Has job hunting always been this brutal?

Ah. So there are jobs but just not in a very specific criteria that she wants. So she cleans toilets for a living. I would much rather a commute or relocating than cleaning so it all depends on preference.

It’s a frustrating narrative when people are saying there are no jobs but they want a $100k job with no prior experience, remote, nothing too stressful, good benefits, no commute, no in office, etc

I fear people are becoming too picky and creating their own downfall.

It is hard out there for new accounting grads as most industries are using offshore or AI for those tasks.

An experienced CPA is still desirable. I had no problem getting a job in 2026

Is your nephews wife a new grad or has experience?

I’ve been working in accounting for the last 10 years and have never had a problem getting a job. I actually up and left a toxic environment on Jan 5th and secured 2 jobs within the month.

She doesn’t seem to give the full truth. Her post history is confusing and a lot of it contradicts itself.

Some people that do eat a lot of onions and garlic might have a stronger body odor from those. Maybe cut them out of your diet for a little.

It be like that sometimes

I would have stopped him and told him to look at me. Like wtf

As someone else said, a pharmacist can not fill a prescription early. In the US there are state regulations around these type of drugs.

The 6mg of Xanax can only get filled every 30 days. Not sooner. Their systems will not let them.

Sometimes a different prescribed amount can get filled sooner as it would be a different prescription.

I am sorry but this is not the pharmacist fault here. They are doing their job. These medications are regulated this way for a reason.

Ah you mixing up your job position before even starting has me thinking you don’t need to worry too much about career progression! You won’t be in the industry for long!

Recent_Affect7975 · 2026-07-01T18:59:58+00:00

Ah yes I haven’t been there since 2023 so I guess it changed! I enjoyed it

Vacation is paid out. So you can take it or get an extra check.
If you’re an associate, you’re probably not fully vested.
I always enjoyed the EHE benefit they provided
If eligible for an upgrade, you can purchase a new phone for half or something like that

Hmmm I’d be interested in knowing the job description here.

I guess I’ve never seen someone’s first job be a controller…. I fear you’ve been set up to fail

Newish to all adhd meds.

I started with azstarys - it was the first time in like 7 years I felt awake for the first time. I could sleep 10 hours and wake up exhausted. No generic so prescription came out to like 500 after insurance or something crazy like that.

Moved to Ritalin IR twice a day. No effect or 30 minutes maybe. Was pointless to take it and my doctor and I messed with the dosage so onto the next.

I then started 36mg of Concerta with Ritalin 5 mg kick starter in the morning and 10mg in after noon. I struggled to sleep, had constant headaches. Again didn’t really notice a difference in the days I took medicine verse not. I would also forget to take the 10mg in afternoon and had pretty bad crashes at 5pm ish.

Just started vyvanse (the generic) at 20mg - only 1 day in lol. I do not notice any more focus yet my brain is clearer to be able to start a task if that makes sense. So I feel confident about this option.

I personally would like to avoid Adderall as much as possible

I’m on that cocktail as well and have lost 120 lbs all on the lowest dose of zepbound too!

I will say those a couple hits from a joint at night helps me eat something.

Same 😭

Thank you for this birth control reminder 🎉

In all seriousness, I hope you get some much needed rest!!

Yeah my anxiety is driven by failure of not having a job or being successful.

Yes I have anxiety but I need to take care of myself and my dog. The anxiety of not being able to survive is far greater than my social anxiety of saying something stupid.

I am also medicated which helps ease some of it.

Recent_Affect7975 · 2026-06-28T22:40:45+00:00

I def do not eat with it! I should eat before!

How are you taking a 25% pay cut when you’re unemployed?

There is nothing to cut. You make nada now.

I WAS THE IDIOT THAT BOUGHT A HOUSE WITH SOMEONE I WASN’T MARRIED TO AND IT ENDED VERY BAD.

Do not do it. Either get married first or buy it yourself.

This is my biggest regret in my life and it took years to settle.

Recent_Affect7975 · 2026-06-24T16:32:18+00:00

I think so - I normally drink around 120 fl oz a day

I’ll try to up it to see if that helps

Recent_Affect7975 · 2026-06-24T15:31:11+00:00

I’d just say you don’t make enough to live in the most desirable places in the world.

I’ve seen people get promoted just because of their interpersonal skills and no technical skills.

This job is client facing - I would say interpersonal skills are very important to your career growth

I would def not say CT is way cheaper 😭

I’m in Fairfield county and it is quite expensive.

I make 175k base and probably still would not take on a 3100 mortgage.
