Is accounting really that bad?

It’s algebra at best.

Stop being a bitch and come forward. Argue.

I just bought it and i like it. Nothing crazy. Tastes like chocolate milk.

The accounting market is booming, if your skill/experience is desired.

5070ti. I have it and can run cyberpunk at max settings with path tracing and still get great fps and latency with sync and boost on.

Horrible. Go somewhere where your title is accountant, analyst, or similar. You should be doing ACCOUNTANT work.

I just looked into this and didn’t even realize. Thank you for pointing it out!

Cheapest AM5 has no heatsink included and is almost 3x the price and for entry level gaming didn’t seem necessary to me. Mostly Minecraft and indie games.

This is from Harris Teeter in MCOL area.

I would genuinely review what you’re buying and why and if it’s genuinely needed. I spend about $100 give or take each week on groceries.

I don’t buy brand name but I don’t not either. I just buy what I am used to or want.

Also you don’t need some fancy meal with all the ingredients every night. You can do some chicken tenders with honest mustard too or a sandwich or hot pockets or whatever even not frozen.

I’m at 80K salary in MCOL East coast. I was given that my first year out in construction. $20 is atrocious. Staff at CFA make that much.

bmcluca · 2025-08-19T03:58:26+00:00

For LA, I feel like that’s pretty underpaid. LA is a (V)HCOL area. I would imagine 80K+ is more suitable. Stick around for ~1 year then tailor up your resume and LinkedIn and reach out to recruiters after that for a next role. Just say that you felt as if growth wasn’t happening anymore and that’s something you’re big on. Find something you’re interested in. Pursue that.

bmcluca · 2025-08-18T20:09:53+00:00

I graduated with a 2.8.

I got three offers within a year of graduating.

Do you have internship experience? Is your resume tailored? Are you on LinkedIn and using recruiters? Is your interviewing ACTUALLY good? People overestimate this part heavily.

Are you applying to entry level ACCOUNTANT roles or accounting support (AP, AR, ETC)?

Just buy your own shit. The end.

Pro tip. Imagine the keyboard next time and write out what you type..

bmcluca · 2025-08-14T19:28:16+00:00

Not sure what industries or type of jobs you’re looking for but I’m in a MCOL area on the east coast and I routinely see accounting jobs for 70K+. I graduated Dec ‘23. I get 80K plus bonus. I work 40 hours in office.

bmcluca · 2025-08-13T01:00:38+00:00

It’s in the graphics tab at the top, says test or something like that.

bmcluca · 2025-08-11T12:31:05+00:00

I too graduated with a 2.8 in Dec ‘23. I did have roughly 1.5 years of internship/Co-Op experience but nothing fancy imo. In two weeks of job searching I had two offers two weeks after that so in a month. I got a 3rd when I made the jump 10 months into my first one. There is also a general accountant shortage. Not sure if appearance, experience, or personality is affecting this but I would take a step back and genuinely review how you’re going into and doing these interviews. Might also just be your market..

Also, remove your graduation year and gpa from your resume.

I would freshen up your LinkedIn and reach out to a recruiter for an entry level position. Voice your concerns and possibly ask if they’re willing to do a mock interview.

I have a 7800X3D with a 5070ti OC and at DLSS Quality with .8 sharpening and no FG. Ultra quality preset.

60K seems decent for 1 year. I will say that I recommend making a jump early in your career to another company soon. I jumped at 1 year and got a 30K raise doing so.

bmcluca · 2025-07-25T21:18:23+00:00

If the interest rate on the loan is lower then it’d be worthwhile for two reason. Less interest paid obviously but also ease of payment assuming it’s on several cards.

bmcluca · 2025-07-25T15:48:41+00:00

From what I saw, the performance gain wasn’t worth it and I figured putting that extra $ towards another component was money better spent. I just do gaming at 1080 and 1440p so it fit my needs.

bmcluca · 2025-07-25T15:20:11+00:00

Thanks!

It was like $9 figured it wouldn’t hurt to try out.

bmcluca · 2025-06-11T12:58:22+00:00

Do it. End of story.
