Why is this fair again?
Why do any of us put up with this when the chances of making partner is literally close to 3%. And for BAME, 0.01%.
I quit accounting and changed to finance and economics once I realized how fucking lazy all accounts are and how I was being set up to be a grunt. You could be working on Wall Street right now lol and it was way easier.

I'm not quite at that level (yet). My finance experience is 0.

Some big shot partner literally said that during some presentation on our first day.
He said one day you guys might be where I am right now. As though all 250 of us would get to that position, rather than just 12-15.
Sounds like you voluntarily made an agreement for salary in exchange for labor. If you don't like it, start your own shit crybaby. Your field is nearly obsolete with automation anyway dumbass.

Elijah Jenkins
They pay for our qualification, which they dock from our pay. It amounts to around £8000 a year or so, so in effect, we should be earning £43,000 a year. At 24 years old that's tidy.
Dylan Peterson
>>Why is this fair again? >Because whatever they're doing, there's less people who are qualified to do it so their wages are higher. >Go do something yourself.
It's most likely nepotism and being at the right spot in the right time
Jace Ortiz

Who said it should be fair? Your mummy?
Sounds like they are smart and you are dumb.
HTH.
Luis Morgan
>automation
Meme. Automation won't magically make a set of complicated group accounts out of thin air. It's not like a computer can check pdf'd bank statements and stacks of paper receipts. Software helps us, but it won't replace us.

You could always look for another job if you think you're such a qualified worker who is worth more than what they're paying you. This should be a lesson to all you anons, your charisma and people skills will ultimately get you further than any hard work or qualifications

Jack Rogers
Accoutants do it because they want to be partner one day. Or because they just want a big 4 on their resume. Did you think this would be a free and easy career path? Become a cost accountant for a manufacturing firm, the hours are much better.
Julian Walker

The rich old guys were doing the shit you’re doing now 30 years ago. They got on with it. And now they’re millionaires who spend all day wining and dining clients. Stick with it and you’ll be in the same boat at their age. Wining instead of whining. Pussy.
Nathan Bell
Accounts can be incredibly complicated. Just ask any CPA what they think of FAR.
>Lunch break
What's that?
Leo Jackson
Stop studying and focus in your job.
James Cook

Brody Powell
He's "BAME" - Black or Asian.
Camden Walker
The studying is part of the job. The company pays for my qualifications and expects me to do them.
And? Why do you focus on divisions of race when the one that affects you the most is division between the haves and the have nots.
Wyatt Reed
Go to UVA and go work on wallstreet. Enter investment banking as an associate. I know someone who has done this. 300k all in
Robert Ross
Why don't you start your own company and hire wageslave cucks such as yourself? Then you can be the CEO? If you just present your scenario as if it sprung into reality without any foundation-building in the years and decades beforehand, yes, it will seem unfair. The reality, though, is that people risked their own time, money, effort, and reputation to establish large companies so that, in some uncertain future, they can live luxuriously and just watch the numbers.
It's hard to admit it or do anything about it, but you DO NOT NEED TO WORK AT THIS OBVIOUSLY SHITTY JOB. LIFE IS TOO SHORT.
Aiden Allen
i used to to this and now fucking co located agile team are all the rage and they want us to start coming.
Robert Baker

Grayson Cooper
Oh fucking hell. “Black Asian Minority Ethnics” complaining that job opportunities in white countries aren’t equal for them. What do they think opportunities are like for whites are in their shithole countries? We get kidnapped and held for ransom the minute we step off the plane in most of the shithole countries these people come from.
YOU HAVE TO START AT THE BOTTOM AND WORK YOUR WAY UP. IT’S REALLY HARD. ITS UNLIKELY YOULL END UP RICH BUT IT IS PERFECTLY POSSIBLE. THE SAME APPLIES TO EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF SKEEN KOLA.
William Adams

Brayden Martin
Don't worry, my company just hired a foreigner to work over me at almost double my wage for a project I've owned for about a year. It will probably take him a couple of months to get acquainted with everything, so he can earn his wage because I'll be taking my skills elsewhere
Brandon Thompson
Job opportunities for whites in 3rd world countries is heaps good - if you're skilled that is. Think C-level finance executives or petroleum engineers.
>pay is usually 2-3x as much. >live in a nice gated or private community. >low taxes >private international schooling for the kids >Maids, drivers and cooks are all available and extremely cheap
Take it from someone who knows the 3rd world well.

Connor Robinson
>old white guys you fucking wish they were...
Wyatt Ross
Because when a huge ass client comes to the firm and they have x y and z accounting problems you would shit the bed and those old fuckers execute. That is why they are called executives. You might be working on some tiny portion of some crazy ass scheme and think it is just fine, but those cats thought of the plan, the pieces to get it done(that you and others are doing), and the hopeful outcome for the client. You do not have that long perspective now. You do not have that wisdom to walk the knife’s edge of legal, regulatory, perception, feasibility, cost, etc. you are a fucking pleb and until you see some of these deals made and a few succeed and a few fail, you ain’t shit. You are a fucking Excel human. You should just have green toolbars on your forehead and ass depending on which hole the fucker with the Rolex and caviar breath wants to use. And you seem uppity at that, so just pipe up and get fired faggot, we don’t care, there are a thousand more waiting to do your job.
Jace Howard
>Why is this fair again? Because you're too much of a pussy to risk making jobs for other pussies like yourself.
Life ain't fair, sissy bitch. If it was, I could kill you before you shoot up a school.

Most jobs are terrible. Luckily I usually work around 35 hours a week and expect to gross including bonuses $250k this year. If I ever get into a big executive position, I'll try to make as much as possible and then retire after a few years.

Xavier Thompson
This cunt is full of caffeine and anxiety. No one wants to sit with him in the lunch room, they just listen to him for the "zingers" if some compassionate and well meaning sits with them they would be disappointed as their way of opening up is to be borderline abusive. That fucking cunt has fucked up so many times and lost clients which then blamed his office for it. A miscalculation ad number invertions pale in comparison to the seer fuckery that when it came to his part of the work it had went to shit. He couldnt keep his big mouth shut and his "zingers" in his ass not to mention cutting corners and shrugging it off if his employees gave him feedback. "But I am the boss' fuck up cunt.

What you need to do is find a skilled industry that doesn't mass produce but still requires skilled labour. Aerospace manufacturing for example.
Nolan Edwards

BTW, OP work hard, get on your bosses' good side, and seek out promotions. Hopefully, you'll make it to partner level one day.
