Hii, anyone going to the ALPFA? Convention this year? Or went to it last year? Tips?

This guy Elon is hilarious. Trolls everyone, sleeps with people's wives.
When I grow up I wanna be just like him.
Even roasting other billionaires like Bezos and Gates.
I always thought to reach to the top you'd have to act a certain way, but this guy simply does what he wants and does not care.

Brought too much pears from Costco. Trying to pimp them out to my family.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Has anyone had Marriott gift you the next level of status if you’re only a few nights short of the requirement at end of year?

Does anyone else here work at a hotel front desk? How long did it take to get a promotion?

I’m a foreign qualified lawyer who passed the NY Bar Exam recently. I’m looking to apply to law firms along the East Coast. How do I get in touch with a recruiter to help me with my job search?

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

Hi! Anyone willing to refer me to OFRO at PwC? TIA!

Thoughts on SNAP puts ? I feel like Snapchat is the least utilized social media platform behind IG, tik Tok and Facebook. Yet it’s basically at a 52 week high

My brother got me a weightlifting belt
Unsure if I need one or when/if I should use it
Any advice?

How does Visa bonuses work? Does everyone with an average strong rating automatically get the target 8, 10, or 12%, etc. bonus? Do they get more or less for other reasons?
Who gets equity?

Do partners at top consulting firms have better WLB?
An Associate here contemplating whether all this is worth it.
Thanks!

Hi, I am looking to be referred into some top consulting firms. I am a Project Coordinator at Nielsen with 1 YOE. I have applied thru various job portals but the application does not seem to be viewed or going forward. Would be really helpful if my fellow fishes can refer me. I will be happy to discuss further on this and share my CV. Have a good day!

I would think Miami, LA, Chicago, NYC. Anyone attend the ALPFA convention?

The word "Latinx"

Discuss.

We still can’t score 50+ after an invite? Dang...

anyone here a conservative and a member of a political organization/non-profit in the NYC area? Want to be active but it’s hard to find latinos who affiliate with the republican party. Don’t come @ me

Hola! Ya se terminó el busy season. Como les fue?

Is anyone here actively involved in ALPFA and if so, would you recommend it? What have you been able to accomplish through your membership/participantion. Ultimately, I just get the sense that its for college students to network and try landing their first job.

Wow so dead! I guess we really are the minority 😕

Anyone else here from a shithole country? I’m proudly Dominican 🇩🇴 😁

How’s attending the ALPFA conference in Vegas?

Anyone else have their parents and tias try to set you up with everyone?

Any news from anyone, especially during covid?

Would it be frowned upon or make anyone feel comfortable if I as a Black male join ALPFA? I want to get true genuine opinions as I don't want to offend anyone/culture

Latino now working on PwC NYM... Is there anyone else from South American countries in this office ? I mean like secondments or transfers. Not mandarory to be a South American either... Just curious.

Out of curiosity...is ALPFA 🇪🇸 friendly? I know back in the day, but curious how it was now. I want to encourage everyone to get into accounting. Thanks!

I’m looking for a Spanish speaking auditor for a Fortune 500 company. Awesome international travel if anyone is interested.... TIA!

How do you answer this question “What race are you?” Seems simple but as someone of Latin American geographic decent it seems more complex than Asian, black, native America, or White. No brown box !

To all my fellow accountants, follow my IG account @be.audit.you.can.be for some great accounting humor! I just started and will be updating daily. Who doesn't need a quick giddy up? :)

Tax sucks. Bleah.

Whoohoo! We count! 61 members!

What up ya'll - let's start getting more people in here. Curious what your experience has been like as a minority at your firm.
