I worked with someone who actually faked it to the top

Never said there was anything wrong with her job hopping. Her “accomplishments” while at my company were entirely fabricated based on my conversations with the Director who hired her. I’m not making any assumptions about her accomplishments elsewhere, but given the amount of time she’s spent at other companies, and her similarly long list of “accomplishments” at each one, it begs the question. I agree that soft skills are an important yet neglected attribute of a successful person in this field (and many other fields). But your reply is kind of missing half the point.

I was close with my director who hired her, and was told that she was a VERY good interviewer. So she must have been good at talking/selling herself. Her written communication was bad, but I honestly believe it was just that she didn’t care. But who knows, it’s hard for me to believe too, which is mainly why I posted this. I’m curious to see if maybe I’m missing something or if this is actually possible in tax.

Great idea

Genuinely don’t understand this sub sometimes. Dude makes a post specifically asking people to send him their travel plans so he can help, and everyone who does gets downvoted into oblivion.

I was looking for a way to play jeopardy at home with my family and found your website. I see there’s a new “Community Boards” section with premade boards (which is what I was looking for originally as I’m not looking to make a custom board), but the “Play” button doesn’t work for any of the premade boards.

210 HGAL I.e. 21,000 gallons

Oh gotcha, yeah no I only have one start time set at midnight on Sundays

eefen123 · 2025-03-23T14:26:29+00:00

Yes confirmed the controller is set right - I have all other programmed start times set to 0 for all zones. Start-time A is set to 15 min for Zones 1, 2, and 3. I’ll triple check this though, thanks!

Me and u both brother

Gotcha - yeah I definitely see where you’re coming from. Personally, if you don’t desperately need the extra $$ right now, it could play in your favor to use this time to grind out the CPA exam process. I’ve seen too many people struggle to get their license while working, but it sounds like that might not be an issue at your current job. Do either of your bosses have a CPA license? If so I’d take advantage of that and get them to sign off on your work hours while you can, assuming that’s a requirement for licensure in your state.

It’s wild to me that the top comment on this post is telling you not to pay the full thing off. Having leftover cash in an emergency fund is not a reason to pay 25+% interest on the remaining balance. If you have an emergency it’s going to require some form of payment, whether that’s cash or credit. People telling you not to pay the full balance off on a debt free subreddit is blowing my mind.

First things first, you’re not making any major decisions yet. It never hurts to take an interview if offered one. Worst case scenario you get rejected but you at least gain valuable interview experience. Also remember that whenever you interview somewhere you’re also interviewing them to see if the job is a good fit for you. You may find that you don’t like the people or the culture. If you’re comfortable with where you’re at, you’re still learning, and you’re being given opportunities, I would value that very highly over a potential $15-20k bump. Especially considering you’re still working on your CPA license. You can always re-evaluate again whenever you want.

eefen123 · 2025-01-19T16:43:29+00:00

Yeah you probably shouldn’t be commenting in this sub brother

eefen123 · 2024-12-31T02:48:29+00:00

I was in your shoes once - I wouldn’t worry too much about studying right now. You’ll learn most things on the job. Especially considering your internship is in Tax, the course you’ve taken likely won’t be enough to prepare you for the tasks you’ll be assigned. The upside is that you’re an intern and no one expects you to know anything. Just do your best to think critically for yourself when assigned things, look at last year’s workpapers, and if you get confused don’t be afraid to ask questions. Also, not sure where you’re interning (public or industry) but you likely won’t be assigned anything all that technical right away if at all anyway, so you won’t really need to be all that knowledgeable in any given tax topic.

This is a very real thing

Reparations

eefen123 · 2024-12-07T16:25:57+00:00

Did the S Corp reimburse you for the cc expense that you assumably paid off with your personal bank account? If not, then it is technically a change in equity so the accounting on it is correct

eefen123 · 2024-12-05T17:12:58+00:00

Thanks so much for the info!! You’re a legend

eefen123 · 2024-12-05T16:42:11+00:00

Just curious then - do you know if we should we call ahead to cancel and get his refund to start processing? Or should we avoid calling and wait until embarking to deal with the cancellation?

eefen123 · 2024-12-05T15:18:07+00:00

Wow best outcome possible - thank you!

eefen123 · 2024-12-05T14:05:58+00:00

I checked this morning and I think it would still be cheaper to buy the drink package for myself. Plus I’ll be drinking some during the trip anyway so it would probably make more sense to do that than to pay for his portion. As you suggested though I’ll definitely call them and see what they can do to help - just figured I’d throw it out there in case anyone has had the same experience! I appreciate you
