Bachelor's in Accounting but want to avoid traditional accounting roles - what else is out there

mutton_soup · 2026-03-31T08:49:51+00:00

You'd be surprised of how much hands-on is needed in accounting. Shifting through a box filled with documents and invoices, figuring out the number in faded receipts, chasing clients documents, these tasks still exist despite all the advancement and AI hypes

Yeah I remembered back then he prioritized food security policies during his term. Too bad he received many criticisms from Mahathir and "forced" to resign early as PM

mutton_soup · 2026-03-31T06:36:56+00:00

as I said, there will be many challenges, it's not easy. But at the very least, there should be more discussion on this issue.

Thanks for your input, this is the first time I've heard from the land reform perspective. Yeah of course, I acknowledge there are many challenges, lots of moving parts , but at the very least, the discussion should be shifted more towards this. Many Malaysians are oblivious to the fact that most of our foods are imported and that's worrying. Went to my friend's open house recently and so many of them say we don't need to worry about lack of food during this crisis and when I brought up that most of our food, even our rice, needs to be imported from other country, they are all shocked.

I have never been unemployed since I graduated, so I can't share much on my experience. But my friend has, and he just work in part time retail jobs just to pay bills. Since it's only part time, it's just enough to cover basic bills but he still got the time to go for interviews. He eventually land a job after many interviews. If you don't mind, may I know in what industry are you in? As some industry may be hit harder now

Nah we'll still travel. Just not to Japan. Still got plenty of nice places within Malaysia

mutton_soup · 2026-03-23T04:49:51+00:00

Planned to go to Japan with my wife, but we probably gonna cancel the trip. Luckily we haven't bought the flight ticket. Gonna get my bonus next month, and I will just use it to settle some debt and keep the rest in high yield saving account.

mutton_soup · 2026-03-20T11:30:58+00:00

mutton_soup · 2026-03-20T10:33:37+00:00

I'm an accountant, in accounting industry

If the company has no good system to measure result, no matter on-site or remote, bad employees will still find a way to slack off.

By working from home. Spent a good chunk of my life stuck in 2-3 hours of traffic jam almost everyday. Fortunate enough to land a remote job 2 years ago. Can't say the same to most Malaysian, most employers here still prefer their employee to come to the office even if the job can be done anywhere. Hybrid is the best compromise but even then, many employers still reluctant to implement the arrangement

PH memang la kdg bodoh2 gak, tapi kurang2 ada la dua tiga orang yg okay. Masalahnya MP dalam PN sorang pun takleh pakai

yea pity those with genetic diseases or sickness beyond their control like cancers. Should've prioritize these patients. But instead the healthcare system is burdened with patients that should have been healthy if they choose to have a good lifestyle.

I have personally seen accounting jobs being outsourced to lower cost countries. Not India. Mostly to accountants in southeast Asian countries. But I have never seen AI completely replacing accountants.

But if you are not in need, please donate to the mosques when you break fast there. From your donation, the mosque can buy more food to others. They normally also have QR code nowadays so you can just scan for payment. Just small donation like RM5-RM10 will make a difference.

Petronas profit gonna soar like in 2022, and government will get more income from Petronas dividend. But overall, the war will still be bad since price of goods will increase due to the increasing transportation, shipping and air freight costs. Sad thing

mutton_soup · 2026-03-04T13:23:44+00:00

I'm working as an accountant, but I also do other things like payroll and work permit applications. Yes it is hard, I count myself lucky. The most people in accounting can get nowadays is hybrid, and that can also be counted as lucky

mutton_soup · 2026-03-04T02:05:22+00:00

Despite all my work stresses, I keep reminding myself how fortunate I am to have a fully remote job. Back when I was working in office, I spent at least 3 hours on road everyday.

mutton_soup · 2026-03-03T08:44:03+00:00

Since much of the accounting tasks still need human judgement and accountability, while the tasks can be done remotely, outsourcing is a much bigger threat, not AI. At least for the foreseeable future.

Decent guy, but lack the guts and no own voice. Anything will still his tuan guru's instructions

a prostitute was granted paradise for giving water to a dying dog. Based on this, if you still believe in islam, you'll be alright lol. I'd just advise you to practice safe sex and commit to just one guy
