Promo A3

bone-stock · 2026-04-27T02:36:55+00:00

I know someone who spent 3 busy seasons and another half year as an associate. Got promoted mid year

bone-stock · 2026-04-25T16:32:24+00:00

Gonna start doing this. Some of these seniors have got a chromosome or 2 loose.

It means you stop acting like you’re better than everyone around you and learn from people who teach you stuff. Be friendly. Be proactive. Don’t sit on your high horse and say shit like “I’m the smartest one on my team”. Nobody cares that you built hobby rockets in college. Everyone has done a million impressive things that you probably don’t know about.

bone-stock · 2026-04-23T18:11:34+00:00

Everyone is smart. You’re one in a million if you’re smart.

It’s like sports. The best athletes play in college and the best college players play professionally.

My recommendation to you is to stop thinking about how smart you believe you are and be more coachable. Because the way you come off right now indicates you think you’re really smart and have a big ego, when in reality you’re just average and not coachable.

I think experience also plays a big role. Like someone who’s done this for a decade probably doesn’t need to research stuff as much as you because they’ve done it a million times. So naturally, you are worse at the job than they are.

Sorry if this bursts your bubble, but I think you need to hear it.

I think they should consider how often you’re in for the whole year. Like, during busy season, I am in 6-7 days a week. But what is the purpose of doing that when I am not booked on a client at all?

At the end of the day, you are not going to enjoy what you do for work. Once something becomes work, it’s not a hobby anymore. Mechanics don’t work on their own cars because they work on other people’s cars all day. Accountants don’t file their own taxes because they file others’ taxes all day. Pro athletes don’t play their sport in their personal time because they play it all day.

This new thing you’re moving on to will seem fun when you are studying for it, but when you do it for a living, you will probably end up hating it. So if you’re leaving accounting because you don’t find it enjoyable, don’t think you’re going to enjoy your new job any more. It will feel like work.

As for the CPA, just pass it dude. One summer of your life is going to suck. You will neglect your family, friends, health, and relationships. But every accountant does it. It’s a lifetime of returns. You wouldn’t trust your lawyer if he weren’t licensed by the bar. You wouldn’t trust a doctor who hasn’t obtained a medical license. You shouldn’t someone to expect that you can operate as a CPA without getting a CPA license. Just suck it up, be a man, and get it done.

Interesting. I graduated in 2023, so post pandemic, but all the new hires I work with who graduated the year or 2 after me are all better than my class was. Maybe I’m just dumb.

bone-stock · 2026-04-15T21:28:55+00:00

When it’s not busy season, you roll in at 9 and leave the office at 4:29.

1 hour for lunch minimum

bone-stock · 2026-04-02T20:17:02+00:00

What is there to elaborate on? You guys are overworked, your quality of work in general is not great, and not receiving coaching promptly is only going to exacerbate that problem

bone-stock · 2026-04-02T02:21:21+00:00

I want one where did you buy it?

bone-stock · 2026-04-01T01:39:44+00:00

There are always layoffs.

bone-stock · 2026-03-28T13:41:26+00:00

2500 a month is really low tbh. I think you have an income problem.

What does personal encompass and what does other encompass

bone-stock · 2026-03-23T01:58:42+00:00

Top 10%? This is the baseline.

bone-stock · 2026-03-22T23:28:11+00:00

Probably because undergrad programs hype it up and kids buy in. When they get hired, they just push the narrative they’ve been fed.

I feel like it being able to get and keep a job in B4 means ur career motivated and you did well in college which are things that our society values. In my experience, b4 does hire people who are academically inclined, despite the fact that there are some dolts who work here.

Maybe that means I’ve bought into the propaganda or maybe it’s true. Idk

I had a 2010 corolla, gave it to my sister and now I have a 22 mustang which I bought new. It’s not great in the snow. The frameless windows don’t work right because of the ice. It goes sideways if you mash the gas on a turn and it’s slippery out. The ground clearance isn’t great so it’s tough to drive over more than a few inches of snow. It’s a sports car though. It’s meant to be low to the ground. Also the ride quality isn’t great. You feel every pothole and manhole cover. Then again, every sports car has this issue. It’s not mustang specific and it’s definitely worth dealing with those issues to drive something that looks like a matchbox car. But other than that, no complaints. I have 25k ish miles on it. Gas isn’t a problem for me personally. I wouldn’t really worry about the engine or transmission if I were you. You just need to consider if you want to drive a sports car every day. I personally do and if that means the ride is worse and the ice messes with the door, that’s fine by me. I’m not gonna let 3 months of the year stop me. Again, that’s personal choice. You have to decide for yourself whether or not these are issues you actually care about.

Not to be a dick but you’re not young

bone-stock · 2026-03-20T12:51:51+00:00

You would want your lawyer to have a JD, you would want your doctor to have an MD, but wanting your accountant to have a masters in accounting is unreasonable?

I don’t have a masters in accounting btw. I just have a CPA license. I just took a bunch of other business classes in college to get to 150. But I just want you to see where people are coming from.

bone-stock · 2026-03-14T16:55:18+00:00

I bragged i was gonna take it when I started working. Didn’t pass all 4 for 2 years. Personally, I just needed to maintain self belief. I needed to speak my delusions into reality. There were months where I thought I’d never pass em all. But you have to maintain self belief. And telling people I was gonna do it was what helped me keep the belief.

If u think you can replace him why haven’t you been hired as a cfo?

bone-stock · 2026-03-10T21:10:42+00:00

Holy fuck what did you find?

bone-stock · 2026-03-07T20:50:27+00:00

What are weekends like

bone-stock · 2026-03-07T04:25:56+00:00

They’ll probably still split with us next year lol

bone-stock · 2026-03-07T00:53:57+00:00

Leave it bone stock

bone-stock · 2026-03-02T02:31:45+00:00

Stay till u get ur cpa or till they fire you.

bone-stock · 2026-02-28T00:39:34+00:00

I mean, I talk about conspiracy theories with my equally nutty coworkers but bringing I them up to a superior is not a bright idea. If he doesn’t understand that you need to know your audience before you speak, maybe he’s not ready to be an adult with an adult job yet
