How did you end up in Accounting? When I started college, I planned on going into finance, and one thing led to another, and here I am.

Sameeee. Which makes me wonder if I should really be choosing something rather than going with the flow :/

I didn't like finance, so I chose accounting

I just knew I wanted to work with people. I initially wanted to be an entrepreneur, but my accounting professors convinced me to work on getting my CPA license first.

They explained that I could either:

a) end up loving public accounting and create a good, stable career for myself
or b) the extra cash I can get from the increase in salary from my license will give me some seed money for any business I decide to start.

It was a great decision, and I l've met so many new people working in public accounting.

I saw the affects of the 2008 recession and wanted to choose a stable career.

Im also very organized and logical so it allows me to capitalize on my talents

I revised my CTC from JPMC before joining. Now in 1-1 discussion my manager told very nice things about me but also told me that my CTC is already above market standards for my experience and tech stack. He told that they won't be able to justify my pay and gave me SOO. How much is the hike and bonus for SOO rating?

Hi all, negotiating with HR on salary for a new AS position and want to know what’s fair. I was an AE for two years, took a promotion at another agency for SAE for only 8 months and am now being recruited for AS at 80k. All of my agencies have been large, I’ve worked on pharma and a large global account, I also started “managing” at the AE level due to my team’s structure. Is $80k fair? Thanks!
