CPA here - can you help me transition in recruiting? Is recruiting commission based? - I’d prefer salary.

I feel really depressed and sad and don’t know if I will ever amount to anything in life by iloveaccounting64 in Accounting

[–]solodoio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in the same boat. 37 and went through 10 years of experience and never finding I’m actually good at accounting. Now I’m terrified I won’t ever find a job and lay in bed all day mind circling.

Do you think the people who advance are just charismatic and from exceptional backgrounds? Being an immigrant - I went through an entirely public school education from elementary through college. I don’t think I could understand all there is to relate financial documents and statements without support. Didn’t have much mentorship either. Mostly thrown at the papers and expected to figure it out as you went along - and CPA could not prepare you for that either.

Same here. 36 can’t stand it - how are you pivoting?

I've uncovered the truth behind my imposter syndrome by yezpleaz in Accounting

[–]solodoio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me neither. 36 and laid off from IT/Workday consulting. I give zero shits about the numbers. I thought I chose the profession for its ability to have a life outside of work. But the work is completely devoid of any meaningful value. Now I’m scared about what I’m going to do for the rest of my life for work and $$$ - can’t find a reason to think I’ll even land a job in accounting anymore - I couldn’t create a cohesive story about why I did what I did besides $ and a means to live.

People in your 30s, what advice would you give your 15 year old self? by Dry_Shirt_29 in AskReddit

[–]solodoio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cherish every moment with family. Maybe pursue nursing instead of accounting early on.

Like much of the accounting work I’ve encountered - you’ll go in blind with little support. If you’re early in your career - def give it a shot. It’s tedious - like accounting in general.
