This thread is very timely since I have a lot to be grateful for currently. I recently became a licensed CPA, bought a house, accepted a job offer that comes with a 50% raise, and I am getting married this weekend. It has been a good few weeks.

Something similar happened to my cousin not too long ago. He had just got his tires rotated and had a wheel come off on the interstate on his way home. Thankfully nobody was hurt, but it's never good when you are driving and see one of your wheels pass you. It sucks that someone at the shop...

Yeah, I audit investment managers and a large portion of them are in NYC so I have visited quite a few times. The firm that offered is on West Street.

Chattanooga, TN.

I currently do a lot of work with clients in NYC since I specifically audit investment managers. Last time I was up there my friend picked up some trash on the road and a homeless man yelled at him for "ruining the character of the city" by picking up the trash. They are definitely a different...

Thanks everyone for the opinions! I was already hesitant despite them offering a 150% increase in pay, but reading your comments just solidifies the fact that it wouldn't be a great fit.

I currently work at an audit firm in a medium sized city in the south. I received an offer from a large audit firm in a large southern city which included a 50% salary increase. I also just received an offer from a very well known investment management firm in NYC for X% more. My question is...

That sounds brutal. The closest I have ever come to that is working full time(I work in audit so that is 40-60 hours a week), getting my MBA full time in night classes and studying for the CPA exam all at the same time. I was working around 10 hours, going to class for 3 (not counting homework)...

I also agree that the whole situation is ridiculous, but I also read that she was trying to compete in the boy division since she wanted to be a boy. I think it is obviously unfair for her to compete with the girls while she is taking testosterone because any other girl would get disqualified...

I am making a pretty tough decision regarding a job change. I currently work at a firm that audits investment managers that pays OK but has a great work environment and great people. I am probably underpaid by around $30k given that I have Accounting and Finance undergrad degrees, an MBA with a...

Will did reach out on FB and was super helpful. We got the situation squared away and the credit has been restored. I do think they should do a better job disclosing the use and time limit of the credit on t heir site, but at least for now everything is good. I'm sure many people don't have this...

I have looked that up also. I'm an auditor in my day job so I'm all about doing research. I don't believe the same rules apply however, since I was given in-store credit and not an actual gift card. I'm pretty sure those are different when it comes to that law.

Last June I wrote an Install Guide for American Muscle and in return received $200 store credit. There is no where on their website that states they have the right to take back their payment if I didn't spend it in time. Like most people, I was saving up for a larger item, probably a one piece...

Here is what I did. I purchased the 2013 version of the macbook pro in July of 2014. It was $899 from apple (includes $100 off for college students). It has 500GB of storage which is much more than they offer now. I then partitioned the hard drive so that 300GB of the storage ran IOS and the...

Yeah, it doesn't make much sense. I had an accounting and finance undergrad degrees so I just went ahead and got a MBA and certificate in data analytics to finish up my 150. I figured I might as well get something useful from it instead of just wasting money taking the easiest classes possible...
