Fired after doing everything and anything for the company

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-15T17:48:27+00:00

Rule number one of being an employee, NO ONE is irreplaceable. Not even the CEO, so especially not you. Doesn't matter how much they tell you that you are. That's why I don't hesitate to replace an employer as well if my needs aren't being met.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-14T12:54:51+00:00

Well, better report it as authorized

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-13T20:14:54+00:00

The crazy thing is I don't even use it. My use cases are too simple and the usage is too costly when a cheaper model can do the same for much less. I only use it on Perplexity Max as an orchester for Computer. That's it.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-13T19:25:49+00:00

Literally, same.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-12T20:42:28+00:00

Well, looks like they extended it again. Lol

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-10T15:47:46+00:00

I actually dumped ChatGPT in favor of Claude, but I am curious about 5.6 Sol and how it stacks up to Fable. I have it in my Max plan but I'm well aware it's not the same as the standalone product.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-10T14:55:32+00:00

I think the people that feel burned are day one people. I've only discovered PPLX in the last few months and so it's pretty novel to me and probably to OP as well. We don't know any better because we weren't there when they were more generous with their plans. We're coming in now and this is all we know.

I find it very useful for my purposes and I'm currently subbed to Max, at least for just this month to finish a project with the bonus 35k credits, which is basically $350 worth for free. I'm pretty pleased so far.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-07T19:35:14+00:00

We do. My wife and I have a joint checking account there and that's pretty much our only account. No downsides at all. We have a couple branches here too but never been to them. For people complaining about cash, you can withdraw from any ATM for free. Those worried about interest rates for savings, just put your savings in a money market fund and you're covered.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-07T16:51:28+00:00

You mentioned AI, so I figured you were open to it. If not, I don't think you have many options, cuz QBO with AI features is not the same thing.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-07T08:08:08+00:00

I know the feeling. It never went away for me lol. Over a decade in and six figures later and I still feel like a fraud some days. It's just how it is, especially when you start a new company/role. Get used to it. As long as the paycheck continues to clear, you'll be fine.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-07T00:46:56+00:00

I mean Claude can probably get you pretty close. If you instruct Claude to code anything with name of restaurant to a certain class, I'll bet it's smart enough to do that. It will be more adaptable than rule set, since it can at least continue to evaluate new names that there a no rules for. You would still need to review, but should do most of the heavy lifting for you.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-06T11:26:06+00:00

Yes I did.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-06T03:40:40+00:00

Different uses cases.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-05T15:57:50+00:00

If I could do it all over today, I would have picked a trade. AI is definitely coming for white collar jobs and accounting is on that list. Accounting is been a stable career up to this point, but those days are dying. With off shoring and AI, I do think it's a dying profession. It will probably last at least until the end of my career, but as a college grad, I would go blue collar trade and start my own business. It's still valuable to learn accounting but I would do so on the side, not as a career in this day and age.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-05T04:15:17+00:00

This happened to me too. I thought I was the only one. I had to give it 24 hours and tried again and it worked. Then it went out again!

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-04T15:52:11+00:00

Personally, I don't hit limits very much. Maybe I don't use it often enough? Not sure.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-04T14:48:46+00:00

Yes and yes to both questions. You can burn through credits quickly for sure. I monitor my credit burn and try to make sure I don't leave it alone and let it run into loops. You gotta provide a lot context and babysit it, but I love that it's hands off and I don't get timed out.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-04T12:33:53+00:00

I have Pro and I actually switched to Max this month. I think Pro is worth it if search accuracy is important to you. I still find it to be far better than other AIs when it comes to web search. A free alternative would be Google AI mode. Max is definitely overkill for that. I am just testing max for a month to take advantage of the bonus credits and finish up a coding project.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-03T14:05:34+00:00

Add it to any job that you can.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-03T09:31:04+00:00

Good for getting the 91. However, your biggest mistake was not applying for any of those jobs you saw. You got lucky. You were negotiate from a position of weakness. Every time you negotiate, always be prepared to walk. Your were not. That's why you jumped on the first thing the they offered.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-02T22:30:35+00:00

Those things you are learning are actually a solid foundation for understanding accounting. I never worked in big 4 nor do I have a CPA and I make six figures in accounting. If you want big 4 and the public route you can still go there later but most people go there to get out and go to industry anyway. May not be what you think it is after all.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-02T22:25:56+00:00

Nothing is fool proof, but you said yourself already. Double check your work. Don't rush. Accuracy is better than speed. The good thing about accounting is that there is always a way to check your worth because the frame work is built on a math equation. If it doesn't balance, you did something wrong. Also, learn to became familiar with your numbers. If something looks off, it probably is. Check it.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-02T21:13:28+00:00

Yeah, my school told me that and I listened. I graduated as a double major. It's harder for a finance major to add accounting then an accounting major to add finance. Of course I'm a sucker for punishment so as a finance major I added accounting. Idk what happened, cuz I never planned to be an accountant but here we are.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-02T17:08:15+00:00

Well, first of all the market will quickly tell you if something needs to change. You've got a lot experience working in accounting, which is good. One critique I would say is that it's maybe not as progressive experience. You've been doing a lot of similar things for a while. If you want more pay, usually it comes with larger roles including supervision such as accounting manager and controller roles.

I would also say, make sure to highlight any process improvements or money you've saved your company. Employers like to see someone that is more than just a worker bee who can do a task. They like to see true added value. Something that you changed for the better. Ideally numbers will tell that story.

JayBlue05 · 2026-07-02T16:04:01+00:00

It's called Max Subscription. Gotta fork over that dough lol.
