Something I’ve been thinking about lately is how different accounting careers can look even when people start at the same place. A few years in, some people are in leadership tracks while others prioritize stability or flexibility. It’s interesting how the same degree can lead to such different lifestyles. Curious how people decided what mattered most to them.

In order to advance it is necessary, but not sufficient, to work hard and be competent.

Then it becomes just like your Frat in college. Some will be buddies with the right people and rapidly advance and some will not.

Choose wisely my friends….

I think about this sometimes as well. A lot of my colleagues had very different journeys from mine, and some had very similar ones that ended up in different places. It's pretty fascinating.

Interviewed for Meta exactly 2 weeks ago today. Contacted the recruiter last Tuesday and they said they were waiting to hear back from the hiring manager to discuss the interview results. Anyone that interviewed or gotten a job with Meta how did it take from the onsite to get your decision? Since I had to reach out to the recruiter and haven't heard anything since I assume they're interested in another candidate.

I was interviewed for a perticular customer, which went well and also received an offer. Few days before of my joining date, i came to know that the technology stack from customer got changed and customer had no requirement for which i was hired. However parent company still hired me and now they're in process of allocating me in some other clients. Sometimes i feel insecure about this situation. How to cope up with such cases?
