I tell my friends that the CPA will guarantee I’ll never make below a certain salary in accounting. My quesiton is what do you think that minimum is for the rest of my life? 60k? 55k?
@mini & david… once again I completely agree with your assessment…and in Houston with all the oil/gas companies you can expect that with a CPA and some good experience 100k isn't unreasonable after 4-5 years.
REG-80, 77, 77
BEC-67, 68, 71, 67, 71, 74, 71, 74, 72, 77
FAR- 72, 65,67, 53, 75 (truth be known the 53 was with 4 hours of studying)
AUD-58, 62, 72, 74, 74, 75
took 5 years but I'm DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@jeff could you elaborate? are you saying when you're interviewing for a new job don't disclose your salary history? how do you go about doing this in a polite manner? “i respectfully wish to keep that information to myself”?
When you say, “it's poker for sure”, are you saying we can bluff and make up a salary in hopes of the prospective employer matching it?
You just simply say “I'm looking for a fair offer”. I've never had an employer ask me my salary history. My friend wishes he would have said “I can't tell you that..I won't have any cards to play” and let the Awkward smiles fade .. And it will be awkward but it will fade and then move on.
My friend ended up being the #1 candidate, corporate bureaucracy was no match for reality and he said no to their offer.
jeff is absolutely correct…………………we were taught this in business school…………….i have practised this numerous times and is doable………………..only once did i lower my figures out of desperation and the employer told me never do that as he felt sorry for moi…………….so let them go first with the numbers
