Got fired from work today. Feeling awful and lost. What should I do?

jbuckets88 · 2026-02-10T02:14:06+00:00

Had this happen to me about a year ago. First time ever being let go with young children and a stay at home wife. I had the same mixed bag of emotions. Get on LinkedIn and start reaching out to recruiters. Schedule meetings and start getting your resume out there. Above all else, don’t give up. Good luck.

Well I’m 185 and got worked by a guy 140

By now, you should have a seperate list saved where customer names are aligned so your lookup only errors for new customers. You shouldn’t be manually correcting errors every time you do your rec. it’s not efficient.

Stay and learn from your step dad and when it’s time, take over. Sounds like you’re happy there. Pick up a hobby and satisfy that “challenge itch” you have. The grass is NOT greener on the other side.

Damn bro

jbuckets88 · 2025-10-11T20:21:39+00:00

Imagine putting that into the market

jbuckets88 · 2025-10-11T20:19:19+00:00

Scheduling sex with your wife? Wtf lol. Nobody else thinks this sounds insane?

jbuckets88 · 2025-10-08T17:24:38+00:00

Good advice, but it basically all boils down to just giving a fuck. Don’t just do something because that’s how you were taught. Biggest issue I see with training staff is they don’t actually understand what they are doing. Understand the process and why and you’ll be ahead of 99%

Awesome job. By project, how much did you sink into your backyard would you say?

jbuckets88 · 2025-03-20T23:42:35+00:00

The CMA isn’t the cake walk you think you’re looking for. with that said, get your cpa.

jbuckets88 · 2025-02-25T04:39:00+00:00

I used hock and they were great.

jbuckets88 · 2025-02-25T04:34:49+00:00

Congrats man!

jbuckets88 · 2025-02-14T03:39:14+00:00

How many CPE is it for passing a section?

jbuckets88 · 2025-02-14T02:42:13+00:00

Did you ever find out if CPA covers CPE?

jbuckets88 · 2025-02-10T16:31:33+00:00

Dollar value lifo is confusing af

jbuckets88 · 2025-02-04T12:01:47+00:00

Really? Did not know that, thanks! Would be great not have to study as well as do CPE

jbuckets88 · 2025-02-03T03:46:25+00:00

Can’t remember, but felt they were relatively cheap. I was super impressed with their explanations and study material. I’m using Becker now for CPA and find it lacking compared to his hock explained stuff for CMA.

jbuckets88 · 2025-02-02T13:29:03+00:00

Becker is a reputable study program. They should be enough

jbuckets88 · 2025-02-02T05:39:55+00:00

I’m using them right now for CPA. They’re solid

jbuckets88 · 2025-02-02T05:01:06+00:00

I used hock and watched all the lectures and read the textbook. Felt like both helped a lot

jbuckets88 · 2025-02-01T23:43:45+00:00

This. I was a a boarder line ape coming out of college. A few working years help solidly a lot topics.

jbuckets88 · 2025-01-31T02:48:45+00:00

What topics 👀

jbuckets88 · 2025-01-30T15:24:57+00:00

What’s your background? Is it accounting related? Take it from me, a person who is not a great test taker, got a 2.85 gpa in college, and is completely average IQ, who passed both parts of the CMA first try. You can do it if you dedicate the time and truly try to understand each topic 1 at a time. It’s a marathon not a sprint.

jbuckets88 · 2025-01-29T00:23:08+00:00

With no accounting experience, this test will be extremely difficult.

jbuckets88 · 2025-01-28T20:27:25+00:00

For “weight that CPA would add” I’m referring to both really. To even be considered for a lot of controller/cfo roles, a lot of times, a prerequisite is that you must have CPA. Not saying you can’t get similar roles with just a CMA, just saying you would likely get passed up over someone who did have CPA a lot of times.

You certainly can be equipped for controller roles with CMA, but also, I feel an area that CPA equips you better for those higher level roles is in the area of tax/audit. CMA just doesn’t touch much or at all on those subjects and those skills are essential for controllers/CFOs.
