    Mental health awareness month, please fucking read

    Posted: 26 Oct 2020 07:47 PM PDT

    Making a very serious post again because no one seemed to give a fuck about my previous cheeky post. I want to clarify, I come from anonymous forums for more than a decade. Downvotes, upvotes, that shit doesn't mean anything to me. I just say what I please.

    Please, read about mental illness. I can guarantee you there's at least one close colleague struggling with severe mental health issues. This is not fun. I suffer from severe depression, borderline personality disorder, I'm in the psychotic spectrum and multiple doctors give me the same diagnoses independent of each other. So please, I'm beggin you, if you can, don't be an asshole. Treat all your colleagues as equals. I'm a senior and I eat lunch with staffs and I hang out more with staffs, some colleagues get uppity once they make it to senior. Don't lose your values and humanity, this is just a job, on the other hand, colleagues are people close to you that got their own dreams and lives. If your promotions and pay raises are more important to you than your relationships with colleagues, I got nothing to say to you, you're a selfish cretin and you don't deserve success.

    On mental health struggles, I don't want to make a post about me, but this is hard. BPD itself is hard, I live life on extremes 24/7 and I can't fucking control it, doctors consider it untreatable. I always think about killing myself, I've failed many attempts. But I'm still 26, still alive and kicking. Some might say I'm still "young" despite me feeling old, I've seen and done too much shit. THINK ABOUT OTHERS, BE NICE, PUT YOURSELF IN OTHER PEOPLE'S SHOES, HELP YOUR COLLEAGUES, IF YOU GIVE LOVE YOU RECEIVE LOVE. A JOB IS JUST A JOB, HUMAN LIVES ARE MORE IMPORTANT. And if you suspect a colleague is strugling with mental health, at least try writing an anonymous advice. I'd appreciate that gesture from any colleague. No one has ever questioned me about my mental health despite me being severely mentally ill but highly functional, you can tell there's something wrong with me and it causes me lots of shame. It's disheartening, we're in plain 2020 and people still think "it's just in your head bro LMAO". Suicide is not fun, surviving suicide is not fun, surviving multiple overdoses is not fun. It breaks you forever and I hope no one that reads this goes through that. I "have a promising career" and statistically I'm very likely to die from suicide in my 20s, I can't even describe how it feels. I cry too much. I self harm too much, I hate myself. I had to disclose a suicide attempt to an employer that fired me and no one gave a single fuck, which made me more depressed. I'm madly in love with a woman that hates my guts, that hurts a lot too, everytime I think about her I just want to kill myself and she looks like an angel from a bedtime story.

    All I'm asking from you, please be nice regardless of your rank. You don't know what your fellow colleague is struggling with.

    Just don't upvote: I'd like to hear your thoughts on the situation. Do you even give a fuck?

    Mental health month awareness (or just be fucking nice)

    Posted: 26 Oct 2020 04:41 PM PDT

    Hey in case you haven't noticed yet, we're in the middle of mental health month awareness, green ribbon or however the fuck you want to call it.

    Please, don't neglect your mental health. Don't work in inhumane conditions. We're professionals. I willingly signed myself to work at least 60 hours a week for the following months if I don't get fired and I've been hating every single second of it, and this is the best case scenario I had.

    Anyways, don't neglect your health. My logic being, if people rightfully complain about their health, situations will improve. This is not politics, left or right, this is safety in your workplace. I've seen many people snap right in front of my eyes, I've snapped myself quite a few times.

    Also shotout to all my niggas with BPD, psychosis spectrum and severe depression, you're still alive. Society wants us locked or dead, but we endure even if it hurts.

    Finance student to accounting

    Posted: 26 Oct 2020 08:01 PM PDT

    I'm a junior studying finance, and finding it hard to find internships because of the high demand after many internships didn't happen over the summer. I definitely wish I was majoring in accounting, but it's too late for me to switch.

    I have had an interview for an accounting intern position (accounting clerk duties disguised as an internship), and have another one coming up for a part time accounting clerk position.

    My overall goal is corporate finance. Just wondering if anyone had any advice on whether it's a good idea to take an accounting clerk position in hopes of possible FP&A roles or similar when I graduate next year. Thanks

    Make sure TAS / deal advisory is really what you want in your career

    Posted: 26 Oct 2020 07:23 AM PDT

    Big 4 TAS manager. Spent 3 years in audit and now 3 in TAS. I originally thought TAS was amazing and sexy like most wide eyed dumb asses on this sub but TAS isn't what you think it is and it probably won't open the doors you really want. I transferred to TAS because I thought it was the holy grail for accountants to work in M&A. Truth is, you are still doing accounting. You're basically performing quick, high-level, turnaround audits, and fixing historical accounting mistakes from shitty accounting departments. The work we do is slightly better than audit but not significantly so. At least we get paid slightly better than audit though but the hours are usually much worse and more random. One day I'm out at 5pm but then the client or MD has comments and now I have to work until 1am addressing review comments out of nowhere. I thought I would be able to get into investment banking from TAS but honestly this is more of the exception and not the norm. A few people go to no name boutique IBs but you won't have a shot at getting into any of the good middle market or well known boutique banks. I also thought I might have a shot at getting in private equity or corporate development. Once again this is rare and they prefer investment Bankers not accountants. The most common exit opportunities seem to be jumping from one firms tas group to another or getting an MBA. Now many of my friends have gone to top 7 MBA programs from big 4 TAS so this is very doable but honestly I have a MACC and don't want to spend another $110k on a piece of fucking paper not including living expenses or opportunity costs.

    I'm so tired of the shitty TAS lifestyle of working long hours and weekends. I'm trying to find an accounting manager or FP&A role but I've been turned down everywhere because my background is not FP&A or generic accounting. I can 100% do the work. I have the work ethic but employers don't care. They want to hire someone who already comes in with that accounting or FP&A background. I've realized that TAS is very very niche and getting out of it is incredibly difficult.

    My advice is only go into TAS if you're OK staying in it for life or you understand that the skills are very niche and you might get stuck in it.

    I'm hopeful that a company somewhere will give me a shot, but its very tough out there. I was hoping to have another job before the holidays but looks like I'll be stuck working on Thanksgiving and Christmas break again this year. Honestly fuck consulting and fuck the big 4.

    Everyone who has exited PA, where are you at right now?

    Posted: 26 Oct 2020 11:26 AM PDT

    What is your total compensation? What region? What level did you leave at? What industry do you work in? Work life balance? Promotions since leaving?
