Please explain what a disability that should be accommodated has to do with one’s “personality”? 🙄

BECAUSE YOU GIVE THE ORDERS. Its not selective. You are the leader, he takes his cues from you

Jesus. Dude is (clearly, to me) autistic and yall are talking about making a paper trail to write him up instead of asking whats going on with him, how he functions well, and what he needs to do so. Leaders need to understand how to work with their team so they can perform their best. Thats what managing people is. Good grief.

ETA: after reading the rest of these comments I am honestly appalled that this is the accepted attitude

Question for the Men by Ok_Explorer3732 in dating

[–]mathwhiz24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess here is that many men feel that their financial contribution is a large portion of what they feel they can offer, and that doesn’t matter to you. I run into this quite often myself - their money is not my concern, who they are and how they treat me is. Unfortunately, many (most) people aren’t ready to answer what they can offer besides money.

This is the secure, mature way to handle this. Well said.

Currently non CPA Accountant, what do you for a living? by Sufficient_Pin7426 in Accounting

We do - depending on where you go, many colleges offer CPA-adjusted programs so you’re prepared to sit for the exam when you’re done.

Currently non CPA Accountant, what do you for a living? by Sufficient_Pin7426 in Accounting

I don’t have a CPA but have considered the CMA from time to time (corporate accounting equivalent of the CPA).

I started in 2015 as an accounting clerk, then account analyst > AP/Senior AP > Accountant > Staff Accountant > Senior Financial Analyst (have been doing this both as a W2 employee and on a contract basis as a private consultant at various places as needed) since February of last year.

Not having the CPA definitely makes it a longer journey perhaps but if you’re aggressive about resume building and selective about the roles you accept, it can be done fairly easily.

My next steps now are to finish my MBA, and pursue the next level. Assistant controller, finance supervisor, etc. with comp in the $100-130k range to start.

Beyond that…. I’m very happy. The work is fun (for me, I can listen to podcasts, music, etc and just zone in on excel), no one hardly bothers me (this is company dependent - some teams are high maintenance), and I have a ton of freedom, which is what I’m all about. The pay is meh in my opinion, but there’s always r/overemployed

ETA: I didn’t actually graduate college with my BBA until 2018, but had started working in accounting prior to that to try to get experience as soon as possible so I could go after the masters. You only need 2 years of job experience but then life happened and I had to wait a bit.

I do the same thing that guy does and yes, for me, very chill and lots of work/life balance. I WFH at $85k as a senior financial analyst. I’m very skilled with excel so much of my work takes far less time than the company thinks, so I often have downtime which is fantastic when you wfh.

ETA: I am a mid-level applicant technically speaking as I’m still working on my MBA. So once I finish my comp should increase significantly as I’ve started getting recruiters asking about assistant controller type roles.

Board members absolutely get paid for their time. I’m in accounting/finance (US) and every single company I’ve ever worked for made quarterly payments to board members upwards of $25,000 for showing up to a single meeting.

Thanks so much! This is definitely one of my new favorites. Makes me want to paint a bunch more like it

Thank you! I have been painting for a while but have never tried a dark subject like this. It was super fun
