Right now I’m working as Senior Accountant with prior experience in audit and FDD and am beginning to hit a moment of clarity that maybe I just don’t want to do accounting anymore. I really enjoyed the client facing portion of PA but I can’t go back and deal with the culture of it now that I’m out and maybe it’s just time to pivot to something else but utilize what I’ve learned. I can’t see myself just doing month end close for the rest of my career. Open to any ideas with good pay lol.

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV.

What’s your argument for or against replicas?

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
