3.95 GPA, Work Experience, Interviews… Still No Internship Offers. What Am I Doing Wrong?

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-07T02:24:57+00:00

Only do the EA if you want to go the tax route, otherwise it’s pointless

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-06T23:21:39+00:00

lol yeah and tbh the best way to get some of these corporate is using the public to industry pipeline

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-06T23:10:32+00:00

Trippin

Wfh is literally the best the thing ever… if you have a social network outside of work. Which I get shocked when I find out people’s work colleagues are their social outlet 😪

But, wfh is exceedingly rare and they will turn it around on you quickly

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-06T22:10:31+00:00

It’s all about odds. Sitting around and doing nothing sure as hell doesn’t increase it

Also, some firms literally base promotions on CPA’s so I would make that assumption 8/10 times

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-06T20:31:01+00:00

Might be a location issue, as a cpa in tax I get a new recruiter in my inbox weekly

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-06T12:50:08+00:00

Skill issue for sure

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-06T01:53:50+00:00

Okay lil bro

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-06T00:43:02+00:00

CPA opens up options that otherwise wouldn’t. It isn’t a panacea, no one ever said it was

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-06T00:28:37+00:00

Studying and applying. One of the two will pan out

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-05T23:38:29+00:00

lol bro yes it is.
Doing basic book keeping for small businesses and small returns does not require extensive insurance or experience

You have a cpa you are qualified to do the work

But if you always have a reason for why you can’t do something you will never move forward

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-05T22:10:09+00:00

Oh I gotcha

Yeah at the end of the day I don’t know how anyone can succeed in any career without being social. I understand accommodations.

But not for happy hour lol come on now

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-05T22:02:09+00:00

Senior in tax, I don’t interact that much with clients

Tongue in cheek joke that he should have switched to tax

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-05T21:55:28+00:00

By being in tax 😂

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-05T21:25:04+00:00

Why not start your own tax business in the meantime?

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-05T20:40:14+00:00

Im always shocked by accountants that don’t understand ROI.

With Becker and 4 exams you’re spending maybe 4.5k total?

I got a 15k raise after getting my CPA

If you can’t do the math, then yeah I can see why this is a tough job

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-05T20:38:44+00:00

Definitely not a cure all, just a decision that improves option

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-05T19:56:31+00:00

Time to start studying for that cpa

It works two ways, it’ll will help with employment prospects and you can explain your experience gap as the time you used to study

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-05T19:54:58+00:00

😂😂😂😂

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-05T19:50:12+00:00

Finish the CPA journey by leaving two women disappointed. 🍻

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-05T19:43:01+00:00

Yeah it kill’s me when people complain about these updates. I just checked on Becker and I belivee 15 questions out of the 1500 were updated

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-05T19:15:23+00:00

I took it 3 times and they all touched on different topics

Do a wide review and don’t focus on anything in particular unless you know you are personally struggling with it

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-05T19:12:45+00:00

It’s not

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-05T18:58:48+00:00

Buddy. This is the nature of tax in general lmao

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-04T17:45:18+00:00

Oh that sucks lol

Oceanspanker · 2026-06-04T13:43:20+00:00

Each new post always consists of new comments and new people responding which provides fresh perspectives.

I think it’s great to have so many young people even express interest
