My salary doesn’t tho

More money for little work depending on the industry

bruh my sis is in public accounting

i get a call of her crying at a gas station f***ed up on d**** some dude gave her. Turns out she quit her job and fell into this deep psychological break down which made her do some really questionable things. I hope she never goes back to it because bruh we should never be living to work to push our mind into a dark space...

S*** is no joke. You gotta be dedicated to get through it, but man are the benefits crazy if you can grind it out, especially Big 4. Can go from poor to upper middle-class in 2-3 years once you dip.

But yeah, it's definitely not for everyone. Hope your sis is doing better now but she needs to jump to industry or government ASAP because s*** does not get better in PA.

Tbf accounting in school is a lot different from the real stuff. I almost never use that s*** I learn in school in my current position since they'll almost always teach you whatever you need to do on the job.

But yeah f*** Intermediate Accounting/Financial Reporting

taking intermediate accounting 2 next semester. Im f***ed.

You'll be straight. Just need to pass that s*** lol. Pension and lease accounting are by far the worst parts of the class.

bruh i had to cheat to pass that s***. I am not a big fan...

Im not studying accounting but its required...

I would at least like to know if Im going to use this s*** irl

You had to take intermediate accounting as a non-major???

Yea

MIS major

Damn. I mean you could still use that knowledge if you decide to go into an accounting field but it's too specific outside of it

F***ing hated my courses in accounting and fiscal economics

Stupid question but im guessing u have to be very proficient at math to do this? My grandpa is an accountant, but i dont know much about the field

more finance-related

not much of the stuff i learned in school carried forward into this job lol

not really computers do all the math nowadays

where the AAT fam at

They’re making charts/numbers threads in music sxn right now

Move to drake sxn

Yeah no doubt, that’s how it always ends up being. S*** was just miserable merging companies and s***.

I’m satisfied with the work I do now. And I always have they degree in my back pocket if I ever need it.

Is this a UK thing?

Hell no. You're very rarely doing more than basic math. Most of it is done on Excel and a calculator.

The important aspect in a lot of accounting careers is having good logic-based skills. Like puzzle-solving. And tolerance to do a ton of bullshit work if you're in PA.

F*** these classes man

I’m looking into IT Business A***yst cause I also like computer science and that job works with an accounting degree

that sounds like a great path. maybe consider IT Audit as well even though I know some folks don't like that career path

Spot on. Charted Accountant pathway.

accounting 1,2 and corporate finance are required for my management degree and it is seriously burning me out

Idk how anyone could major in this s*** without going crazy seeing numbers everywhere
