Hello, I'm an accountant (specifically in tax) with an associate degree. I do plan to get a bachelor degree in the future. I'm job searching at this point.
Is accounting really that difficult to get into? I've seen people with masters degree getting laid off or not hired no matter how many applications they fill out.
I'm also interested in freelance work if it would speed up the process.

I am an acting senior and am training 3 new hires. They are not doing well, so I often re-do their works even after I give them 2 pages step by step instruction. The problem is my manager and director don't see the problems (because those problems happen behind the scene) and think all the A1s are performing exceptionally well. The A1s and I are all associates, so I don't even have a chance to give them an official feedback (snapshot at pwc). How to address this issue to my manager and director?

Got hired 3 years ago- newly created staff accountant role with the plan that it’ll go into a senior and then manager role. 1.5 years in I get a title promotion to senior, told I’ll get more duties, start supervising AP, and get monetary promotion to match next year.
