You can literally see the pain in this boyo's eyes knowing hes on a path to wagecuck for meager pay in the audit department outnumbered by sub 5/10 female coworkers. He knows he's made a mistake, but doesn't know how to turn it around.
Honestly BRUTAL. Accounting and the big 4 are the biggest cucks in corporate america. high hours, low pay, low prestige, boring work, boring coworkers, tons of stress and educational requirements(cpa test etc).
I'd rather make a gay for pay onlyfans than be an accountant.

Jordan Pixley put his attention to detail and love of numbers into his Clemson University accounting classes. But in internships, he felt bogged down by the repetitive tasks of accounting—such as balancing cash sheets—and the work proved less interesting than the college class he enjoyed most—data analysis.
The 22-year-old accounting major attended a KPMG LLP recruiting event in Orlando, Fla., but ultimately chose not to apply. He graduated last week without a job lined up and is exploring opportunities with the U.S. military. Accounting’s grueling hours—70- and 80-hour weeks are common at the biggest public firms before tax and audit deadlines—were part of the turnoff, he said.
“I was a little scared of it, not going to lie,” Mr. Pixley said. “I don’t know if I want to do all that.”

While some mathematically inclined students are drawn to accounting, the field still suffers from a stigma that it is uncool, with tedious work and daunting hours, said Keith Wolf, managing director at the Houston-based recruiting firm Murray Resources. Companies are sending young professionals into high-school classrooms to try to change that perception, and an industry group has drawn millions of views with a TikTok campaign to show the field in a fresh light.
Accounting is a reliable path to stable, steady work, Mr. Wolf said, but there are easier ways to enter the business world.
“There’s so many options,” he said. “Why pursue a much more difficult path?”

only connections you need are from attending a nice school. doing well in high school is CRUCIAL so you can attend a top school that feeds into IB, PE, tech, strategy consulting etc. you dont need family connections or anything once you get into the school (firms come to campus and recruit).
big 4 audit has equally bad hours and stress as all those options i listed with about 50% of the pay (srs). if you are going to work 75 hours week in audit with stress, why not work in investment banking where your annual bonuses as a 22 year old are over 100k starting (and over 250k after 2 years). thats just the bonus (not base)

If you somehow survive that, they dangle the MOGGER jobs in front of you. Tongue the right angus and it could be yours, but you'll be so burned out by then, you'll either stroke out/heart attack, or figure you're better off selling oranges by the roadside than ever put together another due diligence package.

I’ve never lead a financial statement audit but I know enough about it that it’s not what’s described in the article
Much of it is looking at the internal and external controls on fraud and other gaps in assurance that could lead to a misstatement on the annual report
Not “balancing cash statements” or whatever the phuck this article claimed

The very first sentence is a dead giveaway that this is a typical WSJ propaganda piece:
Side note: how can this even be considered the same species as us?
More than 300,000 U.S. accountants and auditors have left their jobs in the past two years, a 17% decline, and the dwindling number of college students coming into the field can’t fill the gap.
What a surprise, yet another WSJ article designed to lead readers to the conclusion that we need more immigration to fill roles. After all the WSJ is the paper of choice for businessmen who want to sell our country out but have plausible deniability for doing soSide note: how can this even be considered the same species as us?

One of my buddies is a partner in M&A and he is aging rapidly....
Making a chit ton of money, but the stress is literally killing him. Which is really weird because he could easily retire / do whatever he wants. But nope, he grinds it out.

I work in a related field, so my job has tons of ex big 4 including ex partners. Its a cuck job, especially at below the partner level, working insane hours for TERRIBLE pay. Its like IB but you dont get the pay lmao.
It must be pretty bad since the ex partners at my job definitely would have been taking a paycut.

i passed the cpa tests but need to get my license and do the 1 year experience requirement...
not looking forward to it tbh. I had the year of experience but it 'expired'...the rules around becoming a cpa are such bs for the pay. 150 credit hours, experience requirement, the tests themselves, and continuing education each year.
Might just get licensed and dip the phuk out and become a firefighter or something lol.

I dont think all partners need to work that hard at that level though.
I deal with a bunch and it seems a lot of their job is sucking up to clients and relationship management. Seen some when they are sending grovelling emails to clients apologising for their mistakes. Also when I talk technical to some thats a partner in that area, some dont seem to know what I'm talking about.
