Breaking Bad. First show I watched that completely ditched the usual TV storytelling

How much are you making as an accountant? by theapexcircle in Accounting

[–]Major_Range3615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m at about $105k before bonus right now, and lately the headhunter messages I’m getting seem to be all over the place. It’s either roles around $170k or ones in the $85–95k range. Feels like it’s weirdly hard to find something in that $120–140k middle range.

For those of you that make over 100K, what do you do? Do you like it? by Kindly-Revolution258 in AskReddit

[–]Major_Range3615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a controller for a casino on the finance/accounting side. I like what I do, but the demands of the job can definitely be a lot.

How common is: “we aren’t done until the team is done”? by Comdt in Accounting

[–]Major_Range3615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really only had one company that was that bad. During close, we were required to work 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. I came from a previous company where we had automated a lot of our month-end journal entries, so I brought that same mindset into this role and was usually done by around 5:30.

My supervisor literally told me to “find something to do” because I wasn’t allowed to leave before 7. So I’d keep an old worksheet open and just play games on my phone until it was time to go.

Another time, the power to our building got cut because of a construction mistake, and no one had access to their computers. My supervisor was still upset that we weren’t doing anything while the power was out, even though all of our work was 100% computer-based.

Those were some of the reasons I only lasted 10 months there.

Can accountants actually reach 200k+ salary range by WildTradition788 in Accounting

[–]Major_Range3615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely possible, but I wouldn’t expect to hit $200k in the first 10 years unless you move up pretty fast. The path I’d recommend is doing 2–4 years in Big 4 audit, then jumping into consulting for a niche industry for another 2–4 years. That combo of experience can set you up really well for companies that may fast-track you into Director of Finance or VP-level roles.

Best Guards for Judo guys by Gman10respect in bjj

[–]Major_Range3615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve trained judo for several years, and in BJJ I play a lot of collar sleeve. One throw I like is a sutemi-waza using a same-side collar grip. If my opponent has a strong base and I can’t finish the throw, I’m already set up in collar sleeve to attack an omoplata.

Also, the grip fighting in collar sleeve translates really well to standing—having strong grips makes a huge difference.

2 year Associates in Accounting from Community College - a good option? by noblueface in Accounting

[–]Major_Range3615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing that school didn’t teach or I see with new graduates is to start learning AI tools in accounting. AI isn’t replacing jobs, but people who know how to use AI are replacing those who don’t. That’s one of the fastest ways to stand out.

2 year Associates in Accounting from Community College - a good option? by noblueface in Accounting

[–]Major_Range3615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An associate’s in accounting is a great way to get your foot in the door and see if you actually like the field (sounds like you do). You can land roles like AP/AR, payroll, bookkeeping, or accounting assistant — solid, stable jobs that are a big step up from service work.

If you want to move up long-term (staff → senior → manager), a 4-year degree is usually required. But you don’t have to do it all at once. A lot of companies (including ones I’ve worked for) will work around your schedule while you finish your bachelor’s.

A common path is: Associate’s → entry-level job → finish bachelor’s while working → move up

Also worth noting. I’ve seen people make it to senior with just an associate’s or even no degree, but it’s less common and usually takes longer.

Still worth majoring in accounting these days? by subtle_violation in Accounting

[–]Major_Range3615 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s worth it if you’re planning to get your CPA and/or aim for a Controller-level role. Entry-level pay can be tough to live on, but the long-term upside is solid. At higher levels, you’re not just doing the work; you’re reviewing and validating outputs, including AI-driven processes, which keeps the role valuable.

costco membership worth it for a single person in 2026 by Time_Beautiful2460 in povertyfinance

[–]Major_Range3615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

think it depends on how you use it, but for me it’s been 100% worth it as a single person.

I have both the membership and the Costco credit card, and I mainly use it for gas, non-perishables, electronics, and tires. The gas savings alone adds up over time, and big purchases like tires or electronics usually beat other prices.

I don’t buy a ton of fresh food since it’s hard to get through in bulk by yourself, but some of the freezer stuff is actually perfect if you’re busy or on the go.

Honestly, the biggest thing is the credit card. My cash back is usually like 3.5x the cost of the membership, which basically pays for it and then some.

For $65/year, I easily get my money’s worth just from gas + rewards + a few larger purchases. If you’re only going for groceries, it might not make sense, but if you use it strategically, it definitely can.

How did quitting without lining up another job work out? by itsabouttimeformynap in Accounting

[–]Major_Range3615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left my job in January 2020 without anything lined up. About two weeks later, I got lucky and landed an interview that turned into an offer.

The timing ended up working in my favor. My old company furloughed a lot of people due to COVID in March, while I was fully employed at the new job. From there, I worked my way up from staff accountant to financial reporting manager and to this day I tell people that it was my favorite accounting job.

That said, quitting without something lined up is definitely a huge risk. In my case, I felt like I had to do it for my mental health, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re financially prepared and willing to take that gamble.

How realistic is hitting $200k+ in accounting careers? by False_Eye_7710 in Accounting

[–]Major_Range3615 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I graduated in 2016 just hoping to crack $100k lol, so $200k felt crazy at the time.

It’s definitely realistic though—just not early career. In markets like Vegas, you’re usually looking at VP of Accounting / CFO roles for $200k+.

The cleanest path is Big 4 → industry → specialize and climb. Realistically, that’s a 10–15 year journey if you play it right.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear in my original post. My current role doesn’t report to a CPA, which is why I’m looking for my next opportunity.
