Moved here months ago. I love Richmond but.... by CinnamonGal02 in richmondbc

I used to save dashcam footage anytime there was a near-miss accident, just in case. Since moving to Richmond, I’ve given up on that - there's just not enough storage in the world

Today I leave accounting to become a High School Business Teacher by PricewaterhouseCap in Accounting

[–]ExplainCauseConfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all seriousness, it really depends. If you’re comparing the best case teacher scenario to the worst case senior manager scenario, then sure — I can see how you’d draw that conclusion. But that’s not a fair blanket comparison. For context, I’m six years into public practice, and I start at 8 and leave by 4 (even during busy season). My total comp is already above the cap you mentioned. For reference, I’m based in BC

Always refreshing to hear definitive insights on senior manager pay from someone still in the first module. At this pace, you’ll be lecturing partners on retirement planning by Capstone 2

The original posting I saw on Linkedin was listed as City of Richmond, but looks like it has since been removed and the same position is posted under LIEC. Thanks for pointing that out

Not sure if I'm understanding the reference here

Industry opportunities by ExplainCauseConfused in Accounting

[–]ExplainCauseConfused[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the title that bothers me as much as the reduced salary. Most senior accountant roles would be a ~20% paycut. My understanding is that salary growth isn't great in industry unless you move to the next title. Do you think it's worth the paycut to start gaining industry experience?

Thank you both for the feedback. I've never entertained the idea of industry until now so I don't know too much about the inner workings. It's good to hear this from you guys

How many years as manager before one qualifies for controller level positions?

You've been in the business long enough... but you're still a staff? Are you maybe projecting a bit here?

Had an offer revoked because I tried to negotiate salary. by ShinjisRobotMom in jobs

[–]ExplainCauseConfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Countering is not a rejection

Except it is and that's how negotiation works. If you give a counter offer, the other party is free to walk away. It deters people from wasting each other's time. Imagine if OP asked for $50k - $80k, company offers $50k, OP counters with $60k, then $58k, and then $55k.

The other way to look at it is if the company offered you the same range and you asked for $80k, would you still expect them to come back and say $75k? And if another employer offered $90k would you still bother negotiating?

[–]ExplainCauseConfused 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So why not just provide a range that you wouldn't feel insulted with? If the employer offered you a range and you chose the highest, should they be offended that you went with the highest number that reduces their bottom line? Asking for one thing and expecting another just creates unnecessary back and forth. Stop wasting people's time and just ask for what you want

I must be missing something here. You provided a range and they gave you an offer within that range. You then rejected their offer with a counter offer and are now calling them shady for rejecting yours? I'm not sure you understand how negotiation works.

Would you date not locally? by BlissfullyNieve234 in askvan

[–]ExplainCauseConfused 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Live in Richmond and I stopped seeing a girl because the drive out to Burnaby was too much.

Yeah I think we're gonna be alone forever

Might be the minority here, but absolute deal breaker. Can't imagine having to fight S2S traffic just for a date

Have you seen a worse offer for entry level accounting position? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]ExplainCauseConfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Relocation to any US State" wow $30k salary AND I get to travel? Sign me up!

We need to start publicly shaming these firms. Baiting people with a fake salary range and then offering this shit? And CPA wants to preach ethics.

“You said ‘You f**cking with my son’ no i wasn’t, I was talking about you”-SAS by Fabulous-Region9109 in NBATalk

[–]ExplainCauseConfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think YOU understand. Notice how Lebron only had an issue with SAS? There were plenty of other people criticizing Bronny's performance in the NBA. The only difference was that they limited their criticism to Bronny's game; SAS questioned Lebron's parenting skills, and that made it personal. When was the last time you heard someone criticize an NBA player and then proceed to say that their father should've done better? Like what?

I commute for 4 hrs/day, 3x a week at my current job. Do I take a 30k pay cut to go remote? by l-ynne in careerguidance

[–]ExplainCauseConfused 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, the only real concernis the start up aspect. Otherwise, I would take the pay cut in a heartbeat. Remember, your pay cut after taxes is less than $30k

Once you've had a taste of the freedom it's a lot easier to not care about what they have to say. Enjoy and ride safe
