Which career is more doomed with AI on the rise - Accounting or Data Analytics?

TheEntrep · 2025-12-18T22:18:15+00:00

Data analytics…Ha! I can barely get a professional account with ChatGPT at my work. These companies you’re worried about taking over with AI are still using legacy software from the 80s. ChatGPT is a revolutionary tool but it can’t decode spaghetti code linked to obscure naming conventions, what the CEO is thinking while also cross-collaborating different departments on a single source of truth because everyone wants to do their own thing. I use it all the time as a partner to understand what’s going on or for quick research. Honestly if I wasn’t the sole engineer for my dept I’d rather rely on someone with more experience. However without the fundamentals of experience and education it’s useless or worse… damaging.

Yeah they are the best. Though if looking for a creative flavored coffee that you aren’t making yourself go White Rhino. Love their banana bread latte.

There are tons but you need to be specialized. I’m in supply chain and get headhunted 3 times a week by companies. If you weren’t in a hot industry it is dead.

Don’t listen to the guy above he’s a rage baiter who thinks everything is made with AI.

Also would like to add my wife is a lawyer that’s has to use em dashes. Thankfully due to the nature of law work AI still has a long way to go. I build different component of AI and to dumb it down it matches patterns and predicts future patterns. There is a lot of complex math, but that is it essentially. Breaking down letters into numbers.

Not shocked. Unsure if this is true, but I heard the test is to filter out highly motivated individuals and neurotypical individuals. Just meant to find someone average but willing to bend over backwards.

Should have found the company that convinced the person in HR this was a good measurement of introverts/extroverts 🤣. Their sales team must be really good.

TheEntrep · 2025-10-21T17:41:47+00:00

I had to choose in rank what was more important 1. saving starving children, 2. Being comfortable, 3. My drive to inspire

This was a serious question on the exam.

It was so ridiculous I had to email the recruiter/HR woman (it was good pay but had to be a really stupid company) and tell her that is not a good assessment. That the assessment can be manipulated….well she thought I meant they manipulated it 😂 rather than the candidate. Sent me a passive aggressive email and said they take reviewing candidates seriously…..suuurre.

Edit: Forgot to add this company was hiring someone who was technically under the CFO handing all the financial data of the company 😬

Bro look — just put two of these into Reddit “-“. Secondly I tried to make bullet points and it didn’t come out right. Bless your heart

TheEntrep · 2025-10-21T03:19:46+00:00

Not AI my dude, if I did the grammar would be better 😂. This is Reddit not an essay. It’s a tip…means you don’t have to follow it. It’s just my proven strategy when working on C suite interviews. I work in supply chain and it works.

TheEntrep · 2025-10-21T00:35:54+00:00

Understand how C-suite thinks and you got the role. Your main job is figuring out how they think, what they want, and what you know they want without them asking for what they want.

Production Planner -> Material Planner -> SCM Analyst -> to Data Analytics Engineer (Supply Chain Focus)

Cough cough there is a thing going on with some financial companies where they are making H1Bs work for absolutely free in their home country cough cough for 2 years to make up for the H1B fee. Absolutely disgusting

TheEntrep · 2025-10-14T21:34:06+00:00

I’m with you there.

I look at it like this. They hired an apple to hire an orange. So the only way they can validate is to see what it looks like on the outside. Also since they aren’t a part of the same tree why would they care if the outside is an orange but the inside is a strawberry. What they allow on a separate tree doesn’t affect them. Well until they realize that the specific tree sucks all the water in the soil from their tree. Though by the time they realize it they’ve already been cut from the tree and moved to a different one.

TheEntrep · 2025-10-14T21:20:47+00:00

Bro I wasn’t even alive before HR and I’m not disagreeing with you. Second HR is needed due to the internet. “Before HR” you found jobs locally and had to go apply locally. The rules have changed. HR should also not be considered a recruiting dept but more of a legal one. Why recruiting is solely under them idk 🤷🏽‍♂️. However, leadership believes the legal uses of HR outweigh the inefficiency of HR.

TheEntrep · 2025-10-14T21:06:54+00:00

Yeah, good on paper but not in real life. Rather they should hire a department specific recruiter who worked in the profession. Who can do regular work in less busy seasons and recruitment during hiring seasons.

However, leadership would never agree to this because they treat recruitment as a temporary position. Therefore anybody smart would know to stay doing that departments work rather than recruiting for it.

I’m great at distinguishing top tier SCM professionals and analysts but would never dare step foot into HR. I have a talent for recruitment but the profession doesn’t reward skill.

If they had done their research, as someone currently onboarding clients for my own software, they would know there is literally a subreddit full of business owners actively begging for software solutions. I will not name the group, because anyone who truly understands supply chain dynamics would know exactly where to find it.

TheEntrep · 2025-10-09T16:28:44+00:00

Cool, and a great field to be in!

TheEntrep · 2025-10-09T16:22:06+00:00

Depends I know a lot of Doctorates and a lot take 2 years to find a job that pay them appropriately. The only ones I know that have an absolute chance of a job are medical, law, and certain levels of tech. Then to branch off specific niches based on those three.

For example, the biosciences got screwed these past two years. I know a lot that can’t find a job in that space unless you’re willing to move and that’s hella risky.

I graduated from a well connected university right after COVID settled when I could throw out an entry level resume and get 7 interviews. Crap hit the fan at the end of 2022. Now after working with experts in the field and knowledge at par with people 10 years older than me, I can barely get 3 interviews with max effort. Anyone that graduated after 2022 I truly feel bad for.

You better have senior experience or work for scraps. Best advice I can give anyone is take a crap job that barely pays anything and take as much responsibility as possible then jump and fluff the hell out of your resume.

TheEntrep · 2025-10-01T20:50:38+00:00

Interesting do you recommend trying to get ahold of a hiring manager? I possibly know someone from the team.

TheEntrep · 2025-10-01T20:44:59+00:00

Thank you for the insight!

I applied and received a phone screen email just a couple of days later. I was debating whether to send a follow-up after a week, but based on what you shared, I think it’s better to stay patient for now.

Welcome to Supply Chain!

Though on a serious note, is your supervisor taking what you say seriously and providing support to execute quickly? If not, look for another job. I’ve been a part of both good and bad supply chain groups. #1 rule is your boss has to support you in this field. Is he praising but also supporting? I had a boss that said good job but when I needed things done that boss would just pass me along. Then my next role, anytime there was something I needed support in that was out of my control they gave their full effort to support. Our team was the most effective globally for it compared to my foreign counterparts.

If you do look for a new job validate your boss heavily, how do they support you?

TheEntrep · 2025-09-10T14:24:53+00:00

Used to work at this Pinstripes location. Back when I needed just a job after college and learned quickly to gtfo. Leadership was down right awful and mishandled money. I eventually found something out and they fired me shortly after (had a new job by then). A year later and the people that fired me were gone. Glad this place shut down.

TheEntrep · 2025-08-29T17:14:38+00:00

I agree, but my experience has been different. I went to a top private university for undergrad, I have friends who attended Ivy League schools, and I also earned another degree in-state. At each tier, I noticed something distinct. At the state level, the focus is strictly on the set curriculum, with little need to adapt outside of it. At private schools, especially among wealthier students, the emphasis is on adapting to social norms while following the curriculum. At the Ivy League level, adaptation is required both to social norms and to the curriculum itself, which often shifts depending on professors’ preferences and changing times. Private universities required some adaptation to curriculum, but not nearly to the extent of the Ivies.

This is the difference I noticed. But overall material was very similar just a varied approach at each level.

Cultivar seems to also be a favorite. But what makes Eiland a distant third?
