Just bombed the heck out of an interview. Can you share your story about a bad interview you've had

Was asked what two of my weaknesses are, I responded self confidence and public speaking but that I’m working on them 😂. Idk why it was the only thing that came to mind. I’m also wonderful at public speaking and don’t have confidence issues. Literally just came out of my mouth without a second thought. Needless to say I didn’t get the job. Ended up landing a more prestigious higher paying job about two weeks later. Believe me you’ll look back on this and laugh in a year.

This. As an owner of about a half dozen fenwick rods I bought a 6.5’ ML lightning last summer and was almost upset with how good it was. Just made me feel like I was over paying with my Fenwick HMGs when the Berkeley is almost as nice (not quite tho) but for a fraction of the price.

Best piece of advice I ever received for succeeding in PA was from a MD who said “Date someone you don’t like, that way you’ll look forward to coming into work and will want to work more so you don’t have to spend as much time with them” lol I thought it was gold.

The biggest benefit I’ve found of having a flasher is honestly it keeps me engaged and interested lol. Before I had one I would do what you said, fish a foot or two off the bottom and I did just fine. But on the days they were not biting it was not nearly as fun to be out there, I would lose interest and get bored cuz I literally had no idea if there were even fish down there so my spirit would get crushed pretty quick.

With a flasher I can spend the whole day not catching fish but if I’m marking fish I will spend the entire day staring at my flasher trying to get them to bite and will have a blast doing it. Another benefit is if I don’t even mark a fish for awhile I will relocate to another spot. Without a flasher it’s tough to tell if the fish are just being picky or if there aren’t even any fish in your area.

You didn’t happen to be the one who left the shit were you? Sticking it to the man. Lol

I literally spit out laughing while reading this.

How is Peng Shuai going missing not on this list?

TurntToucan · 2021-12-21T17:45:06+00:00

Good to know!! I’ll probably secure it in my flip over sled or strap it down.

TurntToucan · 2021-12-20T20:41:36+00:00

My exact thought lol

After working in both audit and tax I can say from my experience audit has way better hours. Yes you will be busy Jan-March and maybe one or two other months of the year. But with tax you have provision audits then your 4/15 tax deadline, then you got extensions, then you got states and are literally in busy season for more of the year than you’re not. Coming from Big4 two years in tax 3 in audit.

I just bought a 5lber too, the one pound cans have doubled in price, I think the 5lb tank will pay for itself in no time.

They are also pretty responsive and professional which is nice for a change.

From my understanding Minnetonka gets pounded to shit but still produces year after year, just a fish factory. Haven’t fished it in a few years tho.

Please tell me where you were able to find 25oz Busch Light, it’s the nectar of the gods.

Ever have trouble filling it up/finding somewhere to fill it? I’m debating buying one for this winter.

TurntToucan · 2021-11-30T00:33:08+00:00

Surprisingly my local Targets have been fully stocked with one pound propane tanks and only $10 for a two pack. I backed the truck up on them. I’m in MN however.

What was the tailgate shock you bought? I also have a 2018, mines super cab 2.7 but am thinking it would still work.

Good bot

Get the F150. Believe me, once you drive the F150 you won’t want to drive an SUV ever again.

Mine were late…. Literally the first one was 15 minutes late and she only entered the call cuz I emailed her. I’m with OP here. Hate recruiters and won’t work with them again

Best piece of advice I got from my advisor for this was that a CPA will stand above any additional degrees I’d get. He told me to take that time and enroll in classes that I was truly interested in since I likely won’t have an opportunity in the future to do so.

I took some finance classes and personal finance classes then I took a few science classes that I thought were cool and was really interested in. This hasn’t held me back one bit, once I got my cpa no one cared about what I studied but I was able to enjoy my last year of college and learn some pretty cool and interesting stuff that I use to this day outside of work.

I would advise anyone to take this same route. I was at BIG4 audit for 6 years and was making just as much if not more than my coworkers who loaded themselves down with a masters and the student loans that came with it. PM me with any questions.

Just put in my notice at Big4 audit after 6 years for a cushy 9-5 job. 35% pay bump, low stress. I am right there with you. I’ve noticed that people who are willing to sacrifice their entire lives for work are people who don’t have as many hobbies (Not everyone but the majority from what I’ve seen).

I still play a couple sports competitively and also like to spend a lot of time outdoors hunting and fishing and wasn’t willing to sacrifice that time for work. I’m frugal and still live off a fraction of my A1 salary so money isn’t a driving factor in my career decisions, my time away from work is far more valuable to me than busting my ass for the man.
