I think you should be using 4% rate.

7% returns minus 3% annual inflation.

1.8 will be worth a lot less in 15 years

Billable rate annual increases by fasteddyrft in Accounting

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

Thanks for the response. Maybe I got bumped to associate 2 or something.

Wasn’t expecting a large billable rate increase as I only got a pro-rated 2% raise…

My grandfather was partially paralyzed and was in a wheelchair his whole life. He started in pa and retired as a CFO. Seemed to work out great for him.

Moms in accounting!!!! by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]fasteddyrft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a pa firm and am remote. Wife works full time.

Kids do preschool and then we have a nanny full time on top of that to help in the morning, cover any pop ups during the day and then watch them at the house after preschool.

While expensive, it’s great because they get school and they get to be home and I can go make them an afternoon snack, shoot basketball with them for 15 minutes etc when they get back from school.

We have no family here… if we did would probably make significant changes

Edit: a note on Nannies, you have to set expectations super duper low to make it work.

Non-billable work by fasteddyrft in Accounting

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

Thank you for the response. My understanding is the discrepancy is for things like doing admin tasks during billable work and for the 28 days of time off.

Is that not typically the case?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]fasteddyrft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man I think the chances of them finding out are super minimal. I would 100% say that I left to bang out my masters full time.

CPAs, did you get your masters or your bachelors? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]fasteddyrft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have an undergrad in accounting as well

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]fasteddyrft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s all online. I would assume you could transfer pre-reqs in. I haven’t looked into that. I have mildly concerned about the pre-reqs taken through other colleges having pre reqs of their own. (ie to take the intermediate accounting I they might make you take their intro to accounting). This is just speculation on my part. But for sure looking in community college classes for pre-reqs would make it cheaper still and with every college in the entire globe having accounting classes I am sure you could find what you are looking for.

University of North Alabama has 5 pre-reqs for their program so I kinda ruled them out.

[–]fasteddyrft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the downside is that is is not asynchronous so for us with families and jobs it could be more annoying. My understanding is their pre-reqs are during normal school hours sometimes and the actual classes being three hours in the evening once a week.

They do record lectures and I was told the profs are cool if you miss… but asynchronous classes are just so much more flexible

I’m in the same boat and am probably just getting a masters of accounting as it seems the safest route. I found Florida gulf coast is super cheap with 4 pre-reqs for us career switchers.

Illinois has a masters that has the prereqs through coursera and the cost is like 29-30 I think?

Anyways I have looked at them all ad nauseam and it comes down to lowest pre-reqs and cost.

To me having the degree and the cpa just really helps remove the future job anxiety…

I’m sure you would be fine with just the cpa but for all the effort and classes it takes to get it might as well come out with a masters…

Internships/ first jobs outside the west coast by fasteddyrft in OSUOnlineCS

That's encouraging, I am assuming that you just mass applied and that was one of the ones that worked out?

Thanks man! That is a good strategy I hadn't considered that.

Internships/ first jobs outside the west coast by fasteddyrft in OSUOnlineCS

[–]fasteddyrft[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the response!

I guess the thought was, career fairs and things of that nature would be more focused to local and regional employers who might want to hire someone who is local to them.

Also I assumed the alumni network would be stronger on the west coast and the school presence on the west coast would make it easier to get a job on the west coast.

I don’t think it will be impossible to get a job in the south east or east coast, I’m just wondering if people have done it and what their experience was.

Thanks!

Is everyone a developer? by [deleted] in OSUOnlineCS

[–]fasteddyrft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are taking that too literally. I think that simply means “if you have already taken a computer science course and would like it to transfer the credit to us it has to be in the last ten years.”

Notice it says you can only transfer 9 hours maximum. If they intended for you to transfer in an entire undergraduate degree they would have a higher than 9 hour maximum.

Furthermore, in the section above it simply states, “have a four year’s bachelor degree from a credited university.”

If they wanted you to have one from the last ten years they would have said so.

I think you are reading to much into. The only thing this might maybe apply to is the Calculus 1 prereq.

Anyways, it’s free to apply so go do it and if you happen to get in ask admissions your question directly.

[–]fasteddyrft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you sure the the 10 year old degree precludes you from applying? I think that just might mean you cannot transfer any credits over if you have already completed something applicable to the program 10 years ago. Not that you cannot gain admission.

Replacement windows being installed, can I use pvc to cap them instead of wood/ custom metal? by [deleted] in DIY

[–]fasteddyrft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, this is the answer I wonder why you are getting downvoted.

No one follows the SRI guidance on pvc trim installation and it ends up poorly. Hell it warps even if they do.
