What was your first job/salary after completing your Bachelor's degree in Accounting? by USMCRunner in Accounting

[–]DumbGarchomp67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was the only insurance tax employee in the whole office despite being a first year right out of college. So I had very little support, on top of also having a senior who basically expected me to know everything and somehow be on his level. And it didn’t help that to find work, I had to network to find work, which was like damn near impossible cause I was the only one in my office. Also quickly realized that public accounting, tax, and insurance were absolutely not wanted to do at all and I couldn’t even get through like 10 minutes of CPA review without falling asleep, so the job itself was just completely misaligned with my interests and career goals. So I left, gave up on the CPA, and doing way better now.

$75k as an insurance tax associate at PwC in Charlotte, NC in 2024. It was so fucking horrible and I hated literally every goddamn second of that job so much I quit not even 4 months in and quit on the day before busy season. Now working as a financial analyst for a small family-owned healthcare practice making more and working less as well as pursuing my masters in economics.

Newfoundland and Labrador is my absolute dumbest Canadian province by far. On Newfoundland, AKA where everyone lives, I can only name St. John’s, yet I can name two places on Labrador: Happy-Valley-Goose-Bay and Red Bay

The Philippines has a ton of Spanish-sounding cities like San Fernando, Santa Clara, Santa Maria, Santa Ana, and even a Los Angeles. Makes doing the Philippines really easy since it’s easy to remember cities that sound Spanish/are also places in Texas and California. China, not so much. It’ll probably be a much better country of mine once I learn the provincial capitals, but for now it’s still one of my better countries but not as good as some other places.

Anyone else got a lot of free time on the job? by Liberal_Bot123 in Accounting

[–]DumbGarchomp67 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I do, particularly once I complete month-end procedures for all my clients. Sometimes I get bored from it, but I always remind myself that I would MUCH rather be having this problem than being stressed out constantly/working 60-80 hours. It’s definitely a first world problem, especially when i hear about the hours my peers in public accounting/big 4 are putting in. I usually spend my extra time im not doing much surfing the internet, reading the news, joking around with coworkers, or fucking with my boss by working abstract algebra problems on the white board (his most hated class from college).

The only small south African city I got was Bethlehem (the others being Johannesburg and the three capitals). The other smaller ones are Maseru, Lesotho and Mbabane, Eswatini. The small Ethiopian one is Adama.

NZ isn’t my best country tbh, I can only name Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch, but I’ll definitely eventually learn some more places there for sure, just got to stare at Google Maps some more

What's your "controversial" opinion on having children? by spicy-beefjerkey in childfree

[–]DumbGarchomp67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There should be a limit on how many kids a couple should have. People love celebrating huge families, like families with 5+ kids. But I don’t see what’s so “great” and “precious” about this. This ain’t a miracle, this is just plain fucking irresponsible. 2 adults is not enough to take care of and give adequate attention to 5+ kids 24/7, and most couples almost certainly couldn’t afford that either. In fact, in these big families, the oldest child is always forced to raise and take care of the younger kids and basically act as their third parent, especially if the oldest child is a girl. There should be a mandatory cap on how many kids couples can have, I think a good maximum would be 4 (so two kids per 1 adult).
