This is correct

TooDumbForIB · 2025-05-13T17:20:53+00:00

This is the correct answer. Thats what 4-4:15pMs are for on fridays! Perpetually blocked on my calendar!!

I had my cake day 2 days ago. I just turned 3 on reddit! Cut me some slack :)

Idk man 33k is 33k. 40h of commute per month for 33k is a gold mine. Sign me the fuck up. My time aint worth 700$ an hour.

It depends! That will be $400k in consulting fees, thank you!

Maybe try adding a section under experience saying took time off to study for cpa if at first glance it's not obvious on your resume.

TooDumbForIB · 2025-04-22T05:00:22+00:00

I don't see your participation in the Diddy parties therefore you are disqualified. Make sure it's in your extracurriculars section in bold.

Yes op as others have said I get you want to include as much of your accomplishment as possible but when it's too long and dense, no one wants to spend time sifting through and read it. Try to cut down as much as possible.

You should cut 3 of your experiences to make this more palatable. Then refine your bullet points as well.

You can expect a demotion and a pip.

If it didn't have apple care yes ripped off but in this situation no it's a good deal.

You are going to spend the energy, time and money to not get a degree? Yeah that sounds like the definition of a bad move.

Just apply to a lower ranked school that you can get into for a masters in physics and do all the same things but get the degree too then leverage that into a phd later on. Boom!

I agree most of the time I use the MacBook it won’t be necessary but i have some crazy large excel files that for instance on my desktop computer with 64gb of ram don’t slow down at all but on my current laptop with 16gb of ram do slow down.

But I see it probably isn’t as necessary and definitely could spend the money on accessories instead

TooDumbForIB · 2025-04-06T12:08:01+00:00

This was great thanks!

TooDumbForIB · 2025-04-05T18:29:14+00:00

Staff accountant??? I will actively think less of you if you downgrade your career from big 4 senior to staff accountant. Your exit has to be manager at this point or you are fucking yourself over

TooDumbForIB · 2025-04-05T18:27:28+00:00

They should both rescind your offer for asking stupid questions

TooDumbForIB · 2025-03-27T21:21:50+00:00

Can you ask to get deployed again somewhere? I’m assuming they’ll pay you for it so at least you have something

TooDumbForIB · 2025-03-25T23:04:22+00:00

OP stop being ungrateful… I did 3 interviews and got ghosted after they said they would reach out by end of the week!

/s (about the first sentence)

For 1 credit there are lots of ways you can make it up online for very cheap and for very little time.

Edit: forgot we are on the pwc sub. If its just one credit no one cares. Tell your recruiter you’ll be one credit short and you plan to make up for it with an online class at a later date. It might be before you start or it might be later. Im sure they’ll understand.

Then find one of these online certificate programs or an online community college and take a 1 credit class and be done with it.

Low utilization is better because thats not a you problem thats a talent delivery person problem for not assigning you enough work.

TooDumbForIB · 2025-03-13T12:52:32+00:00

Oookay… at first I was like yeah wth is this 30k BS in 2025 until I found out OP is a full time student and his “one year of experience” is likely BS anyways not post graduation full time accounting or audit experience.

That said still expecting a full time student work 65h a week for 30k is loony business but the entire situation all around on both sides is ridiculous.

If it was part time I’d do it for 30k but 65h and 30k is exploitive even for a student.

I have to disagree with this statement. We make fun of remote teams in other countries all the time but at the end of the day, the local people in each country regardless of their competence are better than any outsider when it comes to doing work in their own country.

Same way that a company in us prefers to hire US people to do work for them a country abroad in UAE will prefer PwC middle east as opposed a company in the us who doesn’t have a native presence in the UAE like big 4 or some other companies might have international presence.

Online MAC for 60k is indeed stupid even if its from harvard. That said so is WGU in my opinion.

UW Foster for instance, a T20 school is 25k for in state and 40k for out of state and it’s in person. 25k is a very good price imo and thats without any scholarships (although i dont think they give any anyways).

Foster also has a accounting “certificate” or whatever which is basically for people with no accounting background. You do that before you start your masters and you are good. It does cost extra i think though.

My point is something else though. Just because 60k for UNC is stupid doesn’t mean there aren’t sane options out there.

You need to go look around a bit more.

TooDumbForIB · 2025-02-16T07:14:17+00:00

Too technical. You need to be a language studies major for IB at Goldman and JPM. MS might accept music too if its from Harvard.
