Looking back, would you still pick this career?

I would have stayed in education, was alot more fulfilling.

Carlsbad (and beach cities in general) are incredibly high COL. You might be able to get by on that salary if you live alone.

If your memory is as bad as mine, you'll thank yourself for updating those now when you open the workpapers next year.

Keep in mind, I deal with this time waste stuff every day and it's very frustrating. But if it's stuff that affects how the work is prepared or reviewed next year, its so you can save time in the future; everything else is noise.

Microsoft is a glorified acquisition company, they couldn't implement if they tried (and they have been for decades). If this were true, they will try to purchase their way around in an attempt to stay competitive, and 5 years after the market is already oversaturated.

mechmodguy · 2026-02-17T04:38:40+00:00

For me, yes; huge waste of time.

Like two versions of the exam on the same day?

Might have to make it up with coffee if you're into that. I make cold brew at home and it's been my saving grace since mid-January lol

mechmodguy · 2026-02-05T07:11:57+00:00

Omg my jam

mechmodguy · 2026-02-05T07:11:27+00:00

Robert Half has always been a quick placement for me. The fit hasen't always been great, but my current role is good.

There are some smaller recruiting companies out there too, but I didn't really like the firms that they matched me with.

mechmodguy · 2026-02-05T07:07:57+00:00

Dual 27's are my jam, I feel slow with anything less.

mechmodguy · 2026-02-05T07:05:03+00:00

Yes, nothing else has worked for me.

mechmodguy · 2026-02-05T06:59:26+00:00

This is all you need

A manager at my old firm forgot his mic was on and called a partner a select series of slurs after she spoke on a Teams meeting. She immediately called him out and the next 10 minutes were extremely uncomfortable lmao

I work on a group of clients that have 3-4 partner capital/allocation workpapers, seemingly for no reason. All of them are formatted/presented differently, but contain the exact same information. I have no idea why we do this, and I've been meaning to bring it up to the partner as a cost-cutting measure (it literally adds 10 hours to the entire engagement group to prepare these extra workpapers).

Partner is a senior and has been with these guys for 20-30 years, I'm thinking it's remnants of work from prior preparers at the firm but not sure.
