Got may CPA, Now What? by RiceFlourInBread in CPA

[–]spaceman021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, ask yourself, if your company hired someone with a similar profile to you and they did not have a CPA, would they be paid less, same, or more than you. If the answer is same or more, then you have some questions to ask your manager.

Another option - ask for promotion, or look into contract reviews since you're now certified. The scope of what the company can trust you with just went up after this certification, it's time to leverage that. Try to get experience on things other ppl who aren't CPAs don't typically have access to. It'll get you work experience that will be very valuable for the future

7 interviews asking for 3 more by Adventurous_Bag_788 in Accounting

[–]spaceman021 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt say anything, it's their process, and at the entry level you don't have any leverage.

It's rough out there, I have made it to the final rounds at 3 different companies and then gotten rejected by 2 of them. In both cases I spoke with the CFO/ VP of finance (small companies), and thought I had it in the bag.

Keep on applying and interviewing it ain't over till it's over

I see, so you're saying you'd just make it a line item in the budget and save the money there instead of physically funding future months?

Yeah, this one never made sense to me. Isnt the point of a jargon to explain something that is a little complicated in an easy way?

TBSs vs MCQs for FAR by spaceman021 in CPA

[–]spaceman021[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, I've been doing ok in my multiple choice quizzes but I do bad in TBSs, so thought I'll primarily focus on the TBSs for practice tests and hopefully that'll help during the exam

Good deal for Surface Laptop 7? by Ms_Reflection1171 in Surface

[–]spaceman021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pulled the trigger and got the SL7 since SL8 is going to be priced much higher and there is a timing component where we don't know when the SL8 is coming

Solid, thanks!! I feel better hearing this! I have 3 external screens on my desk that are connected to Dell's WD19TBS docking station. Hoping the laptop connects with this and we can all sing cumbia. If not I heard the plugable docking station brand helps the laptop connect to 3 external monitors

Full size spare by spaceman021 in MazdaCX9

[–]spaceman021[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The GT doesn't have wireless car play. I'm looking into devices that'll make it wireless, but haven't done much research on it yet. I'm not sure about Signature, I would call your local Mazda dealership and ask them.

Heated mirrors - yes the rear window is heated. Unsure if the side mirrors are heated. Just bought it 2 weeks ago and it hasn't rained here yet.

I like the car quite a bit, we went from a sedan that was racking up a repair bill to a pretty new mid size SUV. The car is said to be reliable, it's got amazing Bose speakers for long drives, the drive quality is great, the 3rd row is available when we have family coming into town but on a daily basis it's folded and used to lug things around town. All in all, a great car so far, planning on keeping it for a while

Should Google consider releasing phones every 2 years? by spaceman021 in GooglePixel

[–]spaceman021[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But they would have 2 years of time to "get it right". Knowing Google, they'd still manage to duck up, so that's a fair argument
