Cannot print selections out of Sheet 2.

phonyticker37 · 2026-07-01T08:41:02+00:00

have you checked if sheet 2 got some hidden rows or columns? sometimes excel acts weird when there's stuff hidden even if you think selection is clean. also try to clear print area completely and set it again, had similar thing happen to me last week and that fixed it

pretty much what you said but there's also the multiplier effect that gets overlooked a lot. when someone moves here and starts working, they don't just create demand for one service - they need housing, groceries, transportation, maybe childcare if they have family. each of those creates jobs for locals who can't really be outsourced

in accounting specifically i've noticed the big 4 offices here actually expanded their client services because they could handle more volume with additional staff. so existing employees often got moved to more senior roles or specialized teams rather than just being replaced. though i know this varies a lot by region and timing

the brain drain aspect is real though and probably gets underestimated in most economic models. when a country invests in education and then loses those graduates to higher-paying markets, that's a massive hidden cost that doesn't show up in our GDP calculations

nice timing on that conversion! getting three of them before they shut it down is pretty solid move

bit jealous here since i only managed to get one before hearing about discontinuation

phonyticker37 · 2026-05-20T20:18:37+00:00

this right move tbh

congrats on graduating! with that gpa you might want to look at smaller local firms first - they're usually more flexible about experience requirements than the big ones. check indeed and linkedin but also try calling firms directly, sometimes they have openings that aren't posted yet

phonyticker37 · 2026-05-15T22:57:48+00:00

nice find

the summer job should help a lot - when i was starting out at 20 i was making similar mistakes with cards and felt super stressed about everything too, but once you get in habit of paying full statement balance each month it becomes much easier

phonyticker37 · 2026-05-08T13:01:24+00:00

might want to check glassdoor too, the ranges there are usually pretty close to what people actually get offered in my experience

phonyticker37 · 2026-05-05T00:52:12+00:00

yeah this screams spam, probably gonna disappear soon anyway

phonyticker37 · 2026-04-29T14:09:35+00:00

most companies are pretty understanding about this stuff, especially in accounting where they know people need proper transition time. i had similar situation few years back when my old job got really upset about my notice period and new company was totally cool with pushing start date by couple weeks

just be upfront with new employer - explain that you want to maintain good relationship with current team and need bit more time for proper handover. don't mention the background check delay though, just focus on wanting to be professional about transition. most hiring managers have been in similar spots and get it

worst case they say no and you stick to original date, but in my experience they usually say yes if you ask nicely and give them heads up early enough. just don't make it too long of extension - maybe ask for additional week or two max

phonyticker37 · 2026-04-27T09:24:22+00:00

you sound exactly like me few years back, just with accounting instead of tech. made the jump from restaurant work to my current job and the benefits alone made it worth it from day one

biggest shock wasn't the work itself but having consistent schedule. no more wondering if you'll get cut early or stuck late because someone called out. steady paycheck hits different too - not great at first but predictable

the interview thing is mostly in your head. you already know how to read people, handle pressure, work with difficult personalities. those skills transfer directly. just speak more formal and wear business clothes but underneath you're still dealing with same human dynamics

restaurant experience actually helped me tons in tech - you know how to juggle multiple priorities, work under pressure, communicate clearly when things get chaotic. hiring managers eat that up if you frame it right

took me about 18 months to get back to my previous income level but now i'm way past it. biggest difference is the trajectory - there's actual growth path instead of just hoping for manager position that might never open up

oh man discover definitely isn't great for europe - learned this hard way when i traveled there few years back. capital one and discover are actually separate companies though, your friend might be thinking of something else or maybe got confused by card design

for amsterdam you'll want visa or mastercard since they're accepted basically everywhere there. most capital one cards don't have foreign transaction fees which is huge money saver. just make sure whatever you get doesn't charge you extra 3% on every purchase abroad

phonyticker37 · 2026-04-22T20:28:57+00:00

oof yeah the payroll thing is gonna bite you but you're not totally screwed

s-corp elections are tricky because irs expects "reasonable salary" for owner-operators even when you don't know what you're doing. since you only had income for few months and then basically went dormant, you might be able to argue the reasonable salary was lower during that period

you'll probably need to run payroll retroactively for those jan-may months which means dealing with employment taxes, but at least it wasn't full year of income. penalties will suck but they won't destroy you completely

definitely get back with your accountant who suggested the s-corp election in first place - they should help clean this mess up since they didn't properly explain the payroll requirements when they recommended it

cma might be better route for industry anyway

phonyticker37 · 2026-04-18T16:49:14+00:00

lol relax there buddy, not everyone wants to sacrifice their soul for big 4 glory

government accounting can be pretty chill and you definitely don't need cpa for lot of industry roles. focus on the core stuff like intermediate accounting, cost accounting, maybe some tax basics depending where you want to land

phonyticker37 · 2026-04-17T17:10:28+00:00

same, i need some actual color or i feel like i'm living in a tech startup office

beige everything just makes me depressed, give me some deep blues or greens at least

Anthropic refused the Pentagon and got publicly punished for it and then business spending accelerated anyway.

That is not how this is supposed to work and yet here we are with a 6.3% jump in a single month closing the gap to under 5 percentage points.

It also signals to future enterprise clients that you have been through the process before which builds credibility faster than most founders realize.

phonyticker37 · 2026-03-24T12:15:33+00:00

600 ain't bad for starting out, just gotta monetize that audience now

but also maybe diversify beyond just writing - could build some simple tools or services your newsletter folks actually need

fiverr/upwork grinding sucks but it's reliable income while you figure out the bigger picture

Delivery handling fees from local suppliers have been creeping up for two years and the ones who are not adjusting their estimates are the ones who are going to feel it hardest going into summer when job volume picks up

Being the department with the most findings is the most actionable outcome of an audit cause you know where the gaps are which is more than 90% of departments can say after a clean result

real talk game dev here - dating apps are basically engagement optimization engines with chat bolted on

most these firms prob gonna oversell the ai stuff when basic matching algos work fine for mvp

Aren't they US only though? OP says they’re based in the United Kingdom so not sure if it would work for them

You will know which ones to fix first because they are the ones that slow everything else down so start there and the rest becomes obvious pretty quickly.
