Women in Accounting: I made a career pivot a few years ago from non-profit fundraising to accounting in hopes of making a livable wage and to build a career trajectory. My question to the accounting community is it unrealistic to think my managers would take the time to mentor me to help build my skillset? So far it hasn't happened and rather I've been told stay in your lane when I've brought up improvements to antiquated processes or suggested efficient methods. I don't want their jobs!

I know this is an old post, hopefully, you are doing well. I wanted to ask you why you quite fundraising and were you good at it? What made you good at fundraising? I want to get into fundraising but I don't seem to have the right info on how to do it well. Any advice would be great and I'd really love to know how much you made the nonprofit per year!

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
