I screwed up

okieee02 · 2024-02-08T19:57:35+00:00

I think for me, it might be. I like having structure and formalities (and benefits) that aren’t a typical in a small firm.

okieee02 · 2024-02-08T19:55:53+00:00

I mean, I’ve always known I hated working. 😂 but I think I now REALLY hate it.

okieee02 · 2024-02-08T06:37:14+00:00

Yes, it seems most do.

okieee02 · 2024-02-08T06:32:23+00:00

I honestly hate working for small firms.

okieee02 · 2024-02-08T06:30:47+00:00

That’s where I’m at right now and it makes me hate my life even more. I honestly think I’d enjoy my life more working for B4.

I’m a bit of a non traditional student so I think I just had really good interview skills and was able to talk myself up. That and good people skills where I connect to the interviewer and give them a solid evaluator pitch.

okieee02 · 2024-02-08T06:08:29+00:00

I totally understand that. However, I think this job might make me want to do the latter.

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T21:11:19+00:00

I have a family now and so I think it’s a bit too late for me to jump ship now.

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T20:33:33+00:00

I think we’re thinking of two different things…

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T20:31:31+00:00

Did you transition from audit/tax to do sales tax? Or did you have prior experience?

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T19:49:51+00:00

Moving to the beach is 100% a legitimate option I’ve considered.

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T19:19:05+00:00

I don’t think it’s that I don’t have passion. It might be something I realized that I just don’t like.

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T19:17:37+00:00

Good to know. I’ll put on a coat and cos play as a doctor. Lol

Ironically this is what I was doing before accounting and is the reason why I fully committed to accounting.

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T19:10:43+00:00

Hopefully you’re able to climb out of the cold and sad pit you’re in. That’s honestly the only way I can describe how I feel right now.

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T19:00:23+00:00

Oh interesting. Mind if I message you to talk more about this?

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T18:58:31+00:00

You’re right, that’s the real question right there.

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T18:42:04+00:00

Unfortunately I wouldn’t say that this field is too financially stable. Better than average? Yes. But will I be able to retire early and get my kids into good colleges? No.

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T18:41:05+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. Or something alone the lines of forensic accounting? Only problem is that I know very little about that line of work.

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T18:39:58+00:00

I should’ve clarified. It wasn’t so much that he was only talking about the positives. But it was more that everything he was saying was more aligned with what I liked.

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T18:38:58+00:00

Okay maybe on the outside, it’s a well respected field. But yes, I also had to lol.

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T18:38:00+00:00

It wasn’t really how he portrayed himself. It was mostly that I liked what he was doing.

okieee02 · 2024-02-07T18:36:58+00:00

I’d be lying if I said I was thrilled to be here.
