I'm from the south and Krystals > Louisiana all day

I get not liking the smell. As a smoker of the marijuanas, I've found that at entry level, you can get away with being stoned at work. Especially during my time in audit where I was pulling samples and tying things out. After joining consulting, it's just way too fast paced. Everything's a fire drill and the client's work is so ridiculously horrendous (if things were good, they wouldn't pay my billable) so you have to be on your shit. So now I do it at home after work like a good CPA 😌

I wish I went blue collar as a electrical, plumber, or another trade. Hard work w hard hours but I think I had enough business savvy to own my own business eventually.

Leadership is fucked for accepting the proposition of you paying her w your bonus. You stood up for your staff and tried to make set her up for what she deserved - which everyone in this sub says we need more of.

You felt like you let her down after doing everything you could. You didn't fail her. Management failed you both.

Srs question - after all the lessons from the sub, what's the point in paying for super expensive steak? If it's the vibes, I get it. But for the steak - I think no way.

I have teachers in my family and I'm not jealous at all. Tbf they're not jealous of me either but I can afford to live by myself in a HCOL city and vacation whereever I want. And still save money

Went to spain. Got racisted alot. I grew up in Alabama and never had real racist issues. Went to Europe, got it everywhere.

Tbh I just had a recruiter reach out. What I've seen from my peers are 3 usual routes. 1) grind in industry (lots of non cpas), 2) t25 school graduates coming straight to work (most mba but few straight from undergrad), 3) public accounting route

Graduated and took my cpa before working. Started in audit at a small local firm (50k). Got work credits for license, went to big 4 in a bigger city (80k) as A2 and got promoted to S1. Left right after promotion to consulting (100k). Promoted in consulting.

I moved from small southern city, to large city, to NY. So my salary went up, but my cost or living kept going up too. I'm not too much better off than I was before. Something to consider

I think if you have the freedom to express political beliefs, corporate entities do as well.

If I'm both a pornicator and a masturbator, is that double jeopardy? Also what is double jeopardy - I only use Google for porn

Slower lifestyle, kind people, space for yourself and your family, low cost of living, the outdoors (accessible outdoors), etc.

Plenty to love about the South!

I don't blame you haha. Home is home. I moved to NY and I already know I can't do more than like 3-5 years before I move back south

My parents spent their savings to pay for my college so I'd be debt free at the expense of their retirement. Will the government cut them a check too?

I left b4 audit to join consulting. Interviews were longer and harder but keep trying if you want to do it! Faked it til I made it and now I'm working my ass off trying to earn my keep

I'm one of those "I'm a Christian conversative but not a republican" types and the support for Israel is one of the reasons. Can someone explain why the US evangelicals support Israel so staunchly? They're not Christians - they're jews. Is it just "anything is better than Muslims occupying Jerusalem"?
