Great video!

u cute gurl and very smart

Do auditors work long hours outside of big season as well? Great video!

I have been in the CPA game for a long time now. I majored in accounting because I knew I could get a job in the field after graduation. Graduated. Joined a Big 6 firm like I was programmed to by my professors. Worked four years there and hated every minute of it. So, I then moved into a Fortune 500 position as I thought it would be easier. Better life balance, etc. Wrong. We were publicly traded and basically worked every day during January/February so we could make investors and upper management happy or mad about that year's results. I kept up with my hours for one week and one week only during this period. I calculated how much I made per hour that week and realized I would have been better off working at a fast food joint. I wish I was joking about this, but I'm dead serious. I made the mistake of staying in the game too long as life happens. I got married, had a child, got a big house in the suburbs, etc. Once that happened, I basically was a slave to the grind. I applaud you for realizing you needed to get out before it began to destroy you as a person. I wish you much success and happiness as you progress with your plans. One last thing. My now 19 year old daughter is a sophomore in college in the Bay Area of San Francisco. She's not considering majoring in accounting. Yes, I think she actually listened to me in her last couple of years in high school. If she hadn't, I would be twice as worried about her as I am. Again, great video and I hope you continue making them for people who are thinking about majoring in accounting. And again, best wishes for your future.

Thanks a lot!

What state are you in? Some states don't even break down what type of cpe to do. Lol. You usually just have to do 40 hours a year generally.

Can we connect? I m undergoing CPA

I’m currently in Top 20 and making $60,000 a year but there is a 50 hour cap per week during busy season

Obviously CPA exam has been a pain in my ass that won't bother me any longer I have gotten my license already thanks to you Mr Dylan God bless you more cuz you made it possible for me

I have 2 years of accounting experience since i graduated and I already realized that i don't want to ki** myself for a employer. it is never good enough, always more work more tasks more everything. I am in the private sector, never tried public but heard it is even more demanding so i will stick to private but i am already having a mid career crisis. it is so boring, trying to find the right balance and def want my own business

What do you use to edit your video? Super cute

Which tax subservice line? Some subservice lines get higher compensation than others. International tax, for example, get paid more.

Thanks for your contributions to the accounting profession

I have been an auditor for the big 4 and mid sized firms and now an accountant. I hate these jobs, I find myself staring at the wall contemplating my life, for average pay. I also have an MBA but I just don’t know where to go from here? The accounting pay is not great at the moment compared to other professions considering the amount of stress and hours you are put through

I love how you searched for God and put your faith in him. I ask all the time if I am on the right path as well

Hey Jen - CourseCareers sent you an email about a paid partnership. Did you get a chance to read it yet?

Hi, could you tell me where did you see tax depreciation $14,000 in FS please elaborate it

Was it your first year as a senior associate when you made $92,000?

Very nicely laid out. Thank you!

I am in Africa , with a CPA license can I get a US remote job? Please help

I've completed my masters and was until few days back looking to pursue CPA but after looking lots of videos on accountants being CPAs leaving their jobs. I'm questioning myself to whether pursue CPA or not. so yeah I would like to ask you if CPA is worth to be pursued in 2024?

Simple and easy to understand. Thank you so much!

No more videos?

Hello, I just started back in school at 28 for my accounting degree. Is there still hope for non traditional students having a decent career? I’ll be 32 upon completion.

thank you so much for this video! I've heard that once you leave the Big 4 in tax, it's hard to go private/have PT opportunities so knowing that you've successfully secured those positions is encouraging!

This is so informative. It gives people who are interested in the field a sneak peek into what a market analyst does in this role. I do have a question for yoir guest: what was yhe source to find out that the real users of the product were the daughters in one of her examples? I thought Google Analytics does not collect that.

Stoopit

Thanks for sharing such information blog. I have a question -if I passed my CPA from Connecticut state in USA then in that case can I get job any other states of America. Is there any other exam required

Hey jen thanks for the informative video ! I'm going to be majoring in accounting and had a question. When I work in public accounting fur 2-3 years and get my CPA, would I be able to work seasonally for 4 months as a contractor then take time off ? I've read that some accountants work for the Big 4 or other firms using contractors during the busy season. How common is this and is it always busy every year where one can find a 4-5 month contract ? Thanks.

I like travel too.

This is what I was looking for, your explanation was easy to understand, thank you so much!

getting paid $37.50 an hour as an intern so I imagine being an associate is higher

What are those plastic call that u packed ur stickers?

Instead of waiting for complimentary webinars for your continuing education, contemplate investing in an unrestricted subscription available at a remarkably reasonable rate through my-cpe. Relying on my-cpe for my ongoing education has proven to be a game-changer for me.

Hidden skill I have, that help in my business adventure. ❤

Heya! Can you please list down the softwares that will be helpful for a tax profile?

i have been CPA since 2 year and I've been using my-cpe for a while now, and I'm always impressed by how they manage to keep their courses both affordable and incredibly high-quality. Plus, everything is so up-to-date, it feels like they're always one step ahead.

You can literally find this exact same video from every profession. I think the profession is not the issue but the job and the boss and toxic work environment

Pretty morbid lmao

Why when you don't have to?

Updated trial balance will be the end of me! 😵😵

There is an "a-n-t" at the end of the word accountant

Thank you so much for your advice. I’m in public accounting and going through my first busy season right now. I’m so tired from it. I definitely need to get out of public accounting

Thanks for the info. I think my-cpe is one of the best platform I came across which provides valuable courses. They are pretty affordable provide grate value unlike other platforms with free cpe and provide sales demos. Which platform do you use?

Thank you for this video! Very helpful! 😊

Accounting to me feels so lonely, i feel like theres rarely interaction/talking needed between the team. Im going into inside sales, pay is around the same. I guess if you have your CPA , you hve an opportunity to make more than sales, but too monotonous.

This exact thing happened to me. I was the team champion but as soon as I started to prioritize myself I was the worst employee. I was still in public accounting. Actually my last day was last Friday.

Your video is amazing. I hope u teach accounting online ;)) ..

I’ve been a CPA for about 7 years now (3 years in public and 4 years private) and I’ve noticed the more I commit my entire existence to work, the less stressed I am/I start to find work kind of enjoyable… but the second I start trying to have expectations for a personal life, I immediately become stressed and depressed about being in this unforgiving profession. I really need to figure something out before it’s too late.
