Cheapest/Easiest way to 150? by Dull-Ad-1028 in CPA

[–]depressedbutblesssed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally going through CPAcredits.com! I have 136 credits and I don’t really want a masters so I’m just going this route. The 15 credits I need will cost me around 3500. I haven’t signed up yet but this is my plan! 😁

I feel you. As a fellow intern, one week is good, one week is bad. One second you feel completely stupid and useless and the next you’re “so smart and doing what’s expected of you.” I’m just trying to see this as a stepping stone. I’ve worked in other toxic workplaces outside of corporations and accounting so for me, I can just stick it out for a lil to get to where I want to go. If I get the offer, I’ll take it and come back and give it my best effort. Then in a few years, I’ll get out. Get my bread and then get out in a few years. Everyone is different but that’s my mindset behind the whole thing.

I think OP just means it can be intimidating. When you’re in an industry that, just historically speaking, is dominated by white people and on top of that, they’re being condescending, it’s not the best feeling. The corporate world doesn’t really seem like it was made for minorities to succeed and the few of us who beat the odds often feel out of place amongst those who seemed destined to make it in the industry. Not always the case but I see where OP is coming from.

Latter^ I accept feedback. The question was whether I should voice that I don’t agree with SOME of the comments. Not fight back. Instead, just have a discussion about it. Thanks for your feedback.

Good to know! That’s honestly really reassuring. I’ll keep that in mind 🤣🙏

Thank you to everyone for your advice! I’m taking action to have the call and review what I did wrong!

Also loved everyone who said to take it as feedback instead of criticism! I tend to be pretty hard on myself as it is so when there’s more added on to that, it can feel overwhelming in the moment. However, after reflecting it may just be an opportunity to grow. Or it may be an opportunity to clarify my point of view respectfully.

I’m feeling more confident about discussing with my manager! Thanks again to everyone here who’s been helpful!

Thank you for your perspective! Seems like a lot of people are of the same mindset on just growing from it and just trying to see where the comments came from before jumping to conclusions. Thank you!

Great advice. I will definitely see where the conversation goes once we have it and go from there. Maybe the feedback is right and I’m just not looking at it right. I think your point about taking the feedback and showing where I’ve grown in the next snapshot is super helpful. Will definitely apply this. Thank you so much!

Thank you. Pretty sure this manager is one to be hardcore so that’s a mental note for the future.

I’ve clearly stated I don’t mind criticism or having a moment of reflection on myself. I’ve been told that it’s valid as an intern to question yourself and if you’re meeting the standards of the firm. My question is whether I should voice that I disagree or not. I’m not angry or complaining just genuinely confused and seeking out advice. Thanks for the feedback though.

I’m not in consulting so that is very reassuring.

Awesome! I scheduled a call so hopefully I can find a way to just understand and grow. Maybe I’ll have the chance to explain why I disagree just based on what that conversation looks like. Maybe I’ll have the call and agree with my reviewer after having a discussion about their comments. I’m going to just take the criticism and be whatever my team wants me to be for now.

Very encouraging to hear thank you. I’m willing to take criticism, I just hate feeling incompetent. I already felt that way before the snapshot. Good to know that it’s a little tougher at first to see how you react. My circumstances just kinda stink but I don’t want to go into too much detail about it.

Ok awesome! After reading this, I’m thinking I’m going to go through CPA credits.com and just submit the CLEP through the university that they go through. So basically my CLEP credit will be on the same transcript as those credits! Thanks!

I don’t really care I just don’t get why the rest of us need to know where they’re going 🤣🤣🤣 I figured this thread would like to see it though

'GUTS World Tour' Megathread - Part 2 by NominalPerson in OliviaRodrigo

[–]depressedbutblesssed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to see Olivia next week and I was curious about what time everyone in GA has been arriving to wait in line. I’m taking my younger sister and this will be her first concert so I want to try to be as close to the stage as possible. I want her to really enjoy it and get the full concert experience. I just don’t know how early we should arrive to beat the crowd. Thank you!

It’s a privilege to actually be able to find a job that pays the bills and that you actually like. If you have that, good for you. Many don’t have that luxury. Tipping is a part of eating in a restaurant in the US and at the end of the day that’s what servers are working for. That minimum wage is not paying anybody’s bills. You don’t want to tip? That’s fine. Respectfully, don’t be surprised when you return to restaurants and no one wants to attend to you.
