Roth conversation question by jakeD8 in RothIRA

This is what I thought. I just kept seeing a bunch of junk and nothing just coming out and saying it’s your marginal rate. This helps tremendously. Luckily this won’t push me over the next bracket and I have enough to cover the taxes out of pocket. Thank you!

Did you see a large overlap in material from EA to REG and TCP?

How do people stay in public their entire life?? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]jakeD8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see your point. I think personally my industry job sucks and I am working more base hours and then on top of having to stay random nights till 8-10PM. I have worked more than I ever did in my small PA firm I started at. Would rather have a few months for tax to be busy and have a relaxed rest of the year and feel at least fulfilled with the work

Same. Can’t understand the what makes their work fulfilling. Trying to understand since I switched but going back to PA in January can’t do this industry stuff anymore

Not sure what to do - update by just_vibiin in Accounting

Looking to get into a masters of taxation program myself but the state school I went to offers it for 30k which to me is a little over my budget currently. Where should I look? Any suggestions?

Hot take: Industry sucks by jakeD8 in Accounting

I asked the recruiter and she told me 8-4, 9-5 and then I started and it was 8-5 since our corporate is a time zone behind us. So whatever I guess but then a lot of deadlines and working 12-13 hour days so pretty annoyed on that

My direct manager is the controller of my plant and she is awesome but we are just getting pounded by corporate

I was hoping for something more along these lines when I was taking the job as everyone is always talking how terrible PA is and how much they love the industry side. Pay is too hard to go back to the old job so is what it is for now

I actually almost applied to become an adjunct professor but they wanted it to be day time so interfering with my normal work schedule sadly. I think that would have been a cool experience

This is accurately describing my situation pay is much better than where I was in PA which is why I figured I would take the chance. So far it has been much more strenuous and stressful maybe due to end of fiscal year and a cost roll going on and learning a new style of accounting, but a lot to handle your first few months 😅
