On some good news for myself, I have been able to get CMA member scholarship. In terms of what I can do, should I go for my California CPA first or CMA? I am graduating in Fall 2022 so I am trying to see what should I put my focus on other than getting a job and doing good to myself and coworkers. untzthatshit posted:Woo hoo, finally a CMA question! Oh okie, CPA it is then. Thank you for the advice and congrats on getting into a near decade into your career path.

Having a bad day, learnt that one of the job offers I had was World Finance Group, an MLM scheme. Still looking for internship and accounting work. So far everyone wants a 9-5 Monday to Friday and nothing else. Sucks for me since I have classes monday to wednesday and I don't have options to reschedule to late night and weekends. Will try other accounting positions and see what sticks.

Eigo posted:Man, having bad finance partners in industry can really suck. I cover seven plants as an accounting manager with what's effectively a three day close and the finance manager for three of my locations expects everything to be done by the third workday mid day. I've never worked with a finance partner who just refuses to do his job and forecast during close with what's available. Even if I give an estimate, he then follows up and wants to know when it'll be final which ultimately just eats more time to waste explaining. Wow that is absolutely unreasonable deadline and unreasonable financial partners. Like holy hell mate how do you even get anything done with people like that? EDIT: DANG IT I KEEP GETTING MORE INVOICES. I think I'm done correcting my work to send to my supervisor and then there's more stuff that was missing from the statement of accounts. I been working 8 hours a week part time and it never ends.

Was able to finish invoices on time. Would it be beneficial to get my bosses to use quickbooks instead of excel? They seem old school and only seem to use excel files and hand held basic calculators. My professors say using mainly excel is quite inefficient and costly, but not sure if bosses would want to pay money on something like official accounting software.

PatMarshall posted:This job is not worth worrying about and i would absolutely advise tou to find something better after graduation. It sound like you will have a bachelors and be CPA eligible. If they are keeping their books in Excel, then you are not learning anything particularly applicable, no serious organizatiion would even consider it. It's fine for part time or an internship, I suppose, but you'd be better served applying for full time jobs in public or at larger organizations. Have you talked to career services? Are their on campus interviews or events? You were having trouble finding part time, but I suspect that is because most places are looking for full time, apart from certain internships, and those are usually on a pretty rigid recruiting schedule. You can do way better than this place. You're right mate. On worse news they terminated my work contract to get their other employees overseas. I am now jobless again but worse since this was independent contractor job. I'll be forced to job hunt again. I hate this.

PatMarshall posted:I mean are you eligible to sit for the exam. Aka, do you have your 150 credit hours or your states equivalent. Anyway, I'd recommend talking to career services. The window for entry level hiring for the next busy season is probably finished, but people are always dropping out so I'm sure HR and recruiters should still be interested in talking to you. LinkedIn is also a useful resource. I'll try to see what I can do. Thank you for the advice.

Well that is good news for me to hear. If this current VITA to in house hiring doesn't happen I guess I got another thing going for me. Speaking of which I feel like I'm getting more comfortable talking with other prospective clients. So far I have yet to deal with anyone ranting and raving on the phone like I just damned their entire bloodline. Hopefully when that happens I can handle it like an adult instead of lashing out.
