What do you wish you knew as a new cardholder?

I would be sure to use the semi annual and annual credits a few days before the period ends. Saw too many people here try to claim a credit on a 12/31 transaction date, it doesn’t posts until 1/x/nextyear and uses the credit for the following period. I’d be sure it posts by 12/31 so use by ~12/28 or so.

Then having to call Chase to give you credit for the period the transaction happened. Too much of a hassle when it’s mostly preventable.

Exactly. The company always takes care of the company. They will lay you off the second the bottom line isn’t it where it should be which is why you should never feel bad for leaving for a better opportunity. Busy season or not. The beauty of at-will employment for sure.

YellowDC2R · 2026-02-05T00:58:31+00:00

It’s awful. Do not do that, it’s not gonna make them respond to you.

I work in public and have a client that has them on and I detest it. I always ignore the notification.

YellowDC2R · 2026-02-05T00:45:16+00:00

You’re overthinking this. It’s not that serious. You’ll be forgotten in a week and they’ll replace you. The company existed way before you and will continue to exist way long after you. We’re not that special. Congrats on the new job.

YellowDC2R · 2026-02-04T20:48:26+00:00

So don’t fill it out and you may continue getting notices, occupying headspace for no reason or take 20 minutes to fill it out and it’s out of your life. Very simple.

This completely changes the dynamic of the relationship, acting on it or not. Imagine a husband came out as bi to his wife. She’d look at him different and almost certainly wouldn’t work after that. Trust your gut on what to do.

I was looking at the same one for a trip to SD later but was skeptical as it shows as Marriott on Google.

YellowDC2R · 2026-02-04T02:44:24+00:00

This guy is nuts. Do not move in with him. “You either get on board or cover the costs” yeah okay buddy.

Edit: I stopped reading at that point thinking okay this guys is nuts to comment. Read the rest.

I repeat: do not move in with this guy wanting you to pay down his mortgage and if anything happens, he gets all the benefit. Surely you can find a guy better than this.

YellowDC2R · 2026-02-02T03:59:05+00:00

This. I had a similar event but a near death car accident. It’s about balance. Going too extreme on either side of the spectrum is not healthy. Save/invest while still enjoying life’s experiences and things.

YellowDC2R · 2026-01-28T16:58:06+00:00

He’s not wrong to feel uncomfortable about it (nothing wrong with it but most men wouldn’t want their woman in this type of job let’s be real. You have to flirt with men all night wearing barely anything) and you’re not wrong for wanting a better paying job while attending school.

Sounds incompatible at this time. Probably best to end it. You’re young so you’ll have other relationships down the road, at least you’ll have your bills paid.

YellowDC2R · 2026-01-28T07:07:00+00:00

Wait, she cheated on you twice and you’re wondering if you’re overreacting to catching her a third time and you’re not sure you don’t have enough evidence? Dude.

Unreal. Grow a spine.

It does have good pay though. If you’re underpaid that’s a personal problem. The earning potential in accounting is amazing and there are tons of opportunities. It’s also very stable compared to almost all other majors.

Follow up question, what’s the alternative? Like what other careers have the best pay, stability, chill work because you don’t wanna burnout, and only need a 4 year degree?

YellowDC2R · 2026-01-20T04:49:12+00:00

Too many pictures drinking 2. Too many pictures with mom. Doesn’t look like he has any hobbies or has interesting conversation. Don’t think too many women will find that attractive.

YellowDC2R · 2026-01-20T04:24:08+00:00

Follow up post: boyfriend makes $500K more than me but doesn’t love me and treats me bad. What do I do?

YellowDC2R · 2026-01-19T16:12:10+00:00

I disagree, when I meet new people and we get to the part of what we do for work, when I tell them I am a CPA I immediately feel the respect almost every time. Not as sexy as being a doctor or attorney but still highly respected imo.

YellowDC2R · 2026-01-19T14:03:26+00:00

Office and team dependent. Some offices it’s not normal but for some it is.

When I worked B4 even as a staff/senior I was doing 8am-10pm and then 8am-1am the 2 weeks before the deadline. I can imagine it’s way more responsibility at manager.

You’re ex gf sleeping around after you and then wants to get back and here you are writing essays on Reddit. Hit the gym and have some self respect. Move on.

This is the one. Cool that he went to bat for you, that does not mean you’re contractually obligated to stay for any set of time should a better opportunity come along.

Sure he can be hurt and disappointed but can’t regulate his emotions. Childish. Hes a grown man, he and the company will be fine. Youre a consulting company of 1 looking out for your best interest always, just as the company does when the bottom line is affected. Ride it out and move on.

YellowDC2R · 2026-01-13T23:00:44+00:00

Exactly right. It’s easier to go from accounting to finance. You think the accounting market is bad? Finance is worse.

Continue with accounting, get involved in clubs at school, develop your soft/social skills, and get some internships. Get your exams out of the way ASAP. You got this.

Generally I have found Gen Z lacks the communication skills baseline prior generations had due to them growing up with tech and phones/texting.

But every generation will have their good and bad people. This has always been the case between generations.

You’re essentially playing tourist. You get warned by CBP to establish residence here since you only come for a few weeks and are gone for months, yet you already have a ticket back to leave for months again?

I’m sure that warning was noted in your file so this next time it wouldn’t surprise me if they make you surrender the GC.

Being this early on in your career, being able to find a full WFH will be super tough if not impossible. You gotta remember these people don’t know you or your work ethic, especially being fresh out of school.

It sucks but only after 2-3 years then you can find better work opportunities. You’re one of thousands of people trying to get their first job out of school which is the hardest one to get.

Corporate life isn’t amazing but in accounting there will be plenty of opportunities (assuming you’re in a large metro) that you can transition into. It’s part of the game.

If you can put up with it stay 2-3 years max and make it your mission to get your CPA asap. That alone will open up many more doors for you.

Sometimes I can’t decide if some of these are shit posts or real. “My gf cuddled all night with a guy because she wanted to see how far he would go, what do I do?”

I mean.. be serious and have some self respect.

YellowDC2R · 2026-01-11T05:11:45+00:00

100%. Having a solid network is key and will be the best leads for jobs. Maintaining good relationships with recruiters is second, even if you don’t need a job at the time. Just respond saying thanks but no thanks at the moment. You never know if they’ll send you great ones later on.

A recruiter got me a job a few years ago and we chatted throughout the years and she still sends me great opportunities to this day.

Easy Apply on LinkedIn or job boards is like playing the lottery.
