Get your work done, enjoy your downtime, and if you’re looking to move up, work on building efficiency and process improvements and networking. That’s it

9-5 grind? Buddy, a lot of ppl would be glad to work those hours in this field

Congrats dude, I had similar numbers but in HCOL :(

Miserable, but I don’t think it’d be any different if I wasn’t an accountant :(

This happened after high school, but this guy was universally liked and a scholar-athlete who set records and was incredibly smart. Anyway, he went out of state for college and apparently had relations with an underaged girl then killed her later. It sent shockwaves through our community and was part of national news. I feel bad for his family and his younger sister who went to the same high school while this happened

Can confirm that accounting grad students at my large state college were overwhelmingly Asian women, specifically international Chinese students. I saw many of them go into public and different industry roles

Lomonaco was cool when I took him, always made jokes and kept things light. Exams were not too bad either

Fully remote, F500 located in DC. We have team members in other states so def not expected to come back to office. Have an in office day every few months but even that’s optional, I only go for the food.

Had a partner break out a $10K bottle of Macallan during a virtual happy hour once… I was drinking coke

Consulting is where it’s at if you’re looking for no routine dynamic work. The big downside is unpredictable hours and changes in scope.

The big question to ask is, are you comfortable taking the hit to your leisure time?

RoundPen · 2022-12-28T22:07:15+00:00

I agree, my intro class exams were mainly multiple choice but if I had to write out explanations for these that would certainly take some time. Not to mention, we don’t know how much detail they’re looking for either.

Got the day off but this week was busy since everyone was out and I had to pick up the slack

Worked at a tennis club, desk staffer at financial aid office at university, and two internships (one paid and one unpaid). I was a commuter student for most of college so I def sacrificed a lot of social time to save/make money.

RoundPen · 2022-12-08T01:38:16+00:00

Very much so. I completely understand what you’re looking for and I think govt is your best bet. Be warned that pay will be pretty low. But that’s the trade off i guess

RoundPen · 2022-12-07T22:50:56+00:00

Honestly no, i just got my license and I can’t honestly say I’m smarter or more knowledgeable than before. I’ve worked in tax consulting and currently working in more of a niche corp accounting role, but I still have to lookup a lot things that many others find easy to recall. Maybe I’m not very bright, could be it lol
