Tfw went into accounting instead of engineering

have my CPA
i did get into accounting later than most.

i'm not making six-figures in public accounting because i lack social skills to be promoted to manager at the big4 firm i'm at

i've been contacted by recruiters for six-figure jobs in industry. but tbqh, i don't want to work in FRAP. i'm taking the CFA exams and want to work in a more finance related job, but that requires a social network to break in

>THOSE FUCKING MANTITS LMAO
it's wads of cash

Only the most senior people at Google are pulling in seven figures (mostly in RSUs). That said, nearly everyone is making six.

those 7 figures include two after the decimal point

Im in accounting and currently doing my CPA. I chose this crap industry not because i had a passion for doing taxes, cripplingly long work hours and constant stress, i did it so that i could open my own company someday and have working knowledge on how it should be operated.

I hate the mentality that most people in accounting have, that it's normal to work 12 hours a day if your lucky and suck the cock of the partners for the honor to do so.

Pick a product, open your business, be more cost effective than the non CPA autists around you, and live your life.

P.s can one of you please sign off on my work hours so i can escape this hell?

I'm actually more qualified to talk about this than most anons.I'm employed with a cyber-techno machinations company, I do a lot of security analyst programming type work. Open source, decentralized, APIs, partnerships, you name it. We'd be one of the first companies in line for something like Chainlink, if the decentralized smart contract space had more value over traditional data exchanges. There's a catch though, an underlying flaw more deeply embedded in the bedrock of LINK than the very code itself. The flaw is with the concept, and it's this: Companies won't actually go through the hassle of trusting their data API's through crypto.

Now I can already hear your keyboards going frantic, but hear me out. Jow Forums hates banks, and traditional data providers. But actual companies, businesses, and investors do not. There's an old saying you might have heard of: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!". The idea that any of our bosses would give us the go ahead if we approached them to put our companies valuable data in a smart contract on a cryptocurrency called Chainlink, that they've never heard of, we'd be laughed out at best and fired on the spot at worst. We already have API data buyers and providers we trust.

'But Chainlink is trustless!' I hear you cry, but is that really a good thing? Just listen to the sound of it. Businesses don't want to spend millions of dollars on something that is trustLESS, they want something trustFUL. 'But the reputation system!', doesn't that defeat the whole point of your coin? If companies only trust nodes with high reputation, what's the difference between trusting banks and data providers that already have reputation, but in real life not on a computer screen.

The fact is, LINK is going to share the same fate as ETH will. A lot of 'real world application' hype, with a lot of 'crypto world application' reality. Only, this billion supply coin isn't going to come close to the $1k that Etherum hit.

>That said, nearly everyone is making six.
Most of which goes to rent and taxes.

YIKES

If you can get a good industry job in an area related to where you want to work, that might be better than staying in public.

I hear a lot of engineers wishing they went into accounting user. Maybe you need to get better bro. Move up the chain.

Accounting is good. But you should have moved slowly to equity reserach via utilising accounting-for-valuations or CFA, as your social skills are not up there.

Are massage chairs any good?

you'd have to be a really fucking god awful engineer to feel this way. Any engineer with half a brain can pull in 250k by age 30, those who went to big companies early enough will make 500k+ & have millions in stock options. Show me an accounting job with that potential.

agree. i don't want to stay in public, but it's not easy finding a non-FRAP job in industry

most of my coworkers don't do this though. typical path of my coworkers

senior accountant (or manager) -> FRAP role in industry. 95% of coworkers do this
senior accountant (or manager) -> banking/corp finance/consulting/front office jobs (everyone who did this are Chad types with connections), 1% of my coworkers do this
senior accountant -> transaction services within the big4 firm (including Valuations) -> industry

the last one is my preferred path (easier than the 2nd path), but i lack social skills and connections to switch to Transaction services

Okay i've had it with you fucking cancer ass stinky linkys. Every day i come to Jow Forums biz and see this faggot ass threads about chainlink i literally am starting to get a fucking brain tumor. The filter is going on. But before i leave i will leave you a food of thought:

You see little retard faggot ass morons, i have already put a 90c alarm on my etherdelta. Get it? While you faggots research and find out how many cells there are in Sergeys fucking asshole, i just sit back and enjoy the ride by fucking hoes and doing coke. Now when 90c hits, i just buy some suicide insurance CHAINLINK's and i dont even care if you 4x or 5x your money. If this truly is the next fucking revolutionary crypto then going from 90c to 10$ is 10x right? And to 100$ its 100x. The point is im going to get rich as well anyways so it doesnt fucking matter. Wow you made a bit more but who cares. The point is that im not wasting my life on constantly posting shit like this and spamming hell out of this crypto. See you at 90c and yeah i dont care if i buy your bags. Im not an all-in brainlet in 1 coin retard.

Filter ON!

>Wanting to work with a bunch of SJW's in silicon valley.

Id rather be dead or in jail.

wtf is FRAP, is it like BRAP?

Give me one example where an engineer makes 250k for a job that requires no more than 4 years experience.

Engineer is such a meme title now, should be called programmers or code monkeys

Civil engineers don’t make near as much as software people

This, he’s an engineering undergrad who thinks he’s not gonna end up as a wageslave for 20 years

Im an engineering grad and all graduate job in England are £30k/$40k. I don't see a 200k increase that quick.

This too, I did Electronic Engineering.

Financial Reporting, Analysis and Planning
FP&A, FR, FRAP, similar acronyms which more or less mean the same thing

don't most of the top places start at $150k, with places like Google starting at $200-$250k?

Attached: 1528504969867.jpg (947x625, 89K)

most accountants cant really do FP&A most of them are not really good a modeling and shit.

Just bean counters

FP&A at a small company is a good career, and can be as challenging as you can make it. can even springboard into more data analysis stuff. never will make the big $$$ though unless you switch to sql query shit and more senior roles

Yh maybe for programming jobs in Silicon Valley. I think accountants are more likely to get 200k after a few years than "Engineers" who aren't computer scientists.

literally this
you're welcome, OP

So... How much can an accountant make? How long does a career like that take?

don't bother. by the time you have gotten the degree, most of it will have become automated.

let me AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA with you

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It was actually MY line of thinking, lol. To get into industry and automate shitton out of it.

just get a degree in programming then and take a couple accountancy courses on the side.

>i'm not making six-figures in public accounting because i lack social skills to be promoted to manager at the big4 firm i'm at
You're wasting your time at the Big 4 firm. They're not going to promote you from the sounds of it and they're not going to give you a substantial enough raise for sticking around. You should be able to easily make $140,000/year or more by taking another job.

What this means is that you're losing at least $40,000/year by being idle and staying in your current dead-end job. Think about that.

literally the final solution for everyone's finances right now and im not even memeing

chainlink is going to be bigger than bloomberg in terms of messaging services and is realistically worth around 120 billion in market value

invest in options
Profit
enjoy new life of financial independence

lol my cousin is 30 and taking out loans to start an accounting degree now after wage slaving in minimum wage service jobs since high school
normies never learn

it's hard finding those $140k/yr jobs though

of my coworkers who left the only ones making that much are in IB, Corp. finance, or other front office finance jobs

She’s cute but also ugly

She is strangely attractive

I know and have worked with enough engineers to know that this isn't true at all.

what the fuck is going in that pic?

A window into a very disturbed mind
>like almost everyone on Jow Forums

there was a thread on this earlier today but accounting is the retard tier white collar profession.

smart people become doctors or engineers or entrepreneurs

bump

actually considering this tbqh

You've never seen a man fused to the family dog imbued with the soul of his dead daughter and a bunch of other animals feed a litter of kittens before?

I would love to slap her face and impregnate her..

That is even more revolting than the pic.

I got into financial analysis with my CPA as is. I tried to study for the CFA but got overwhelmed which isn't to be ashamed of.

Whatever you do just get out of public ASAP. It's a career dead end.

Kek, I just rewatched the Conqueror of Shamballa today. Damn that movie brought back some memories.

What is mark zuckerberg doing at Google? I thought he was barred from that place ever since he made that rash decision back in 2014.

This is dumb.

Average max for devs is 140k a year. That's senior-level.

You shouldn't even compare salaries in California to salaries in other states but even in SF a lot of senior-devs make 120 or 140k.

You want the money then you make your own stuff.
