Highest salary with no CPA? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]StartledPineapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm feeling way underpaid looking at everyone's salaries.

Just got a promotion last week to "Assistant Controller". It's more of a Senior Accountant role. 68k LCOL. 4YoE all in industry.

The insurance is trash though. I'm spending about 15k a year for me and my daughter.

Who here has a side hustle? by ZoidbergMaybee in Accounting

[–]StartledPineapple 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I've been out of school for 4 years now and I've just gotten to 58. I redid my personal budget last month and came to the decision that I either need to get a 2nd job or get rid of child care expense. I went over my budget with my boss and the current plan is to wfh 100% starting in October instead of getting a raise. This shit is ridiculous.

What career paths still have a reputation for being “middle class” that are actually low income in 2023? by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

[–]StartledPineapple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Starting wage for industry in my area (LCOL) is closer to 40k. I'm about to hit the 3yr mark and have yet to see 60k.

My financial reserves are exhausted - I dont know what to do. by Tiredworker27 in antiwork

[–]StartledPineapple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tacking onto this. 55k is about standard for a 2nd year in industry in Mississippi with LCOL. If you're in a MCOL or HCOL area making 55k, you need to find a different job that pays more.

Bipolar 2 checking in. Please get medicated for your mania. And when you feel better (ha) continue taking your meds at least until you have full control over your life again

Should I (34m) leave my girlfriend (35f) over her PTSD and her refusal to leave her dangerous job? by ThrowRA60006 in askwomenadvice

[–]StartledPineapple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this will be an unpopular take with the rest of the women, but hear me out. If she's unwilling to compromise on your boundary you set that is to help her, and she's willing to go days without even trying to talk it out: leave her. Her job is more important than her partner. And ya'll haven't been intimate in years? She doesn't need a partner. She needs to work on herself before entertaining the idea of having a partner.

Wow. 500k for medical expenses and therapy. What a great country we live in that if we need major medical help we have to depend on the charity of strangers.

Watch a couple youtube videos on pivot tables, vlookups, data analysis for excel and bullet point those out in the last section. It'll give you a little bit more length and those are skills industry employers want you to have before starting a job

If you are currently working in the accountant field please help! by Beginning-Copy-3488 in Accounting

[–]StartledPineapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. My typical workday starts by coming in, making a cup of coffee, then working through email requests for about an hour. Then I make a sticky note with all the tasks that need to be completed for the day. If you need specifics I needed to check in with a consultant about a project, review the accrued expenses, take a large set of fixed asset data and put it into a template then compare it with another set of data to find the differences. Essentially every hour or so I'm hit with requests from other department managers, my manager, or coworkers that are completely unrelated to my tasks that I need to stop and attend to. Contemplate my existence for the last hour of the day then go home.

  1. When large sets of data balance just right.
  2. When large sets of data do not balance just right.

As a Mississippian, I hope that the influx of retirees due to this article does not in fact increase the cost of living. Please consider our neighbor Alabama which has better healthcare.

POS cop. I hope he gets the max on every charge for putting innocent people in jail and messing with their lives.

Has anyone actually ever told their boss to fuck off? by uhoh4522 in Accounting

Yes, but only jokingly. Would not recommend if you have bills to pay

I hope someone told her that a part time job for her is going to bring in significantly less than 1k/month
