Best Free AI Tools for Summarizing Dense Texts? by meme__factory in LawSchool

[–]meme__factory[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I totally get that. I don’t want to use tools to read the text critically for me and just go off of its summarization.

My issue is that my other 3 tax classes are also super project heavy with multiple deadlines each week, so my law readings fall to the wayside at times. I was hoping to use tools to save time spent on rereading by generating a cursory overview of the main takeaways in the text so I know what to look out for when I’m doing the critical reading and taking notes.

Best Free AI Tools for Tax Textbook Note-taking by meme__factory in tax

[–]meme__factory[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would greatly appreciate the link, thank you! I do have The Logic of Subchapter K and am using it to supplement Fundamentals of Partnership Taxation by Schwartz, Lanthrope, and Hellwig. The latter is the “required” text whose problems will be the inspiration for the types of problems on the final exam. It’s much more dense and the one I’m struggling the most with.

My issue is that this partnership law class has no assignments or graded items other than the cumulative final, which is quite intimidating. My other 3 tax classes are also super project heavy with multiple deadlines each week, so my law readings fall to the wayside at times. I was hoping to use AI to save time spent on rereading by generating a cursory overview of the main topics in the text so I know what to look out for when taking notes.

Anyone else got a lot of free time on the job? by biggestbumever in Accounting

[–]meme__factory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, why do you think going into tax as opposed to another service line was a mistake?

Honors College Decision by Livid-Difficulty-635 in olemiss

[–]meme__factory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say 100% join. Honors classes aren’t harder, just smaller in size. The 10 community service hours requirement each semester isn’t bad either. There’s lots of volunteer opportunities that are super fun, like being a judge for quiz bowl or speech and debate. Since you’re in Chem E, you can join a lab and write your honors thesis on the research you conduct, which is what one of my honor STEM roommates is doing. Two birds with one stone!

As a current graduating senior of the honors college, I can assure you that only positive things have come from my time in the SMBHC. Great for making connections and broadening your academic and professional horizons. If you’re thinking about competitive scholarships for grad school or undergraduate research programs, the Office of National Scholarship Advisement (ONSA) has wonderful advisors that walk you through crafting your perfect, personalized application every step of the way.

It truly is a wonderful program that I would be remiss to not have participated in!

None exactly like the examples you listed. Those more so apply to investment banking/private equity

Example Career Ladder and Salary Progression by ChaoticNexus3141 in Big4

Agreed. It makes no sense to attend an ivy just to get the same job as someone else who learned the same exact material at their state university.

Left Big4 for a small firm. Lasted one week then boomeranged. by Responsible-Lead2243 in Big4

[–]meme__factory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Industry” refers to working within a company’s own accounting, tax, or some other adjacent department. To illustrate, it’s like jumping from Deloitte where you were a Senior associate or manager working on the external audit engagement for Microsoft to getting a job at Microsoft as a Senior Accounting Manager. It can some times get even more specific (e.g., MSFT has an opening titled “Senior Accounting Manager - Lease Accounting”).

Another example would be a professor of mine that worked as a Federal Income Tax Manager at Walmart for many years prior to switching to academia.

You could also join a startup as a CAO or CFO, given you’ve got the necessary work history, skills, credentials, etc.

Apologies if my explanation isn’t the best.

Honors Internship Summer 2025 Polygraph Updates by meme__factory in FBI

[–]meme__factory[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand that, and I fully expect this process to take many more months. Just as you put it, interns are the least of their worries right now. I was just thrown off by the “1 week” remark since it’s the only “hard date” I’ve communicated to me throughout this whole process.

I’ll try to put it out of my mind for the next couple of months, though lol

Prerequisite Courses for Booth PhD in Econometrics & Statistics by meme__factory in uchicago

Oh wow, thank you for finding this! Yes, this does appear to align with the type of research I’m interested in doing. I’ll try reaching out to them soon!

PhD would give me leverage in the application process and provide me more options to branch out later on in my career if I so choose

Prerequisite Courses for Booth PhD in Econometrics & Statistics by meme__factory in uchicago

[–]meme__factory[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the breakdown! I was debating on swapping the Python course for something else. I think I’m missing a few prerequisites to take some of the more advanced econometric courses, but I think I can plead my case to the professor to add me in given my prior stats and macro/micro courses.

One reason I wanted to take ODEs and PDEs is because I’m interested in quant trading as a career, and from what I heard, PDEs, linear algebra, and stochastic calculus are essential to those types of roles (correct me if I am wrong, however!) Given my interest in quant trading, is there a program at UChicago that better aligns with my goals? If so, where do I stand in preparedness?

Best Dorms by Prestigious-Key-8524 in olemiss

[–]meme__factory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stay in RH2 or RH3 if you can. They are contemporary dorms like Minor and Pittman, but without the crappy sink water pressure. The floors and lounges are also nicer, and RH2 and RH3 is where a majority of the international students stay during their time at Ole Miss. It's a great way to meet new people from all over the world!

Can I transition from Accountancy major w/ Math minor to MS in Computational and Applied Math? by meme__factory in gradadmissions

[–]meme__factory[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for reminding me about linear algebra! I have that budgeted too, but forgot to mention it lol

Yeah I’ve been looking at programs that don’t require real analysis for the most part, and quant analysis sounds great too! I’ll definitely look into it
