    What did I get myself into?

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 06:09 AM PDT

    I'm really grateful for my job. That's it. That's the post.

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 09:35 PM PDT

    I'm in my second year of audit at a small firm (there's only a handful of us). I get paid hourly, I'm a respected member of the team, and my bosses are very supportive. I started in the summer before my last semester of college (graduated Dec 2019) and they were somewhat flexible with me during that time. I got hired without having taken audit at that point, mostly because I had a lot of related work experience in the industry. It's been great, and I feel super lucky to have gotten the position.

    I've seen a lot of posts from people stressed about finding jobs/not happy with their current ones and just wanted to put some positivity out there. The right job is out there and I'm rooting for you!

    RANT

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 08:38 AM PDT

    Cannot be bothered by some partners and directors thinking expensing meal while WFH is an entitlement, but also expecting us to work the same amount of busy season hours with a pay freeze. Eating out to save time to work more is not really an option with $60k salary, pls. Work quality will suffer when we would at least need 1+hr to cook, eat, clean up lunch and dinner every day while working busy season hours. Something's gotta give

    Imposter syndrome

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 07:39 PM PDT

    Can anyone relate? I feel like I'm not the typical accountant type. I dont really care much for detail...am more of a big picture type of person. If asked about a memory, I generally can't tell you the specifics. I am feeling like a fraud. Like colleagues expect accountants to be super detail oriented and love numbers, and I'm not that person..at all really. Background: been in accounting tech type positions for about 20 years but am now a first year staff accountant after getting my bachelors in 2018. Not sure what I'm trying to get from posting here, but this imposter syndrome has gotten me pretty anxious.

    Does the low starting salary matter when we make $80k after four years anyways?

    CPA Mom

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 08:47 PM PDT

    I'm just trying to figure things out. I am a CPA and a mom with 3 kids. I currently work as an accountant, no CPA required for the job I currently have. I took this current job because I was working for a B4 and needed real work life balance. Working in a B4, I knew time was going fast, and my kids where having a lot of their first moments without me.

    Now I have that balance, but I am not going anywhere in my career. Due to Covid, I work from home every day and I enjoy this. My wish is to obtain a job at a bigger better company that gives me the flexibility to work from home post covid. More money would be welcome and I want the ability to grow and learn. I also want at least 4 weeks PTO, B4 spoiled me with all that time off. I also really really want to be a mom and be around my kids as they grow, the youngest is under a year old. I am working with 3 recruiters but I just don't know if what I am looking for is possible. Any suggestions??

    Am I worth hiring in America?

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 08:10 PM PDT

    Im an American citizen currently living and working in the Philippines after graduating with an Accounting degree. I took the CPA exams here in Oct 2019 and got a conditional score (i only have to retake 2 exams and i pass), but due to COVID, the exams have been cancelled for a year now, and theres no assurance that the next schedule (May 2021) will push through because of how badly this country is handling COVID (the exams here are still pen and paper, theyre only NOW considering the possibility of a computerized exam, which may take forever to actually develop).

    I really want to go home to the US and I have family there willing to take me in, but I'm afraid that I'm not an attractive enough hire to get a job there. Other than my degree, I have 1 year of work experience as a Budget Analyst for a college here (about 16 months by the time I plan to quit in March). I really dont want to go through with taking the May exam because the CPA title here isnt recognized in the US, and if I push through with it, it wont be worth anything unless I use it in conjunction with work experience, meaning Ill have to stay even longer in the Philippines. I've been here longer than I ever planned due to COVID, and its taking a toll on my mental health.

    My long term goal is the be a US CPA and to settle back in the NJ/NY area, but I really dont know what steps I should take in my career to get there. I know about all the technicalities (credentials/hours/etc...) but I don't know what kind of job to even apply for. I doubt B4 will even consider me since I still have to see if my credits here are equivalent to 150 hours there and I lack any and all knowledge regarding US Tax and Law. I really want to keep my job hunt within accounting/finance, but if desperate times call for desperate measures, I am willing to settle for a part time job at a coffee shop or something while I study.

    ​

    I hope someone here can give me some direction! Thank You!

    If I pass both parts of the CMA exam but have no work experience, should I be fine in the job search?

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 04:18 PM PDT

    As the title says, I'm a senior in college and a lead RA and we are not allowed to work another job. My plan for internships were cancelled because of covid. I have already passed the second part of the CMA exam and have been studying 30 hours a week to pass the first part. I am wondering what other people think about my situation. Thanks and if your reading this I wish you for good health in these times.

    New A1: Does anyone actually like busy season because you feel accepted and part of a team?

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 07:52 PM PDT

    Genuinely curious. Not trying to troll. The heat is picking up partly because of being so slow but I feel accepted. Like I'm valued even if it's for the duration of a project. Like if I don't do my work someone will at least be in the short term be affected so we're all in it together. It's a feeling I couldn't really get with my family that much so I feel like it's a good temporary coping mechanism. Anyone else?

    Not getting into big4 even with a overseas degree

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 09:35 PM PDT

    I'm keep applying for big four jobs but still getting rejected. I've always taught I'm qualified but it's just that now it's a totally different story as I've always thought the job is in the bag but I have never been so wrong. Why am I stuck up in wanting big 4 so badly. Why am I not considering other firms or even industry? What's stopping me ? Can I still make it in life without starting in big 4? Or should I keep trying till I make it ? Need advise

    New to CPA Path questions.

    Posted: 19 Oct 2020 09:30 PM PDT

    So a little background. I'm 40 years old and worked in the death and dying industry for 15 years (geriatric nursing). My body and emotional well being both wanted me out of that so I aligned myself toward my brother-in-law's field of flood insurance. It seemed promising but I've come to realize it isn't aa stable as he made it out to be.

    Now I could go back to nursing but I'm really not wanting to. The college in my town offers the path to CPA and it's peaked my interest. I'm scared though that at 40 I'm to old to do it. Would my age be an issue going forward in this industry. I'm not looking for a dream six figure job, but just regular work, say 40-60k a year to match my nurse's salary. As a nurse I know for the most part age doesn't effect your employment chances, but I'm scared it may be a factor in accounting.

    Can anyone answer this for me and also if possible give me some tips as I am a babe in the woods here but very interested.

    As an accountant, how do you work on having more attention to detail ? Any advice is appreciated.
