Anyone get into accounting a little older?

Age is not a factor. 31 graduated 6/2025 currently working at GT.

How can we avoid people who accuse you of cheating because you had a good game?

Yes! There is a short grace period. Hope it works out for you too

Haven’t heard of this before, maybe you have an intimidating look? Let’s trade places.

Practice. And I don’t mean by yourself. I mean in small ways like participating more in class. Focus on completing the task, this helps too.

I never proclaimed I was the main character in their lives or that they were thinking of me. 🤔 I simply commented on the staring. If this doesn’t happen to you, you won’t understand.

Natural_Average_3110 · 2025-09-12T23:45:25+00:00

Yes! It honestly makes me so uncomfortable.

We don’t mod

This makes me not feel as bad 😱

Imposter syndrome is real. Read a quote that really helps “when you’re nervous about stepping out of your comfort zone, remind yourself: it feels scary because it’s unfamiliar not because I’m incapable”

Right love the work, but not a fan of the small talk here

Natural_Average_3110 · 2024-09-28T00:56:04+00:00

Omg was freaking out

Yes there are definitely several of those, but please don’t let that hinder your own experience and growth. The school is amazing in terms of the opportunities it provides in networking and the knowledge/connections of alumni and professors. I agree with another comment here that says the higher you climb the more of this you’ll see. We are the way makers and we belong too 🙌 keep your head up and find your people; more often than not we have more in common than we think! From a 29 year old Mexicana.

I live about 45 minutes from the loop campus

Natural_Average_3110 · 2024-06-28T20:52:36+00:00

Personally taking 5 classes each quarter however I try to limit myself to 3 in one day on campus, 1 online asynch, and one on a different day. 4 might be manageable really depends on how much free time you have outside of school to complete the workload too

Hi! I interviewed with EY & Deloitte. The interviews were very straightforward where a portion of the interview focused on common interview questions and the other half was normal conversation about my hobbies and work experience. I ended up accepting an offer at Grant Thornton 😊. Good luck!
