Inaccurate for tax. Way more time learning the technical stuff as you're going straight to reviewing/learning instead of manually entering data all day. So much overreaction just like every other innovation. You're brainpower will be better spent on high impact things. If you don't have a job because AI/Offshoring you should upskill to find a better job.

I think this is the expectation but the reality is the staff level aren’t researching and aren’t getting training on technical concepts. So they can’t fix anything they think is wrong but also don’t generally know what is technically wrong. Or the stuff that is right, they don’t question it to understand why it’s right so they can identify when it’s wrong

I have been mentoring this new graduate who recently finished college with an MIS degree, she has also passed the CISA exam and she cannot find a job anywhere. All big four and regional firms have told her there are limited entry level positions. It’s gotta be so discouraging for her and others

While this may be true for the average person, the highly motivated ones will still research and learn like they would have before, and it will be easier for them to outperform their peers IMO.

I’ve been saying for years how bad offshoring staff work is because the majority of people learn by doing. Unfortunately most companies expect a manager, SM, partner etc to be local and/or in the same time zone and be able to occasionally meet in person so that cannot be someone offshore. We should be investing in staff accountants in the US and give them technology tools to be more efficient. They learn and grow and become the future leaders.

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.
