Is anyone here a showbiz accountant? I've always been curious about what that career is like. If it's not too much to ask, would you describe what a day in your life looks like? I'm considering a pivot, and the only thing that seems even vaguely desirable right now is accounting in showbiz. Is it or is it not as sparkly as it seems?

It's a mix of glamour and crunching numbers. I manage finances for celebrities, producers, and studios, from tax planning to budgeting for film projects. It's not all red carpets and premieres, but it's rewarding to see projects come to life. The work can be intense, especially during tax season or when a big production is underway. While it's not as "sparkly" as it might seem, it's a unique blend of creativity and finance that keeps my job exciting. If you're considering a pivot, it's worth exploring—just be prepared for the financial side of the entertainment industry!

I’m just starting out in my accounting career and I’m from a small town. How does one even break into that industry? I’m pretty sure having a CPA helps.

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

So engineers can now automate the writing of basic code, and potentially more complex tasks, by using GPT-3.

For those who are technical: If machines can write code, how are you going to upskill? And what are the best ways make yourself indispensable?

I am not embracing the notion that you shouldn't have to code to do data science. However, I think coding may soon be much less of a competitive advantage.
