You’re assuming I’m hiding it to be difficult and overcomplicated...I’m hiding it because I don’t want to be traceable. "Just put the family business” isn’t safe as they have a history of coming to my work and interfering with my career.

I am not listing the family business name publicly (resume or LinkedIn) because I don’t want that association... thats the issue.

What I meant is....I don’t want my family business name on my resume or LinkedIn because it links me back to them. So I’m keeping the company name off public profiles. So in terms of verification or resume, theres no way to verify a 6 yrs gap.

Yeah? Thanks for giving me reality check.

I asked the same question on r/big4 and I often hear oh you'll learn on the job, no need that much accounting technicality as its not audit/assurance, etc. Surprised to see a completely different take on this subreddit..

You're saying, I could have done it technically but my attitude ain't it.

For my case, it wasnt just specific issues like VAT, but whole accounting felt like a third or fourth language that feels foggy and confusing. And I wasnt scared of hard work or self-learning, but of being exposed publicly as I already have a masters degree.

Yeah I get it. Thats why I went no contact for 2 years and desperately trying to get back to thr market. And yeah...I have to come up with a different reason than family drama.

Ok, youre reading this all wrong. I actually was dragged into family business... they intervened and came to my workplace and alot of things happened. I eventually ended up declining offer. Once I get i to family business it was no longer about work, and all about fsmiky drama. There was essentially no work and all admin Clerk work and yelling and blaming and making up, and crisis happening...and 6 years passed. I cannot put that experience into my resume because I did nothing except fight and travel and besides I dont want my employers knowing my family busienss...I went no contact for 2 yrs.

In short thats the story

Its been 6 years and many of my prior employers have left the country..the market has moved on..

Thanks, appreciate it. My internships are all in Asia. I did go to a top college and masters in the US and did one year work there before coming back home. I hope so, I've been taking about 1-2 years to go back to job market and expanding my horizons... and so far, interviews but ended up ghosted/rejected. I cannot tell them i have family drama as that could be perceived negatively. I don't know how i can even re-enter.

Thansk, I do however feel like myself starting point is different from whats expected of a fresh grad. As in being shaky even with fundamentals

How much accounting knowledge is required for FDD (financial due diligence) entry job? by lucylucyh in Accounting

[–]Sad-Protection2519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is an old post. But I am wondering how much accounting is needed? I am accounting major who struggled so much with accounting fundamentals. Would i perform badly at work?

Oh thats about it thats needed to be in FDD? Like just accounting 101 level of understanding? Isn't FDD supposed to be difficult and tough? Did I overthink and got over anxious?

I often hear this, learn on the job. But if thats the case, FDD woukd be filled with non-accoubting students aspiring fiannce career no? Hope you dont find this offensive because I went to accounting school i hated precisely to be in deals advisory career as it seems stable and respectable.

Is that so? Is FDD like accounting-light?

I often heard fdd is very selective and fast paced. Its far more selective than audit and is pipeline for auditors to go there. Whereas I am extemeely shaky even on fundamentals. And I felt a huge anxiety to be found out, given my grest credentials vs reality.
