They’re asking for a CPA, five years of experience, and expert-level financial modeling for a role titled Junior Accountant. The salary is barely enough to cover a studio apartment in this city, yet the responsibilities list looks like it was written for a CFO. At what point do we collectively agree to stop applying for roles that are clearly mislabeled to save the company a buck?

Yeah those postings are getting a bit ridiculous. It’s like they want senior-level skills on a junior budget. Hard not to just skip those altogether.

Yikes
