>Work in audit for a global accountancy >Low salary (£32k/$44k a year) >Unrewarding job where clients look and treat you like something stuck on the bottom of their shoe >So boring I'd have more fun watching paint dry >Tiresome colleagues and office politics >Everyone is two-faced >High churn rate; tons of fellow graduates leaving (probably close to 20-25% of the intake once the graduate scheme ends) so low office morale
Is this it? Is this all life is? Working in a boring ass, air-conditioned office ticking boxes until you retire and drinking/fucking on the weekend lol. I didn't sign up for this shit.
Please tell me there's some sort of light at the end of the tunnel. I was thinking of moving into banking once I finish my ACA because it seems the most 'exciting' of office jobs.
The light at the end of the tunnel is the sweet release of death. Just 200 years ago you would be a serf working back breaking jobs for one shekel a day. Get a toothache? You’re dead. Cut your finger? You’re dead within a week because antibiotics don’t exist...also you would have to have 10 children because 6 would die in infancy... your biggest obstacle in modern life is figuring out which fast food to eat for lunch. Suck it up pussy. It’s the easiest time to be alive in history

>also you would have to have 10 children because 6 would die in infancy
At least they got laid lol :(

This. Quit whining. You work 40hrs a week, that leaves 128hrs to do everything else. You have financial stability and independence (well, apart from depending on the job, but you can change that by developing yourself). Some people have to actually do hard labour for less money. I have done both, I'm now an office worker but I worked in paper mills for years during college. Once you get home at 6:30 in the morning, dirty, sweaty, tired and with nasty paper cuts (don't laugh, it's actually a thing, try cutting your hand on 300gsm watercolour paper) for the fifth day in a row, you'll start to appreciate your office job. Quit being a weakling, ffs.
Back then they did it for the survival of the species, it was not because of blind lust and degenerate culture like sex is today

get a better fucking job who the fuck wants to work in an office what are you some of retard cunt fuck me
Nathan Perez
40 hours a week..lol. More like 50 hours of work + 25 hours studying for my qualifications so all in all 75 hours a week consistently all year.
Ian Baker

Carter James
Oh no, I can't do that. My back is FUCKED with a capital F haha.
Eli Howard
is it actually or is that bullshit
Levi Watson
You’ve got no idea what people do to make 44k a year. I know guys who spend 12 hours a day hand stacking 80lb bags of potatoes that don’t make 44k a year. Guys finish their day and can barely walk or use their hands. Their only relief is that it’s a 3 day week.
Cooper Powell
So? Your studies will be completed one day and you'll be better off. You were looking for a light at the end of the tunnel, well there it fucking is.
Kek, we're actually just exploring the Australia and Oceania market. It's good stuff, and the best thing is that I get that shit for free now >t. watercolourfag

If you guys did printmaking paper too I'd be all over that shit
Jaxson Anderson
I get shooting pains when I bend over. It's really weird. I reckon playing rugger when younger did it for me.
Joseph Russell
I work in a law firm so at least I get to go outside occasionally to deliver bundles to Chambers and go to court every so often. But then my 8 hour stint at a hearing yesterday was even worse than office droning
Evan James
>Implying we don't Nigga if you can think of it we can make paper for it.
This printmaking paper was recently created to celebrate our 400y jubilee this year, shit is on fire, it's sold worldwide

Noah White
You work in criminal then I take it? Just let the barrister do the work and have a snooze behind him.
Jordan King
wait until you think you're going to be fired then tell everyone you've been living as a man for several year now and thanks for their support with all of it..
they wont know what to do.
Evan Scott
Wait do you work at the Papierfabrik Schut Mill? Shit man I buy that paper all the time. I used it for my etchings in university
Noah Hall
You're fucking robots, of course it's nothing for you
most retail jobs are 18k a year and they run you of your feet not all offer full time
stop complaining that you get paid 32k a year to sit down and have a computer assist you
Gavin Russell
Bingo, glad to see you like our paper. I started out in a side job in production but now I do planning and logistics, shit is cash
Christian Hughes
I have a friend who has worked for Deutsche Bank and KPMG who also did auditing and fucking hated it. Have you considered working outside of the big 4 and London?
also lol at people saying accounting isn't hard
Brody Jones
Fuck off, at least you get to sit down in an air conditioned office all day. I have to work in a factory doing manual labour and fixing frustrating machines while my boss harasses me to go faster for 35k per year.
David Evans
That's it I'm taking the NEETpill, that isn't life. I want to homestead and have my own little farm, I don't want to participate in modern society like that.
Colton Reyes
Not to mention that I have a BA in History so accounting doesn't come as naturally to me as those more maths inclined.
Luke Watson
You sound like you'd actually enjoy reading academic literature on the management strategies of printmaking.
Luke Taylor
Do you live in London OP?
£32k is a high salary anywhere in the UK outside of London.
Connor Collins
Well you make sure to tell everyone they're doing a great job
Nathaniel Cooper
>work in office for major it vendor >work overnight to provide troubleshooting and ticketing for emergencies so no boss oversight, it's just me and one other guy >literally smoke dabs and sit around listening to podcasts just incase the rare emergency call comes in >30k a year with insurance >24 hour italian place closeby so I can get tendies and pizza delivered while I'm at work Getting ccna was the best thing I ever did
Grayson Cox
>work in public sector in London >was smart in education but fucking horrific social skills and ugliness causes me to fail so many graduate interviews so a low level public sector job was my first real job after university >get paid about £26 k >working 9-5 plus the underground commute was SOUL CRUSHING >have no work to do >arrive later, take longer lunch breaks, leave sooner >after two months at the job I spend less than 2 hours per day in the office because I have so little work to do >by now I spend less than 30 minutes per day in the office on average; don't know how I got so lucky
I am basically a WageNEET at this point. My position is miraculous but won't last. I feel your suffering OP. Commuting during rush hour in a packed underground train filed with Staceys who see you as ugly shit is demoralising. And I know that posh people and women all have highly paid sinecures or banking jobs. Why fucking bother putting in effort when a 21 year old who does well in interviews is earning £70k right now?
A lot of my money goes on rent in a tiny flat. I could save money by living with strangers but it feels horrific.
I'm not sure whether technical jobs would be more rewarding or not.
Also FUCK people who say 40 hours is nothing. It's nothing if you're a fucking vegetable brained normie. You have to add in the time expense of chores, commute, unexpected bs, cooking and eating food, daily exercising, sleeping 8 hours a night. All of which take up a gigantic amount of free time on weekdays relative to what you have left after work. And that's the BARE MINIMUM. I haven't mentioned socialising, which for me is Jow Forums. What abljt reading or learning in your free time? A vegetable brained normie gives no fucks about any type of flourishing.
Jeremiah Richardson
He did Maths and Further Maths and Warwick. Still hates it.
Parker Butler
The picture fits. Edward Norton played a whiny faggot who was always complaining but lacked the spine to evolve. He had to actually create an imaginary fairy godmonster to drag him out of this apathy, but still spends most of the movie unaware of his existence. Piss and moan. All you do is piss and moan. Go join a boxing club, you bitch.

Leo Miller
Kek, not much academic literature to it, that is limited to chemistry/technic sides, and supply chain management. But, yes I do enjoy working together to make beautiful products that I actually appreciate and use myself.
Thanks, I'm sure my boss will get a hard on when he hears that
Wyatt Bennett
>forensic accountant for military contractor What sort of stuff do you do?
Sebastian Martinez
Better than working outside moving heavy shit in the burning hot sun. Most people would rather be bored in an office with air conditioning and plenty of spare time than work their ass off every single minute of the day outside with sunburn and sore muscles for scrapes of cash. If you’re that bored, just ask for more work. I’m sure your boss wouldn’t mind. In fact, I’d smell a raise coming. Who cares if people think you’re brown nosing? It’s not like you’re friends with those people in the first place.
Daniel Wood
investigate fraud/embezzlement/analyse financial info for court/law So I just hammer numbers together and explain them to private investigators/intelligence guys then tell them what is going fucky or normal
Stop fucking complaining. I only make 17k a year working security. Id love an office job where all I do is check boxes and chill for 40k. You are literally living the life and you are bitching like a faggot.

wagecuck for 10 years, make enough cash, buy a house in Minnesota and retire like a king there until you kill yourself 12 years later
James Thomas
Graduate interviews often seemed to me like a popularity contest. The group tasks were often disjointed and fake, the interviews I'm sure were rehearsed 10's of times by the other applicants and everything seemed so superficial. It's a shame that all graduates have to go through a process of
1000-2000 word Application -> Online Maths test/English test -> first interview -> Assessment centre -> Partner interview
Just to land a decent job.
I literally got in on my last application of the season because everywhere else had filled their intake.

I don't have friends.
For some crazy reason I went from having a healthy social life at 20 in University to none at all once I started work at 23.
Cameron Martin
Why the fuck would you choose to ruin your body for less money than doing boring office shit? >Muh physical labor toughens you up I can afford to go to the gym and get fit without destroying my body and it's ability to perform basic functions.
I'll take years of dull inter-office two faced horseshit over months of dealing with indolent, aggressive Maoris and angry old farts who think their industrial hearing loss is a badge of honor. They live in dwellings one step above state housing and will never rise further. There's a reason we import Filipinos to do manual labor.
Gavin Sanders
You Brits sure do idealize those days, don't you? Sometimes it seems like the serf mentality is baked so deep into your brains there is no return for you.
Julian Martin
ridiculous that a high salary in the UK is 44k whilst living in the highest living cost city in the world
i thought israel was a socialist hellhole but you get $50k straight out of college as a programmer so maybe it isn't so bad
Leo Gonzalez
That sounds pretty great why did you leave?

honestly think if I didn't have her I'd just kill myself once I actually left my job
im a 26 y/o neet with no savings, no gf, no education, no skills whatsoever. It could be worse bro
Luke Stewart
Remove Minnesota from your statement and you wont have to kill yourself. Fuck, being in between fucking yankee liberal faggots and somali serial rapists would suck, no wonder yankees are such faggots.

you are lucky to have a gf, focus on not ruining it and loosing her now, it could happen don't get obsessed, but don't sleep either
