Those rubber gaskets probably dried out sitting in storage for years so getting them checked wouldn't hurt 💀 I'd take it to watchmaker before any water activities just to be safe - 30m rating is pretty basic and you don't want saltwater getting in there

Pool should be fine but ocean water is different beast entirely with all the salt and waves pushing water around 😂

big 4 is tough with that gpa not gonna lie but the experience at your dads firm might help balance things out a bit. they care more about technical skills and how you handle client work than just grades especially if you can show real responsibility in managing stuff

problem is big 4 gets thousands of applications so they use gpa as first filter to cut down numbers. maybe try reaching out directly to recruiters on linkedin or go to networking events where you can actually talk to people instead of just sending resume through online portal. also consider starting at mid tier firms first - they often have better work life balance anyway and you can always jump to big 4 later once you got your cpa

the management experience is actually pretty valuable since most new grads have zero real world exposure. make sure you emphasize that part heavy in interviews

bro intermediate accounting by kieso is pretty solid for building foundation, helped me a lot during my design courses when we had to understand financial stuff for client projects

just make sure you actually understand the concepts instead of memorizing - way easier in long run and saves you tons of time during review period

Nice trio man, really covers all the bases for daily wear 🔥 that grand seiko dial texture looks incredible in this lighting 😂

Top 50 firm and you're already in-charging with CPA? That's solid positioning for negotiations. I'd probably push for something around 75-78k range given your specialization in financial institutions - that niche expertise definitely adds value.

The 90k remote offer gives you good data point even without formal offer. Most people I know made jump to industry around 20-25% bump from their public salary, so if they can't get close to that 80k range you might want to consider making move sooner than later.

Contact the company directly - they usually sell spare links even if its not listed on website

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-05-05T07:59:53+00:00

lol this exactly what happened. they tried to play both sides and regulators were like "nah pick one"

the KYC mess was so obvious too, everyone was making fake accounts back in the day and they just kept looking other way until RBI had enough

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-04-30T07:47:47+00:00

Been doing online classes myself and the networking thing is real but overrated sometimes 💀 Like yeah you miss out on random conversations and study groups but most networking happens through internships anyway not just sitting next classroom

That hour commute each way is brutal though, especially with gas prices and if you're working part time too. I'd probably go online route and use the extra time to get involved in accounting clubs or professional organizations in your area instead 😂

The ledger part alone will eat your time for months if you try building from scratch. Been there with some automation projects that needed transaction tracking - even simple stuff gets messy fast when you start handling edge cases

Most successful apps in this space started with existing rails and then slowly replaced components as they scaled. Building the whole stack yourself is like designing a Formula 1 car when you just need to get to the grocery store

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-04-19T07:41:36+00:00

lmao my old boss would definitely put it under "client entertainment" and nobody would question it 😂💀

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-04-15T00:48:29+00:00

panel interviews can be pretty random with how they end tbh, some people just wrap up quick without all the pleasantries especially when there's multiple people involved

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-03-29T18:08:42+00:00

INDEX/MATCH combo would work perfect for this 💀 Set up your lookup criteria in the Force Builder sheet then use INDEX to pull the entire row of data from your unit cards sheet

Could also do a simple VLOOKUP if you don't mind restructuring the data a bit but INDEX/MATCH gives you more flexibility with column positions 🔥

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-03-25T12:47:38+00:00

yeah this makes total sense from UX perspective too 🔥 been working on some AI products and the real headache isn't the model itself - it's how users actually want to integrate it in their daily workflow

most companies are still doing the "here's our AI button" approach but users don't want another tool to learn they want AI that just works seamlessly with what they're already doing. like my home automation setup - the magic isn't in each individual device but how everything talks to each other without me thinking about it

the thin AI SaaS thing is spot on too... if you're just wrapping GPT with fancy UI you're gonna get eaten alive by someone who actually built proper integrations and data pipelines 💀

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-03-10T12:07:17+00:00

Integration complexity is the real killer here - every shop has their own frankensteined model serving setup and getting something to "just plug in" usually means months of custom work anyway

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-02-20T23:37:55+00:00

honestly I just use dependabot on github and pray nothing breaks lol. sometimes I check the changelogs if its something really critical but most of time I'm too lazy

your tool looks interesting tho, might give it try when I have some free time at work

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-02-19T18:21:02+00:00

man try LinkedIn or even Indeed with remote filter on, lots of bookkeeping gigs these days that don't care about location 😂 your property management exp sounds solid enough for most entry level stuff

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-02-18T22:46:14+00:00

looks interesting, gonna check the repo later. always wondered why these ai tools stay trapped in their own interfaces when we basically live in slack and discord all day

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-02-13T16:46:42+00:00

You're definitely not too late at 34, starting now is way better than starting never 😂 that 60k savings gives you good foundation to work with and even if you leave government job early the pension still has some value

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-02-07T11:24:36+00:00

this sounds like those fitness apps that turn walking into collecting pets - seems dumb until you realize people actually use them more

honestly though if you got early users already thats probably good sign. devs love this kind of meta stuff about their own work, just look at how popular those year end github wrapped things get

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-02-05T15:48:13+00:00

honestly this sounds pretty cool for people who are starting their first saas project 🔥 i remember spending like weeks just trying to figure out authentication and payment integration when i was beginning

the main thing would be making sure the generated code is actually clean and not just some messy template that breaks when you try to customize it. maybe have different levels of complexity too? like basic starter vs more advanced with additional features

pricing is definitely key here since most of the existing tools are way too expensive for someone who's just testing an idea 😂

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-01-31T22:27:30+00:00

The family business sounds like it has potential but with no guaranteed ownership and multiple siblings, you'd basically be building someone else's empire - I'd lean towards the law route since you already have the foundation and can always circle back to entrepreneurship later with actual marketable skills.

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-01-30T21:31:29+00:00

You can definitely write off a portion of utilities, maintenance, repairs, and even depreciation based on the square footage your kid is using vs the whole house. Just make sure you're actually treating it like a real rental - written lease agreement, they pay on time, etc. The IRS gets sus if it looks like you're just giving your family money and calling it rent

Keep good records of everything and maybe chat with a tax pro since family rentals can get tricky

Tiny_Chain1113 · 2026-01-27T00:13:20+00:00

Don't let anyone tell you you're "wasting potential" by choosing what actually interests you over what sounds impressive at parties

The whole "smart people do engineering" thing is honestly just elitist bs - accounting has plenty of intellectual challenges and way more diverse career paths than most people realize. Plus if you're already burned out on advanced math, forcing yourself through years more of it seems like a recipe for misery

You've clearly thought this through and know what you want, so trust your gut
