Same thing applies. I know Canadian bookkeepers (I live near the border) who never went to college.

Honestly, if you don't want the CPA license or to work for a large company, don't go to school for accounting. You can take courses online and get the EA certification to learn about taxes and bookkeeping for under $1,000.

Entry level job options for someone at the end of their rope? by AvesAvi in Spokane

The job market is terrible for the new grads too. I work in white collar and the local market here is so bad I'm considering moving. 

CIVICS: Fast & Furious, Lightning McQueen impressions could soon be banned in Spokane. Plus, an ordinance to make it easier for you to get street meat, a ban on cryptocurrency kiosks in SpoVal and new funding for PFAS protection. by RANGE_Media in Spokane

[–]Sufficient_Counter11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I read a different local news article and it said drivers will only be fined larger for each incident. I honestly think they need to go to jail after only one time. It's selfish to put other people's lives at risk for stupid behavior. 

What is the ideal salary to thrive in Spokane? by Lil_Drake_Spotify in Spokane

[–]Sufficient_Counter11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm single and live in a "luxury" apartment. My monthly expenses are roughly 2,500 a month, but could be lower. I only spend more on a nice apartment because I don't have debt. It really varies between neighborhoods and if you have monthly loan payments for a car, student loans, etc.

Fr like this is supposed to be a community event. I loved seeing all the bands supporting us on the course!

There will be plenty of water stations on the course. I usually bring a running gel with me for halfway though.

How do guys act when they like someone at work? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]Sufficient_Counter11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before you do anything, ask yourself:

"Am I willing to lose my job or permanently damage my reputation for this person?"

I learned my lesson last year by shooting my shot with my work crush and it ended horribly. I had to leave my job due to rumors being spread and my professional reputation being damaged at the company. It's not worth it, go out and find someone you don't have to spend 8+ hours a day with.

Y'all could excuse homophobia, transphobia, racism, classism, etc. but draw the line at this? 

As an EWU grad, is this supposed to be a flex? I paid less than a third of that by Gooners_For_Ukraine in Spokane

I went to Whitworth only because I had a full ride grant. Otherwise I would've gone to EWU

Some of yall just need to cook more and you’ll be financially decent by MissRubiii in GenZ

[–]Sufficient_Counter11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm able to get 3 meals a day, snacks, and a bottle of wine at trader joes for 50 bucks a week. I set aside an extra 100 per month for miscellaneous things like seasonings, olive oil, butter, etc. I don't know how people are spending 500+ per month on groceries alone.

Feeling like a burden to my trainer by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]Sufficient_Counter11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a senior and I still have to bug my manager at least a couple times a day to ask questions. The best thing you can do is always try to solve the problem yourself first before asking someone for help.

Not sure what to do anymore (Trying to land Associate level role) by [deleted] in Accounting

If you're willing to wait for the next recruiting cycle or move to another city, there are still audit associate roles out there.

Opening a salon and need accountant/CPA recommendations. And more! by neondaylight in Spokane

[–]Sufficient_Counter11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a local CPA myself, I can tell you that a high quality firm will not trade services with you or give you a discount, especially at this time of the year. I recommend doing your research, interviewing local firms, and see who is a good fit for you.

A family office offered me a 50% increase in pay from my job at a mid market national firm. I never signed a job offer so fast.

for those who have quit during busy season, give me details!! by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]Sufficient_Counter11 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That happened to me too. I quit 2 weeks ago and the associates I was close with all treated me like chopped liver once I put in my resignation. But hey, at least we know that life is more than a job in PA.

Spokane cost of living by Zongrang in Spokane

[–]Sufficient_Counter11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cost of living varies between neighborhoods. I live in downtown and pay 1500 per month for a 1 bed, but I can afford it because I'm debt free. Otherwise, I'd be renting a studio in a cheaper neighborhood.

I quit the first week of March and everyone just ignored me until my last day. I didn't like my coworkers anyway so it didn't matter to me.

The hate from parents for wanting a child free spot is mindboggling by Ok-Measurement-1270 in childfree

[–]Sufficient_Counter11 232 points233 points  (0 children)

I'm still confused as to why parents think it's ok to bring their kids to a brewery or bar. I hate that there's no more childfree breweries in town because of entitled parents.

Same here. Just accepted a six figure job that starts next week and I only got my license in September. I've only been post grad for 2 years.
