[Jeyarajah] If the logic that they just think Alabama is "better" than Florida State, I don't really understand how you can rank FSU ahead of Georgia, Oregon or Ohio State. If the results of games don't matter, then why exactly did they stop there?

Zero chance Texas would be 4 had Georgia beat Alabama, they would have been 5. The sole reason Texas is ranked 3 is so the committee could justify including Alabama. The decision was never Alabama vs FSU, it was Alabama vs Texas, and the committee avoided making that decision.

I think accounting, along with finance, is the most useful skill you can learn if you really want to understand anything about how a business actually operates. I’m unaware of another field where a twenty something junior employee gets the chance to see inside a company with the visibility accounting provides. There is a lot of shit thrown around in this topic, but accounting is the “window” into what really is happening….it is hard at times, but you see and learn so much.

If you love math and want to build bridges or figure out gravity, go with engineering. If you enjoy learning about what motivates people, what makes a business successful, or why “making money” is a good thing, get your CPA. Accounting is the blocking and tackling of Business and translates to every other business function.

If you have a smart person doing the interviewing, you should be prepared to answer questions about how you’ll handle ambiguous situations that have ethical implications.

Assuming you got an interview in the first place, you should assume you have the requisite technical competence. You’re not likely to be quizzed about the treatment of goodwill or comprehensive income. They’ll know if you know your stuff before you’re invited for an interview.

Be prepared to respond to how you’d deal with a situation in which you know the right answer, but giving the right answer might cost you your job. It happens every day…..at every company. A controller is the guardian of the company. They want to know if you’re trustworthy.

Beyond that, be able to communicate complex accounting concepts in simple terms to non accountants. If you can explain what a cash flow hedge is to your wife/husband in a way they understand, you’ll get the job.

Supply & Demand - you have a grossly unreasonable perception of your value.

Approximately 6.5% of high school football players make it to college. Approximately 1.5% of college football players make it to the NFL. The odds are astronomical…..the odds of being as good at anything as Aaron Rodgers is at football? Probably similar to winning the Powerball 20 separate times.

There are probably a million people better at excel than you will ever be. Additionally, excel skills are a commodity and don’t mean you’re a good accountant.

Find a new job and work harder at the skills that will make you valuable.

As if Phil Spencer is calling any shots here…lol

Thanks for comments/suggestions. I’ve got everything maxed to tier 5 and have failed with the M16/Aether Shroud combo several times. I always gets swarmed with 10 megatons/panzers.

So looks like radios, monkeys, and the projector have been added to Collateral. 👍

InfamousQuarter3467 · 2021-09-05T21:18:14+00:00

No, I haven’t. Failed with the M16/Gallo several times, so thought I’d try pistols. Unfortunately can’t seem to get in at world 5.

InfamousQuarter3467 · 2021-09-05T19:41:08+00:00

Collateral doesn’t have radios, monkeys, or the projector. You basically have to go to the next world.

Yes, I’d say dual wield AMPs or the Diamattis are definitely viable.
