    Pre recorded video interviews through EY are so dumb

    Posted: 09 Mar 2018 06:32 PM PST

    I can't believe anyone possibly thinks this a good idea. I mean if you want to filter out more people, raise the GPA or something else! And my campus recruiter said it's not about cutting costs...yeah...okay....

    I've been sitting here the past 2 hours waiting on customer support to call me back because their website server stopped functioning as I was partially through my interview and so I can't record anything. I'm about to just not do it because of how stupid this process is.

    Sorry, just needed to rant as I wait

    Does anyone else think accounting keeps them on the edge of their seat?

    Posted: 09 Mar 2018 11:59 AM PST

    I used to work for a hospice and I watched 1000s of people die of cancer and then I got my accounting degree. Now I'm a staff accountant and it's the most exciting thing I've ever done. I have no idea how anyone could ever get burnt out doing this. When I generate a report, I mine as well be orgasming because it's the same thing. Fucking love accounting. Best career I could of ever picked. The other day I made a bad ass spreadsheet. This bitch was so long. It was like 15 pages printed out and I was like yaaaaa bitch I made that. Does anyone else feel this way?

    Going over budget vs low billable hours

    Posted: 09 Mar 2018 04:04 PM PST

    I consistently go over budget on files. But if I eat time then I'll have lower billable hours than my budgeted billable hours for the month. Would it just be better to go over budget? I only started working 2 months ago and still in the 3 month probation period. So ideally, I don't want to get fired. And why do partners/manager care so much about going over budget, when they write off the time anyways, since the fee is fixed most of the time?

    Getting personal in an interview

    Posted: 09 Mar 2018 07:19 PM PST

    I have internship interviews coming up in a little over a week, so I'm trying to prepare, but I'm worried about touching awkward topics when answering certain questions.

    Examples:

    If asked what my biggest obstacle was, it would have to be dealing with my dad dying during the semester I took intermediate 1.

    Biggest weakness would best be answered by my social anxiety because it is genuinely my biggest weakness and I've been successfully working at overcoming it.

    If I talk about my extracurriculars I'd have to talk about my involvement in my church, bringing up religion, and volunteering at a pro-life pregnancy center, which could open a can of worms.

    I have no issue talking about any of these things, but interviewers may not want me to, not in depth at least. So how do I talk about personal things in interviews, or do I at all?

    Moving Province for a summer internship

    Posted: 09 Mar 2018 08:42 PM PST

    Hello Guys, Just out of curiosity if you were living in Toronto and got offered to work in Alberta or Halifax would you take the Accounting internship for spring/summer (4 months) or stay in Toronto working a non related labour job that pays more but you don't get experience and you are in the Third year going Fourth coming September.

    Any suggestions help, ps i didn't get any callbacks from nearby.

    I've had enough at my job! No more abuse!

    Posted: 09 Mar 2018 09:01 AM PST

    I'm currently working in industry as a staff accountant but my boss (the controller/CFO) keeps piling all this advanced stuff on me because the rest of his staff is incompetent. He's giving me senior/manager level work and it's stressing me out. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of! I'm getting paid mid 40s, started about a year and a half ago. Recently got a raise because I talked to my manager saying all the other people on my level (who are incompetent) just do journal entries or like ap work, so I ended up getting a 3k raise which to me seemed kind of insulting. We have senior accountants who are making 60-80k (granted they been here awhile), we got a new staff accountant who started last summer, at 65k because they had a ton of prior experience, but I do way more work than them.

    My boss is literally handing me things that are beyond my level because basically everyone here who has an accounting degree, is basically old/uneducated. We have Accounting Managers who basically just do AR/AP and other clerk work all day long.

    I've had to do an entire bank reconciliation for the whole year and a cash-flow analysis because my boss thought it would be too hard for one of the accounting managers to do. I had to draft financial statements for our audit and had to work with the B4 that audited us, providing them with PBCs and what not. During budget season, a manager could not get his budget done so my boss essentially was like "eff it" and took it from him and gave it to me.

    I feel like if I'm doing manager level work, I need to be compensated for it. I'm frustrated that basically "AP/AR specialists" are making way more than me.

    My boss constantly praises me and says how he's not worried about me, yet I feel so under appreciated. He always says because I'm fresh out of college, I can handle work better and it's actually presentable (people have submitted things with spelling errors, horrible formatting, sloppy work, and these things go to the higher up executives at our work). He constantly sends me all the accounting managers work to review/proof-read and I'm literally an entry level staff accountant.

    Should I try to talk to my boss about all this. My co-worker suggested I print out the job duties for my role and the job duties for a senior accountant level 4 and highlight everything I've done that isn't on my level (basically everything in my job duty, i don't do because I get put on all these advanced projects).

    Just a rant, could use some advice. I know a lot of people are going to be like "find something else" which I'm currently in the process of. Getting out is the easiest thing to do but this was my first job out of college and I've only been here a year and a half, so I'm still kind of inexperienced.

    [Can] CPA program Windows laptop requirement?

    Posted: 09 Mar 2018 10:17 PM PST

    So apparently, macs are not supported for the CPA exams. Can't bootcamp either. But am I able to access the module materials on a Mac?

    Basically, I want to use my mac to get through the modules and study, then only use a Windows laptop for the end of the module exams/CFE. Possible? Anyone do this before?

    Thanks intelligent redditors!
