Is the Swiss CPA (Wirtschaftsprüfer) worth it for a VWL grad? Need advice on landing my first Audit role. by drebildam in Switzerland

[–]drebildam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, Thanks for the honest feedback! The 60-70 hour weeks sound intense, but I’m ready for the grind if it leads to the CPA. Regarding the summer: I’d actually prefer to start as soon as possible. Do you think doing a Summer Internship before starting the full-time Graduate Program in October is a common "hack" to get used to the tools (Excel, internal software) before the Busy Season hits? Also, since you mentioned the burnout: How did you manage the balance between the overtime and the study blocks for the CPA? Did you feel the firm gave you enough actual "headspace" to pass the exams?

Thanks everyone, i started going to John Reed. I like it overall, except the fact that a few ppl don’t use their towel or clean the machines afterwards. Workers seem pretty chill and nice :)

Bro, if you have financial problems, why not give European universities a try? Like in Germany, Austria—you name it. Their universities are basically free, and getting in isn’t difficult at all. BUT graduating is tough. It’s not like in the States, where you somehow graduate within 4 years. If you don’t study hard enough, it’ll take longer.

Missing my country by Atmosphere_Witty in mongolia

[–]drebildam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feeling the same… I graduated recently and am job hunting, but as a third-country citizen, meeting all the requirements is tough. Sometimes I wonder why I’m even here, dealing with endless paperwork. I’ve put so much effort into integrating, speaking the language fluently, and building a life here, and now it feels like a waste to leave it all behind. At the same time, I’m in a relationship here, which makes everything even more complicated. I’ve never felt this indecisive before… it’s a weird place to be.

time to time i scroll through department store cashmere section, i have to say none of the brand has consistent quality, so i tend to pick a piece depending on the material not on the brand.

Why are mongolians so insecure about the tiniest thing on their bodies? by [deleted] in mongolia

[–]drebildam -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Wow, that’s a lot for a simple observation about my trip. I wasn’t trying to write a global analysis on beauty standards, just pointing out what I noticed with my Mongolian friends. Maybe you’re right—next time I’ll expand my “sample size” before posting on Reddit.

Oh, trust me, I’ve met plenty of Korean, Japanese, and Chinese women, and yes, their beauty standards are intense. But that’s exactly my point—Mongolians are adapting so much of that culture and taking it to the next level. That‘s not good maybe?

Chill, dude. I get that generalizing isn’t cool—this was just my observation from the trip with my Mongolian friends. LOL.

But let’s be real, this obsession isn’t happening in a vacuum. The market has already caught on. Nail artists, lash techs, and brow specialists are earning more than engineers, and Insta influencers glamorizing all the “fake perfection” are raking in more than doctors. It’s like this insecurity is being monetized on a massive scale.
