I want to keep posting on this account even though my coding journey is pretty much over. I missed you all! How is everyone doing?!
I think it might be a golden opportunity for fintech and for people to up-skill with finance and technology.
Between the CPA shortage and the anticipated increase of accountants retiring, accounting software is going to take over and we will need people skilled in both.

I cannot imagine a better time to be a CPA or EA.
The public accounting industry is roughly 25% understaffed. A recent article I read says the public accounting industry is understaffed by 340,000 people.
Most people think the tax pro shortage will continue to get worse. I think it will get worse.
When you work in an industry that is understaffed by 25% and understand that it takes a minimum of 5 years in the industry to properly train a new CPA or EA on how to handle those things typically encountered in a firm that handles taxes, bookkeeping, etc. it becomes apparent that those people who get their credentials are going to do very well financially.
The sky is the limit for an EA or CPA!

Career tip of the day that I wish I knew when I graduated college 5 years ago-
Try to avoid hyper-specific, corporate-jargony job titles. This is very common at larger corporations, but I find that it is very hard to translate those titles/responsibilities to other companies
My unpopular career opinion that I recently changed my mind about is that work and life are very much the same.
I used to think that work was JUST paycheck and a means to live life outside of work, but when you spend 8hrs a day doing something, that takes up a lot of your life.
I started this account to connect and network with fellow #100devs students as I pursued a career in software development.
Well, a LOT has changed in the 2-3 years since then, but I still would love to document my career journey
It all started in 2020 with a BA in Sociology…
Like I said, nothing is set in stone, and I have researched almost every career path possible over the last month since learning that I will get laid off, and #Accounting seems to be the safest bet for job security and growth over time. Plus I love numbers lol
Returning from my long X hiatus to announce that I am getting laid off!
I am obviously super bummed but looking forward. My role was sales/account management-adjacent, so if anyone has leads for any industry (or really any role) I would love to take a look!
Anyway- I love the community I have on here and want to continue posting regardless of whether or not it’s coding/tech related. I love having this space to get career advice and network!
2 months away from my 1 year anniversary at my job. This is a huge deal because I had to be in this position for a year before I am allowed to transfer internally to a different department.
My perspective has changed A LOT since i started #100devs 2 ish years ago. The job market has also changed a lot. I’ve learned to adapt and be grateful for what I have, even if it’s not exactly the industry I saw myself in.
