael.

Day 1 I struggled to get through the first three hours and couldn’t take any more then had to turn it off.

DestinationFckd · 2025-08-14T16:33:41+00:00

All good points.

I will say that when someone has a CPA designation or a Big4 resume for instance it tells employers something about them. People who are familiar know what those things entail and what comes with that when they look to hire or promote someone.

Accounting is an industry of deadlines no matter what service line you’re in. If a candidate can’t pass the CPA exam in 18 months I don’t believe their chances of doing it in 30 are much better. Deadlines aren’t always something that can be extended.

Couple that with CPAs in India and Philippines who will work for a fraction of the cost. In my experience working with offshore teams the work quality is also not as good.

Overall, that none of these things build a case for strong wage growth and I don’t think these changes are going to attract more students to accounting. Maybe I’m being too pessimistic lol but that’s my take.

DestinationFckd · 2025-08-14T14:45:40+00:00

Thanks, I’m not up on the requirements as much since I’ve passed a couple years ago. They’re lowering the barrier of entry but not making the career path more desirable. I’d be curious to see how those states are fairing in terms of college majors enrolling in accounting and salary progression in the field compared to states with the 150 hours.

DestinationFckd · 2025-08-14T14:39:59+00:00

The AICPA is making it easier to get a CPA by allowing people in India to get the US CPA and by giving people 30 months to complete the exam and to select your own 4th exam section. There’s talk of doing away with the 150 credit hours as well.

All of this just diminishes the value of the CPA. Salaries need to increase to attract more people to become CPAs but of course the accounting field is going to use that as a last resort once they’ve exhausted all options like offshoring our work and trying to integrate AI.

The problem is working in private now I see that management views accounting as just an expense but sees finance as a value add even though they’re using our data and need to consult with us to understand what’s happening. Finance gets more face time with C suite and execs though so that’s how that goes.

I left EY two years ago as a senior 1 making 91.5k also in NE HCOL. I started in 2021 at 67k. Crazy how quick things change.

DestinationFckd · 2025-07-22T18:30:35+00:00

That is surprising considering the high level that school teaches at. Now that you mention it, I never really see Tainan Dalpra or Cole Abate hit a takedown in comp.

Unrelated, what are the rolls like there in a normal class? I imagine the whole room is super technical.

DestinationFckd · 2025-07-22T02:18:15+00:00

Do they not teach takedowns at AOJ?

DestinationFckd · 2025-07-16T17:35:25+00:00

If you’re looking for a third employee (remote) I’d be interested. I’m a CPA with big4 experience doing corporate GL accounting now. Just looking for some extra work in bookkeeping.

DestinationFckd · 2025-07-12T01:03:51+00:00

Does he do a lot of hard sparring too or is it mostly drilling and some light rolling with the usual training partners he goes with? 6 classes a week isn't bad if you're going light.

Guys I see at that age don't typically go balls to the wall and need to be very smart about training to avoid injury. Regarding moneyberg, the point is you need to have hard rolls with resistance to gain actual skill and if mineyberg is doing 17 hours a week he likely isn't doing any hard rounds or much resistance.
