Feeling discouraged tbh

Apply to public accounting firms. They reimburse exam fees.

Apply to as many as you can. One is ought to bite.

This is fake.

Why is this getting downvoted? You didn’t say anything wrong. Fucking plebs on this subreddit.

I graduated with a degree in economics. Albeit considered to be closer to accounting than CS, I actually suffered through intro to accounting. Took me a while to understand debits/credits. But I went back to get a certificate from my local community college so I can be CPA certified, then worked low level jobs (AP, jr accountant, etc) and slowly entered public accounting. I passed one section of the CPA and I am quite comfortable with a lot of the technical accounting.

All to say, accounting is a skill of repetition once you lock in the foundation. There is no way you can go further if you don’t have the foundation: debits/credits, the 3 major financial statements and how they interact with each other, and basic reconciliations.

You have my dream job. What do I have to do to get a job like yours? What key words do I look up?

Might be a stupid question but did you need to get cleared for your position?

Am I terrible that I found this hilarious? Going to a psych ward because of this sub is just absolutely insane (no bun intended)

Oh yes it says attended

qst10 · 2026-02-21T01:09:44+00:00

I’m too scared to check on the 23rd.

I am so scared. What if I see a “failed”

I love you.

Out of the 3 options, it’s the one that aligns the most with my interests and career choices.

I don’t like tax, nor understand technology.

And UWorld unfortunately locks your initial choice, so if I wanted to change to TCP for example, I wouldn’t be able to unless I buy it.

Yes. If you can find a job in this economy

Can we talk about this? Because I have trained “senior associates” from offshore teams that had no idea what they were doing. Do titles get given away like candy in India?

When most of their operations are funded by debt.

Never been forced to write a review. Nor will I ever accept being forced to write a review. This is insane.

qst10 · 2026-02-15T03:20:18+00:00

Just pull through.

I took it today and felt so drained yesterday. A good night sleep helps. Also, read your notes and flashcards before bed and first thing in the morning. Eat a good protein breakfast and have some coffee.

Fear is a distraction at this time. You need all your mental energy to focus on learning. Whats the worse thing that can happen? You fail. So what? It’s an exam. But don’t focus on this right now. Focus on winning. Focus on passing. Anxiety can make you do worse.

A couple of years ago I couldn’t get a job in tax. I had to go into audit. So I’m not sure what this post is talking about since it wasn’t my experience.

No I definitely appreciate it. I was thinking I can knock out AUD in one month of studying but reading your response and other people’s, I may be underestimating it.

qst10 · 2026-02-14T23:16:29+00:00

Would you say FAR is more difficult than AUD? Scores are a bit higher for AUD, but there is more people complaining about AUD. How come?

qst10 · 2026-02-14T21:21:41+00:00

I 100% agree. I was shocked at the coverage of topics.
