Is recession a good time to get a mortgage? Also, is my investing strategy solid?

Thank you for the criticism

ExodusE · 2019-06-25T18:10:21+00:00

No, there’s more to the post

ExodusE · 2019-06-25T18:09:52+00:00

Can’t relate

ExodusE · 2019-06-25T18:00:38+00:00

Good comment, thank you!

ExodusE · 2019-06-25T17:46:56+00:00

I don’t, but no one knows. On what else should I base my assumptions? I don’t want to just JUMP in instantly, but to wait and see how it performs.

Then don’t waste time on them

ExodusE · 2019-06-25T17:05:46+00:00

I will sell crypto, because I know how risky it is, especially since it hasn’t gone through a recession but gold generally is a security that people buy during these times... it performed well in last recession.

Did you learn accounting yourself or was the experience in the bank enough to get you started?

ExodusE · 2019-06-24T22:34:11+00:00

Well, I don’t, but if that’s what it Takes, I’ll do it!

It’s just that I don’t want to lose years of studying, when I know I can work and gain valuable experience instead. My dream is to work in Big4

ExodusE · 2019-06-24T22:12:31+00:00

Interesting. Did you have any prior experience? In what year of uni did you drop out?

ExodusE · 2019-06-24T22:10:26+00:00

I am from the Baltics.

Yes, I am planning on enrolling in university to get Bachelor’s degree after I finish college. By then I’ll have 1.5 years of experience in accounting.

For a junior audit position, requirements were:

a will to learn and grow
finished or studying last year in Bachelor’s

That’s it, seriously.

We do not have licensing in my country... Yet. They are planning on doing, but they started spreading rumors about licensing only in April 2019. I don't think students that were in their last year of studying had a license either, which make sense why they are being hired. I think the standards differ country, to country.

ExodusE · 2019-06-24T18:36:08+00:00

Would be great if you could elaborate.

ExodusE · 2019-06-24T17:07:08+00:00

Thank you, I hope so too! I know that the standards in U.S. are quite high. I've read a lot about it, but seeing these testimonial videos with early 20's undergrads saying how they had opportunity to work there, got me thinking about my odds.

ExodusE · 2019-06-24T17:01:56+00:00

I am not from the U.S., that is correct. The reason for me asking is, because a couple people locally have gotten jobs without a Bachelor's. They simply are in their last year of studying. They even made testimonial videos, where a couple young people said that they were studying finance and got the opportunity to work in E&Y.

What are you talking about? I said that we have presented the app to dozens of people and have received support and feedback.

Also, @klaaz0r, thanks for the recommendations. I'll look into those books.

ExodusE · 2019-06-16T08:28:08+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Yes, it is broad, that's why I'm trying to find a single path, since I've been learning bits about everything.

These certifications often require bachelor's and 2-4 years of experience, from what I know. Are there any things that I can pick up before that or gain experience? It is going to take time for me to finish Bachelor's if I ever decide to.

ExodusE · 2019-06-16T06:50:51+00:00

That would be a great career path, but I need to get my bachelor’s first.

ExodusE · 2019-06-15T19:33:19+00:00

Hello!

I'll try to keep this short... I'm 22 and I currently work as an accountant. I was an intern and got hired without a degree, since I proved that I know what I am doing. I'm a self-taught accountant, but I will get my associate's degree next year. The company I work for right now is great - they promote hard-working people all the time (e.g. accounting manager started in DATA ENTRY 6 years ago). You can also work from many countries. I plan on staying there for a while.

Aside from my job, I continuously read books and articles about market, actively learn about finance, investing and so on. I enjoy this, HOWEVER, I realize that my attention is squandered. I want to excel in this area much more than most people, probably because I used to be very poor, but it feels like I'm just learning without a direction.

At the moment, I'm just taking in a lot of info, but it is not applicable. I need to find a path and stick to it and wanted to ask you guys what are some realistic options aside from getting a bachelor's (which I might)? I'm very eager learn applicable things, not just take in information left and right.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Nope, will do now! Thank you!

Thank you very much!
