[@mousecop0761]

Thank you for providing useful information that most people don’t have access to or know until they’ve already entered the field

Anything M&A advisory related is the best highest paying

Not going to disagree!

I got good 3.95 GPA but if I m 53 ys what position should apply ?

And in the real world best outcomes is going to be a very small percentage of people and the reality is also that if you don't have public accounting experience then you're going to be very limited in your advancement and options and also in trying to advance by moving to other companies.

[@TheFinancialController]

Public Accounting used to be the best path, but not so much with the advance of tech and AI. Now, the game is your ability to improve processes using tech and AI (ie. can you research tools to improve work, and implement them?)

[@sharonthehuman5954]

@@TheFinancialController Perhaps so but all the roles I've been interested in have been a nogo b/c those recruiters and companies require public accounting and often specifically auditing experience, won't even consider you without it.

why would you want someone with a high GPA, High amount of extra curricular activity when yourself aren't even into extra curricular activities. What about the kids that had to work while going to school so they were not able to have enough time in a day to be apart of extracurricular activities, they instead had to make sure they are making money enough to feed their selves and their family. Complete joke of what you look for and the types of employers you want. I bet you love those 4.0 Accounting students who do not know how to clean their own bums, choose what outfit to wear everyday, know how to do their own laundry, and the best part they are horrible when it comes to the real world but hey 4.0 student should mean they can do absolutely phenomenal for you job wise right?

[@TheFinancialController]

I actually value those who have to work during school, even if the work is busing tables or local business. It shows grit and ability to be responsible. Even extra points if you did it feed your family. I'll be sure to make this clean in my next videos.

@ I’m happy to hear your perspective-it’s refreshing to see a C-suite executive with an open mind. Could you offer any guidance on setting up a strong resume? Alternatively, how can I effectively leverage my experience with odd jobs to stand out in interviews or as a candidate? It feels like the hiring process in many firms and industries heavily favors students who showcase projects (real or fabricated) and internships. Unfortunately, I’ve seen firsthand how some applicants exaggerate or falsify their experience-whether by using their parents’ company names or connections to family friends to claim internships or achievements that didn’t happen. This makes me question whether being an honest, hardworking applicant is enough to compete in such a system. How do candidates like me, who value integrity, navigate this landscape and demonstrate our worth when honesty seems overshadowed by these shortcuts? I don’t expect a reply or a broader discussion on this, as I understand the realities of the system and how widespread these practices can be. If you’ve managed to succeed without compromising your values, thank you for showing that it’s still possible. You’ve restored a bit of my faith in the process, however rare that might be.

I would also like to add that accounting students can also sometimes find part time work or internships that pay prior to graduating as I did both to get experience while earning money prior to graduating.

[@pabloescoburr2704]

@ yeah but those internship to full time don’t start until August plus the only way it’s worth doing internships for is when you get have 3+ internships and weigh out all the firms. Chances of that happening is slim unless you have connections or are that no life trust fund 4.0 student who doesn’t know anything about life but accounting
