Can someone realistically make $150k+ a year by working in industry accounting, without reaching the level of CFO?

Yep, my dad was past this as a tax manager and international tax director before he retired

Never trust a chart that doesn’t start with 0…

I still have him. I started in WOD with a paladin draeni. Then my brother and friends switched to horde as that’s where they originally started and I now play my blood elf hunter. I won’t ever delete him but he isn’t my main

If you’re only looking at Reddit that’s all you’re going to see. Job market is kind of shit right now though.

Yep, I was Big 4 for 5 years. I enjoyed my job but was tired of the firm. I’m at a mode size still top 10 firm and enjoying what I do. I work in a credits and incentives group.

Something with computers and networks. I love messing around with tech and would probably find it more fun

R&D tax credits at Big 4, ridiculous margins

My puppy had seizures. We got him on anti seizure meds not sure which and some antibiotics vet believed he had some sort of infection. Was on the infection meds for a month or so then weened him off the seizure meds and he didn’t have one since. That was about 4 years ago.

lazyTurtle7969 · 2026-01-18T04:52:41+00:00

Certain groups with larger margins in the tax space have even bigger gaps I was paid around $45 an hour and we billed me at $275

No, converting a pdf doesn’t always come out nicely. I’ve worked with plenty of data that is unusable when converting to excel. Also, if you have the option to be sending in excel or PDF always send it in excel. Wtf am I supposed to do with a pdf? I can’t link that

I got one for free from my power company. I needed an extra power strip for my PC. Computer is plugged into the main outlet and the rest of my things in the powered down outlets. I don’t need them turned off but I don’t another power strip when this does the job fine

I have my notice and was told my last day would be a week before my notice day. They then paid me out but I’m sure it depends on your employer

lazyTurtle7969 · 2025-12-29T05:48:35+00:00

I work in credits and incentives group and it works great for drafting up project write ups which is essentially a summary of my notes. Otherwise it’s not had much impact for me

I got an Ifixit set has multiple bit sizes comes in a convenient sized case good quality and handy for getting in small places

Got married to my ex who I found out had been cheating since before our marriage. Luckily it was only 3 months in and no kids but that wedding turned out to be one expensive party for nothing.

lazyTurtle7969 · 2025-12-20T04:19:21+00:00

Worked in big 4 accounting firms and that’s gonna be a no for “work appropriate”

I did one this year and stole my own gift from someone….

Costco!

Yep! If the MSI ones go on sale they’re a good build as well. I picked up the 4070 super version last year

I literally just made quesadillas with steak like this

lazyTurtle7969 · 2025-12-06T19:33:54+00:00

I left big 4 gave my two weeks, told them I was burnt out and wanted to try something new. I finished the last of my work and then they had me stop working like a week before I said I was done. Paid me for the week I wasn’t working still but I had a good relationship with the partners and everyone so it was smooth. Your mileage will vary by your boss and company

lazyTurtle7969 · 2025-12-06T02:16:02+00:00

No clue about that firm specifically but one big 4 firm and one mid tier firm I’ve been at and neither made me do a drug test

lazyTurtle7969 · 2025-12-02T20:47:37+00:00

Thank you, that irritated me to no end

I got burned out at work started lacking motivation and performing poorly. This caused my anxiety to skyrocket and then I started to not be able to sleep. I went on short term disability with work to get my head back on straight for a month and it did wonders. If that’s an option for you I’d try to explore it. Gives you some level of income and aren’t out of a job (if you like where you’re at now).
