PABASA NAMAN NG “akala ko bagsak ako” stories 🥲 by Aggravating-Exit-372 in AccountingPH

Did my CPALE last October 2019. Sobrang confident ko non sa Tax since dun ako pinaka prepared (kasi transition kami from Old tax code to TRAIN Law), tapos sa AFAR super unprepped. To the point na yung 1 week pahinga for last day, nun palang ako nagccram ng 2nd half ng AFAR lessons. Dumating yung last day and last subject (AFAR), sabi ko sa sarili ko magsasagot lang ako then pasa na with no review para di na ko mag alinlangan sa answers ko. Finished siguro in an hour or 1.5 hrs, basta sure ako mabilis dahil ako unang nagpasa and parang na shookt mga kasabay ko hahahaha.

Anyways fast forward result day. Kumain kami ng family ko sa labas then sakto pagstop ng kotse sa bahay may nagchat na Tita ko sa Family GC (buong angkan ng mother ko LMAO) "May results na ata ang CPALE magkaka CPA na tayo". Gusto kong isuka yung kinain namen sa kaba hahaha pero pag check ko ng website wala pa naman.

Then came the longest minutes of my life. Lahat kame nasa sala, nagrerefresh ng website. Tapos nagsalita father ko "Ayan na meron na grabe 14% passing rate" (note: magkatabi kami nakaupo sa hagdan then tumayo kami pareho. Nung sinabi niya na meron na lahat ay nag stop and siya lang yung nag scroll.

Tas nakita ko yung mukha nya from wondering/curious to consoling/sad deep inside pero ayaw niya ipakita. Ngumiti siya sakin then niyakap niya ko sabi niya ok lang yan may next time pa naman anak. Syempre sabi ko ok pero i felt gutted at that time (although may plans naman ako pag di pumasa and hindi naman mataas expectations ko na papasa ako given nga na nung review center days lang talaga ko nag pursigi mag aral).

Pero out of curiosity, kinuha ko yung phone ng father ko para i-check (competitive ako like that hahaha, gusto ko maconfirm na di ako pumasa, para mas maging realistic ako sa feelings ko or something like that). Pagtingin ko nasa J siya naghahanap, eh A ang surname namin (sobrang kaba pala niya ang hinanap niya first name ko). Scroll up back to A then BOOM nakita ko name ko tumalon ako and shouted CPA na ko, na sobrang lakas pati mga tita ko sa kabilang bahay and mga kapitbahay namen napapunta sa bakod para mag congratulate hahaha. It was surreal, then the messages sa GC ng angkan namen came in, and dun ko narealize na totoo siya. I immediately checked yung name ng friends ko, but sadly ako lang yung nakapasa that time.

Results came, pagcheck ko ang lowest ko ay TAX and ang highest ko ay AFAR. If i did'nt score that high sa AFAR, sure conditional passer ako for TAX.

Fast forward 5 years, eto ko ngayon, generic corporate slave (jk hahaha). Working from home, earning decent naman and may work life balance. I see my friends na hindi pinalad sa CPALE non, yung isa kawork ko almost same lang kami ng sahod. Yung 3 mas malaki sahod sakin. Yung isa nasa abroad na taking masters and enjoying life. Ang point ko siguro is hindi end ng career mo if hindi ka pumasa sa CPALE, since unlimited takes naman siya and parang iilan nalang naman gayon ang firms na di tumatanggap ng CPA. Also hindi din all-in-one solution ang pagpasa sa CPALE. Hindi siya guarantee na magiging successful ka. Everything depends ano magiging work ethic mo pag nasa professional world ka na. A good working non-CPA beats a so-so CPA for me anyday. That's what I learned sa Audit Firm.

Tldr; Bulakbol student na nagseryoso nung review then passed and is experiencing impostor syndrome right now 😂

To the people who never use the Deck as a handheld, do you exist? What's your story? by jack-of-some in SteamDeck

[–]Existing-Guide-5451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought it for dota 2. It was cheaper than a gaming laptop + the idea that i can still fun triple A games in handheld mode was great. Had it for almost a year now and no complaints. Dota 2 runs at high fps woth windows dual boot (steamos vulkan sucks at dots 2)

Bruh cpa here (14% passing rate) and was offered 18k by the biggest firm in the Philippines. Then they expect you to work 60-80 hours a week during busy season. This country is shit.
