@C1, your take is wrong. Accounting firms have shortage of talent. Less and less people are going into accounting and most firms are struggling to fill open positions.
Second, I’m an AI power user at a top 15 firm that prides itself as “tech forward.” We are heavy into AI and AI development as a firm. AI is nowhere remotely close to being able to replace accountants.
Any suggestions for AI training or resources?
The simple answer here is point of use, if you need a house cleaned someone needs to come to the house to clean it, if you live in a high cost of living area that will be expensive. If you need an AP clerk you can hire someone in Uganda and pay them $10 a day to do the work. If you had to hire an AP clerk that lived and worked where you did that would be way more expensive. Basically any job that can be done from anywhere should have a really low salary simply because the supply side will be way greater than the demand side, if you have a job that requires someone to be at a certain place at a certain time then the balance shifts
Blue collar jobs may have a higher floor, but they’ll almost always have a lower ceiling. If you stay in public, you’ll be making $130k+ five years out of school.
More than 1% of folks make it to manager or above and make more than $130k/year five years out of college
Supply and demand? Accountants are a dime a dozen (for now) and honestly should be an automated profession by now
Listen I’m all about a union! So totally with you there
Many accountants are not making 130k+ out of school in 5 years. In addition, the trades get time and a half on over time. I know people in the trades getting $70 an hour plus time a half that is a crazy salary. I also met an aircraft mechanic who just did 2 years of school and he will be making that as well. Accountants have to keep switching jobs networking just to even get close. They just have to stay in the same company for a few years and it’s automatic pay jumps
“If you stay in public”
It sounds like this job may not be the right fit for you. If you are truly unhappy in the role, it may be worth considering a different position or even a career path that better aligns with what you want. Maybe try housekeeping.
It falls into the category of jobs you originally posted about
It’s not just accounting. When society values white collar jobs / college degrees over blue collar jobs, eventually supply and demand catches up. I wouldnt necessarily say public accountants are underpaid, but blue collar wages have really risen because of the demand.
Sure - maybe you can make $100k cleaning a rich person’s house. How many cleaning jobs offer that opportunity? What’s long term earnings potential? A lot of other factors to way.
Yes but so do the other jobs they get new contracts and they get over time time and a half
The demand is high for this type of worker as most of them have been deported, left the country, or are in hiding. There's a big shortage of restaurant workers, hotel/house cleaners, and the like.
