How do you over come being reject because you don't have month end close experience (Trying to get into private)

You have transferable skills. You may not have prepared the close but you performed review over many close items at the audit level. My advice, focus on communicating that you’re willing and able to learn quickly and someone will take a chance on you. Rejection is just the hiring company being conservative.

Month end closing experience is overrated. If you’ve reviewed enough balance sheet recs, it seems intuitively an easy concept. You may not have practical ERP experience, but employers shouldn’t care as much about that stuff versus your actual accounting knowledge. If a company doesn’t want to train you on your first close, it’s not somewhere you want to workerr p

Posting here, like I've posted elsewhere bc it keeps being relevant: I left EY for a CPA firm that pays base salary >20% above big 4. We get overtime if we work over 45 hours a week, travel bonuses up to 25% of base salary if we travel, profit sharing since there aren't a million partners to take all of the profits, and you get 3% of the client fees if you're on a client longer than 3 months. Plus, audit is optional. You can work in M&A, CFO advisory, treasury, reporting, etc. I'd never have those experiences staying at EY. Oh, and our trainings are in Vegas, not Secaucus.

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?
