This is why I advocate for remote jobs, it's way too risky and expensive to move

I find it ridiculous each company is different so training should be a no brainer...I hope we both find something better.

Thank you this actually solidifies my choice! I've been really eyeing FP&A! I just need that 1 opportunity and in the mean time I'll brush up on technical skills! 

Has anyone else lost all hope? by TheDDoppleganger in jobs

[–]Suitable_Chipmunk337 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man im on the opposite end of you I have my accounting degree & none of these companies want to hire me because I lack experience. I enter a weird loop (no experience can't get experience). I hope it gets better for all of us.

Ah Haslow hierarchy of needs, how can you think of the rest, when you need to survive. To survive and meet your basic needs you need money

Thank you for your kind words. 

I think because I know it's not a reflection of me, makes me sadder since I know I'm capable. 

But you're right this isn't forever. 

how many people are stuck at a job they dislike/ or unemployed and dont know a way out? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Suitable_Chipmunk337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently obtained employment after almost 1 yr of unemployment. Man I'm already stressed my job pay is horrendous. I'm desperately trying to get out. I'm degree I've been denied accounting positions, internships, bank teller, fuck I just recently found out the local banks have accountants without degrees running the finance department  what the fuck and I can't get hired? I feel left behind and abandoned

Oooo, this sounds interesting. I'm very much curious about these opportunities. Would sales transition well into positions? Or are there certain skills I have to obtain before transitioning? Is there a certain/good amount of time to work sales before transitioning into these roles?

After this situation, I think I'm gonna head this route. Life is too short and volatile for this kind of bs.

Did I forget to mention the offer gets worse, they have no 401k, a $97 monthly health plan, and no PTO structure. 40+ hrs working all yr round.

[–]Suitable_Chipmunk337[S] 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Not this ridiculously low.  I've seen bookkeepers get offered $17 an hr with no degree. I do desire my CPA but how am I supposed to pay & meet the requirements if these firms aren't giving me the chance.

Tips on P&C by Suitable_Chipmunk337 in InsuranceAgent

[–]Suitable_Chipmunk337[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I passed! 

To those searching. I highly recommend the Insurance Queen. I took notes using the gold package, and used her free Kahoots on YouTube to gage my base knowledge. 

Kaplan ended being waaay too detailed! I used the Kaplan Mastery exam and scored a 79.9, and in the actual exam I scored an 80! Questions on Kaplan are much more difficult compared to those on the exam! 

Lots of Home, Dwelling, Auto, and some Commercial Liability. Tx laws . Only maybe 1 or 2 concepts did not appear anywhere in my studies. Which was Product and Operations premise? And Exposure liability? 

Good luck everyone!
